Silvia 3 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Lancaster, CA

Hi!! My name is Silvia and I’m a bilingual (English & Spanish) artist and musician with a background in education and child development. I'm offering child care, senior care and household services. I truly enjoy caring for children and have experience with babies, toddlers, and older kids. I’ve worked as a music teacher and songwriting coach for kids and I love bringing creativity and play into my time with them whether it’s singing songs, doing crafts or helping with homework. I'm good at cooking and I also have great skills at driving. I’m responsible, caring and energetic, and I’m happy to help with school pick-ups, meal prep, light cleaning or bedtime routines. I'm pretty sure we will have fun together! I’ve also cared for my own grandparents and I'm comfortable supporting seniors with daily tasks, companionship or errands. I’m very patient and respectful and love listening to their stories. I’m pet-friendly and have experience taking care of dogs and cats. I'll be happy to adapt to your family’s unique needs.

“Silvia was early and made us feel so comfortable. She didn’t have too much to do with the baby asleep, but I’m sure she’d be great if he needed her!”

Booked by 1 family in Lancaster, CA

Hi families! My name is Maria, and I am a dedicated and passionate caregiver with over 10 years of professional experience supporting children of all ages, from infants to 17-year-olds. I pride myself on being deeply attentive, detail-oriented, and safety-conscious while creating a lively and nurturing environment. I love keeping kids engaged through interactive play, reading together, and preparing healthy, homemade meals. Beyond my extensive general childcare background, I also bring valuable personal and hands-on experience caring for individuals with special needs. Growing up with a sister on the autism spectrum has equipped me with a unique understanding, patience, and empathy for children with diverse developmental abilities. At the core of my caregiving philosophy is compassion. I believe in leading with an open heart and treating every child entrusted to my care as if they were my own. Whether your little ones need help with homework, an energetic play partner, or specialized care, I am here to provide a safe, joyful, and supportive space for them to thrive. I look forward to meeting your family!

I’m patient, attentive, and always mindful of each child’s unique needs and personality. I have experience working closely with private families, maintaining clear communication, respecting household routines, and providing reliable, consistent care. I’m known for being trustworthy, organized, and proactive, and I take pride in building strong relationships with both children and parents.

"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."
