Hi! I’m Lucy! I recently graduated from Colorado State University, where I earned my bachelor’s degree in Communication Studies. I have several years of childcare experience, including nannying for two years throughout college, babysitting throughout high school, and working as a summer camp counselor and lifeguard. I’ve cared for children of a variety of ages, including babies and young children, and I’m also Red Cross CPR certified. I’ve always genuinely loved working with kids. Growing up, I was lucky to have nannies who became such special people in my life, and that has really shaped the kind of caregiver I try to be. I want kids to feel safe and comfortable with me while also creating a fun, loving, friendship-like relationship with them. I’m dependable, patient, nurturing, and very comfortable becoming part of a family’s everyday routine. I’m happy to help with everything from playtime, walks and activities to meals, naps, bedtime routines, school pickups, and light household tasks related to the kids. I also love animals, so I’m more than comfortable in homes with pets! My goal is always to be someone both the children and parents genuinely trust and feel comfortable having around.

Hello! My name is MaryJo, but the little ones call me JoJo! ❤️ I am a proud mother of three wonderful young men and have over 25 years of childcare experience. I truly love working with children/ infants and creating a safe, happy, loving, and nurturing environment where they can learn, grow, and have fun. I enjoy swimming, trips to the park, bicycle rides, reading, arts and crafts, coloring, walks, cooking, sports, music, dancing, and imaginative play. I am bilingual (English/Spanish), fully vaccinated (COVID & Flu), comfortable with pets, and have an impeccable driving record. I am also a certified swimming instructor at the La Crescenta–La Cañada YMCA. I consider myself kind, patient, loving, reliable, punctual, responsible, organized, and fun! I genuinely love what I do and take great pride in caring for every child/ infant as if they were part of my own family. Please take a moment to check out my reviews. I would love the opportunity to meet your family! Thank you! MaryJo (JoJo) ❤️

“Jojo was so kind, warm, patient and fun! She’s a ray of sunshine 🌞 She swept my kids off their feet within the first half hour of meeting them and they can be quite shy and reserved with new people, especially my 15 month old son. She’s a role model for what a caregiver should be like, I for sure learnt something from her in the little time that I spent just watching her with my kids. Absolute superstar sitter - thanks Jojo, see you next time we’re in LA! ”

Hi Parents! It’s lovely to meet you! You may notice a bit of a gap in my reviews because I’ve spent the past couple of years working long-term with a family, and throughout my childcare career I’ve also been fortunate to be hired by repeat families and through word of mouth. I’d be happy to provide a reference! I’m now available to connect with new families in LA for both full-time and part-time opportunities. I’m an experienced nanny and childcare provider originally from New York City. I grew up taking care of kids and being around kids all the time because of my very fertile family haha. I knew how to change a diaper since I was 10 years old! I have experience with children of all ages, from newborns through pre-teens, including infants, siblings, and overnight/vacation care. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each child’s personality, interests, and routine. I’m patient, attentive, understanding, and responsible, while also believing that childcare should be fun! I’m happy to get down on the floor and play, explore a museum, help with homework, or come up with something creative to do together. I received my B.S. in Advertising and Marketing Communications from FIT, minoring in English. In my spare time, I enjoy writing poetry, reading, watching films, playing volleyball, working out, being active, and spending time in nature. I’m a big proponent of laughter and imagination, and my working style balances fun with safety. I’m comfortable taking initiative and adapting when plans change. My goal is always to keep children safe, happy, engaged, and comfortable while giving parents peace of mind. Depending on the family’s needs, I can help with: - School and activity pickups - Homework and academic support - Snacks and meals, including cooking - Playtime, parks, museums, and outings - Bath time and bedtime routines - Diapering and infant care - Overnight and vacation care - Tidying and laundry related to the children. Happy to discuss further needs outside of this. I also have experience with assistant work and household management, and I’m happy to discuss your family’s specific needs and how I can help make things run smoothly. I’m Red Cross CPR certified and have First Aid training. Booking note: For bookings ending at or after 8 PM, transportation home will be required.

“Thanks again!”

Hello families! My name is Mary, and I have over 15 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to school-aged children. I am CPR and First Aid certified, TrustLine registered, and have excellent references from families I have worked with throughout the years. I am a loving, patient, reliable, and energetic caregiver who truly enjoys helping children learn, grow, and have fun in a safe environment. I enjoy planning educational activities, arts and crafts, reading, outdoor adventures, and age-appropriate learning experiences that keep children engaged and happy. I am currently looking for a wonderful family to work with and would love the opportunity to become a trusted part of your child’s life.

“We have used Mary’s babysitting services for the past couple of years, and we have been extremely happy with her. We still use her whenever we attend weddings, birthday parties, date nights, or other special events because we know our child is in safe and caring hands. Mary loves doing fun and engaging activities with children and always keeps them active, happy, and entertained. She is trustworthy, dependable, and always on time. I would highly recommend Mary’s services to any family looking for a babysitter or full-time nanny. She is caring, responsible, and wonderful with children. You will not be disappointed. Sincerely, Ani”

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. 😊

"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."
