Teya $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Teya, and I’ve been working with children 6 years. I’ve cared for children from infancy through age 12, including 3 years of experience working directly with children from infancy through age 4. I especially enjoy working with infants and toddlers and love creating a calm, engaging environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to explore. I enjoy reading books, singing songs, getting on the floor to play, spending time outside, and creating age-appropriate activities that support their development. I also like giving children opportunities to explore independently, practice new skills, and learn through hands-on activities and everyday routines. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and currently taking child development courses to continue growing as an early childhood professional. I’m experienced with diaper changes, bottle feeding, meal and snack prep, potty training support, nap routines, and caring for groups of children. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and communicative, and I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide loving, reliable care for your little one(s).

Booked by 2 families in Gardena, CA

Hi! My name is Alexis and I am 26 years old. I am a UCLA graduate. I am a very easy going, friendly and creative person. I love art and going on adventures! I'm also fluent in Spanish! I love children and have been babysitting children of all ages, (including newborns), all over the South Bay/LA area for the past 12 years. I was a full time nanny to a family of 3 under the age of 3 for 4 years until the family moved out of state. I can provide referrals if requested. I am also the oldest grandchild amongst a very large family so I've grown up with the babysitter role. My parents are teachers as well, so I am good with teaching and helping with homework. I am very comfortable with cooking, driving or taking the children out to play. I drive a 2017 Jeep Cherokee, I am insured by AAA and have full coverage. I can't wait to meet your family!

"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."
