I graduated from East LoS Angeles Community college. I received my associates in child development. I just received my bachelors at Cal State LA in Child Development. I used to be a foster mother so I know transitions can be hard for some children. I have two children of my own but they are now in elementary and I am looking to work in taking care of others peoples beautiful children in the process. I am a dog mom as well therefore I don’t mind taking walks around the block with your little one and your fur baby if that is something you’re interested in. Being outdoors and showing children, elderly and pets how beautiful the day is something I enjoy doing. I am familiar with IEP therefore if your child needs extra help by communicating with baby sign language I can help with that. The one thing I like to mention is I know my alphabet in 3 different languages and I find it a fun thing to teach children. Working on cognitive, gros motor and fine motor skills is also an important factor for me that I would love to implement with your child if you are interested. 😊

I keep my calendar updated! Quick facts! I live in Mid City but always glad to commute if needed. Allergic to cats, but if I take a claritin before I'm fine, just please let me know if you have them so I can prepare! It makes a huge difference for me. :') Joined Urban Sitter in college and built very long relationships. I work a 9-5 but have flexibility working remotely! Experience: I've been on Urban Sitter for almost 10 years. 😱 Additionally, I have three nephews that are now aged 8, 6 and 10 months. Been a part of every (brick by brick) step for all three of them, and it's been a joy. I really enjoy watching kids grow, especially at 4-6 months when they start getting smiley and laugh-y. Lots of infant and tollder experience...bathing, feeding (formula, frozen breastmilk, solids) naps, bedtime, diapers... When it comes to rules/discipline, I'll honor your requests (screen time, homework, activities, etc). Hopefully needless to say am not physical... when it comes to discipline I'll usually go for avoiding any stressful triggers, distracting, talking through feelings, etc. More about me... in my free time I like to watch movies, read, and practice piano! Currently in a data career pivot where I’m working pretty hard on my laptop during the week, with the benefits of being flexible and remote, and I've really been enjoying it.

“Vanessa’s skill with kids is unmatched - she made an instant connection with my 4yo daughter when they met for the first time on a trip we took to Mexico City. Her patience, tenderness and creativity was a marvel to witness, and she gracefully supported my little one’s occasional meltdowns. My daughter is so excited for the next time she gets to play with auntie Vanessa!”

Hi! I’m Ashly, a 19-year-old babysitter with 5+ years of experience working with kids from 4 months to 10 years old. I’m currently studying Early Childhood Education at LACC with a focus on Montessori and Reggio Emilia approaches. I really believe in letting kids learn through creativity and play. I started babysitting when I was 13 and have always loved working with children. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I also work weekday mornings at My Gym, where I help run kids’ fitness classes. I know some basic gymnastics skills and can definitely teach your little ones a few fun moves if they’re interested! I don’t drive yet, but I have reliable transportation and I’m currently training to get my license. I’m super dependable, patient, and always happy to help with routines, learning, or just keeping your kids busy and safe. 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."
