Hi Im Kaitlin! Im a local nanny with 12 years of experience. I am originally from Ojai, CA, where I grew up on a farm and was homeschool through out high school. I have a background in child development, 3 years of daycare experience, and have worked with newborns, toddlers, twins, and children with special needs. I’m calm, organized, and playful, with a strong understanding of the Montessori approach. I love nanny positions that allow for adventures, outings, and hands-on learning, and I often work as an adventure nanny, especially during the summer. I’m also great with animals and happy to assist with pet sitting & care. I’m dependable, nurturing, and passionate about creating a safe, enriching environment for children to thrive.

“Kaitlyn watched my son when he was 3-5 months old and she was fabulous. She took him on adventures and I knew he was always well cared for.”

Kyle $30 per hour for 1 child

Dear Team, With over 21 years of experience in early childhood education, my passion for watching children grow and develop has only deepened. My journey began by volunteering at my church’s Vacation Bible School, where the children affectionately referred to me as "Mr. Kyle." This experience ignited my love for being involved in their learning. At Fullerton College, I immersed myself in child development courses, earning my Associate's Degree and Childhood Teacher Certificate while gaining hands-on experience at the campus preschool. After a few years in various preschools, I returned to complete my Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education at Pacific Oaks College. This blend of education and practical experience has allowed me to create fun and supportive environments where children can thrive. I genuinely enjoy helping children discover new skills and reach their potential. I would love the opportunity to bring my experience and enthusiasm to your team. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to discussing how I can contribute to making your school a place where both teachers and parents feel confident knowing their children are in good hands.

"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."
