Hi Im Michelle but I prefer to go by Mitchie. I've been working and volunteering with kids since I was about 12 years old. I work part time at a preschool and I love kids and love watching them grow and interacting with them. I'm willing to be a babysitter in hotels and what not. If you live close to Disneyland I am willing to watch the kids in the hotel room or even go around Disneyland with you to help you out with the little ones :) CPR Certified. Traveling isn’t a problem if you live long distance from me.

Hi! I’m a caring, dependable, and energetic person who genuinely loves spending time with kids! 💛 I have an education in Child Development and experience working with children in my community and around the world, including children’s homes in India and Africa. These experiences have taught me how important it is to make every child feel safe, valued, and understood. I love getting to know each child’s personality and finding ways to make our time together fun, whether we’re playing, crafting, reading, exploring, or just being silly! 😊 My goal is for your kids to feel happy and cared for while you have peace of mind.

Hi! I’m currently a senior at California State University, Fullerton (CSUF), and I have a genuine passion for caring for children and animals! I’m a responsible, patient, and compassionate person who loves helping others and creating a safe, fun, and positive environment. I have over 5 years of experience working with children, including children with autism and different developmental and behavioral needs. Through my experience, I’ve learned the importance of patience, understanding, communication, and adapting to each child’s unique personality and needs. I enjoy keeping children engaged through fun activities, educational games, arts and crafts, and helping with homework. I love being able to make a positive difference in a child’s day while giving parents peace of mind knowing their little ones are in caring hands. I’m also a huge animal lover and have been caring for pets since I was young! I have experience looking after dogs of different ages, including senior pets who may need extra attention, patience, and medication. Whether it’s going on walks, feeding, playing, or simply giving them lots of love and attention, I always treat every pet as if they were my own. In addition to childcare and pet care, I’m happy to help with light household tasks, keeping spaces tidy, and maintaining a comfortable and organized environment. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your children, pets, and home. My goal is to provide dependable, loving, and attentive care while making your life a little easier. I look forward to meeting you and 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."
