Hello, my name is Sherrie. I recently graduated from Howard University and have returned home to Los Angeles, California. I’ve been babysitting since I was 16 years old and have a passion for working with children. I create a fun and safe environment for them while ensuring they adhere to their parents’ rules. I’m available mostly on Thursdays and Fridays, but if you request an interview early enough, I can adjust my schedule. If you’d like to schedule an interview, I’m available via Zoom. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you soon. P.S. I also have experience in pet sitting and household services.

Booked by 135 families in Downey, CA

Hi! My name is Grace! I am a behavioral therapist. Working with children is my passion. My passion developed when I ironically was a child myself. It all started on November 12, 1998, the day I finally became a big sister. I was always the youngest of my four sisters and one brother. When I became a big sister, I loved it. I always wanted to help, play with, provide for, and keep my younger brother and younger sister safe. That became something that stuck with me and blossomed beyond my big sister duties. My love for working with children got deeper and more loving. I started babysitting for family and then neighbors. I worked for an after school program and eventually became a preschool teacher. My current job doesn't even feel like work. That's how much I love working with children. Also, I have a car and I'm more than willing to drive kids around! Not a problem at all!

Booked by 4 families in Downey, CA

My name is Cassandra. I worked at an Elementary school for 3+ years. I have experience taking care of ages newborn-12 for 5+ years. I love helping out with kids. I have a driver's license and my own car. I am free all day Monday-Friday and sometimes on weekends. I am open to occasional babysitting. I am also more than happy to just help clean the house or run your errands for you. I used to have a Siberian Husky so I am used to the shedding and love dogs. I love taking the kid and dogs on walks to the park. I can also help the kids with their homework.

“Cassie was very help with my 11 month daughter. She helped me on short notice and I’m really appreciative of her availability to help us. She’s kind and attentive.”

Booked by 7 families in Downey, CA

Hello! My name is Jaylee and I’m 26 years old. I was born and raised in Long Beach, CA. I am the eldest of four siblings and have always taken on the responsibility of watching over my younger siblings. I have 4 years of experience babysitting for all ages. I am a teacher for Long Beach Unified School District and I earned my Master’s degree in Education. In addition, I worked for ACES, which is an autism treatment center, so I have experience working with kiddos that have special needs. Since I teach full time, I’m hoping to assist with one time services and/or I have flexibility with available hours needed in the evenings and during the summer. I am comfortable with pets, as I have a cat and dog of my own. I can cook, clean, help with school work and follow a schedule efficiently. CPR/First Aid certified for both pediatrics and adults. I understand how busy we all can get, and I would love to help out. :)

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
