Hello! My name is Darcy and I have 7 years of experience of working with children in different age groups throughout different work and volunteer roles that I’ve taken on. I’ve been doing volunteer work with the children’s ministry and youth group at my church for 6 years. I also worked at a pediatric surgery center for a little over year. And I do occasional babysitting jobs. I also started volunteering with a nonprofit called Youth Inspiration Nation Inc. last year so I’m constantly working with kids. I do work as a surgical coordinator but I babysit during my free time. I have my own transportation and I’m CPR certified. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. I look forward to hearing back from you.

Hello, My name is Jennifer. I have over 10+ years experience with kids of all ages. I started babysitting at the young age of 12 years old. I've always enjoyed spending time or teaching new things to young children. I was a tutor for 2 years and taught ages 5-13 years old. At age 15 I was involved with a nonprofit organization based on young kids and teenagers who were involved in alcohol or drugs. I've always found it fascinating to be able to make a difference in our community and help kids in need. While in college, I invested my weekends working as a Disney Princess for many Birthday Parties. I would dress up as all types of characters and perform for kids, teenagers and adults. When I wasn't in school, I worked part-time as a Swim Instructor. I instructed all ages from infants, toddlers, kids and teenagers. I was also involved as a Birthday Party coordinator during the weekends. I would host events and pool parties while supervising all staff and lifeguards. I'm also very active and was involved in sports during my High School years. I played Volleyball & Softball. I was Varsity Caption for my Cross Country Team & also involved in Dance. I have a very strong passion for sports and enjoy going on hikes on my spare time. I will be the dearest friend and most caring sitter that your child will adore. I have no problem meeting with you for an interview or using Facetime to discuss any of your concerns. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your wonderful family :)

Note : Urbansitter changed my profile name from “Amy” to my official name HongMei. Please call me Amy. I have been vaccinated for Covid and just had my Flu shot. Sept 2021 UPDATE : Returning to child care after 18 months off due to COVID. Available MON & FRI from 8-6pm. Early Mornings, Evenings, and Weekends remain on a case-by-case basis. 1. CHILD CARETAKER: * I absolutely love kids. I’m one of those "born to be a child caretaker" type of women. I have been taking care of children since before my boys (5 & 7) were born. Once my boys started school full-time, I began increasing my hours. We relocated to my husband’s parents home in Rhode Island during Covid. We returned to LA to start the new school year, and I’m returning to child care full time. * I provide parents with the confidence their child(s) are safe, happy, and well cared for. Previously through word-of-mouth, I've aggressively used UrbanSitter since August. * I’ve babysat months-old infants, supervised older children, and everywhere in-between. I had a live-in Nanny when both my sons were born. From this experience, I learned 1st hand how an extra pair of hand can save a new-mom’s sanity. * Difficult and/or active kids are no issue. I’ve never found a child whom didn’t respond well to my care. My husband and I have NEVER spanked our children. Timeouts, communication, & firm directions are more than adequate to correct a child's behavior. I’m very patient & understanding with all children. 2. SAFETY: * I grew up with traditional Chinese medicine, and learned western medicine through my husband's family (doctors). * I took First Aid & CPR classes in 2013, and in the process of being re-certified * I look forward to keeping your child(s) safe, happy, and engaged until you return home. 3. AVAILABILITY : * YOUR home: WEEKDAYS : M-F 8am - 6pm. EVENINGS & WEEKENDS : Case-by-case basis. * MY home : 24/7. We have a guest bedroom also used as a kid’s playroom. I babysit some of my regulars at my home. Welcome to random last-minute inspections, our home is both VERY child friendly, and always spotless. 4. ABOUT ME : * I am 41 years old, from China, and moved to the USA in 2015. My husband is from Rhode Island, and we have been married since 2008. * We raise our boys in a multi-cultural home. I’m therefore cognizant, and empathetic towards differing views of raising children. I

Hello my name is Destiny! I'm a nursing student and Registered Behavior Technician with over five years of childcare experience. I've cared for children of all ages, from newborns to school-age kids. I love keeping little ones engaged through play, reading, arts and crafts, and outdoor activities. With older kids, I enjoy helping with homework and just being someone they feel comfortable around. I have professional experience in ABA therapy and caregiving, and I've studied Child Development and Developmental Psychology in college. I'm naturally patient, calm, and interactive. It's important to me that every child I care for feels safe and valued. I'm CPR/BLS certified, bilingual in English and Spanish, and currently learning ASL. I have my own car and can help with driving, errands, and special needs care. I'm comfortable with pets in the home. I'd love the opportunity to work with your family!
