Hi - My name is Valery. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!). I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own nephews and younger siblings and am comfortable with child care.

Booked by 1 family in La Mesa, CA

Hi! My name is Marvin! I currently work as a Behavior Interventionist with hands-on experience supporting children across developmental stages and needs, from toddlers to teens, neurodivergent to gifted. I’m offering child care, tutoring, and household help. I’ve been caring for kids since I was young. I'm the oldest of four siblings and have experience with newborns, toddlers, school-aged children, and teens. I’ve worked as a Writing Consultant and tutor, helping students with everything from reading to college essays. I’m comfortable with homework help, emotional regulation, and creating calm, structured routines. I’ve worked in classrooms, homes, and one-on-one settings, and I adapt easily to each child’s personality and needs. Whether your child is shy, energetic, neurodivergent, or just needs a little extra support, I show up with patience, clarity, and care. I’m happy to help with light cleaning, errands, and pet care. While I don’t have formal experience with animals, I’m gentle, reliable, and open to learning your pet’s routine.

Fulltime Boy/Girl mom while chasing a dream to being a future law enforcement officer, and aspiring first responder. Completed EMT school & currently in the process to start law enforcement. As a full-time mom, I’ve developed strong caregiving skills through providing a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment for my children. I’m compassionate, patient, dependable, and highly organized. I communicate effectively, remain calm under pressure, and adapt quickly to changing situations. Caring for my family has strengthened my ability to multitask, solve problems, and put others’ well-being first—qualities that I believe make me a dedicated and capable caregiver.

"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."
