“Carolina was great with our two boys ages 8 and 3 years old. We loved her so much we worked together for 5 months while she lived in Los Angeles. We definitely would have continued with her if she was still in LA. She was always on time. Kind, caring, respectful and loving. Helped our little one with potty training, cooked meals and snacks, helped tidy up around the house when children were sleeping, helped with homework, school pick up, great with playtime and helping kids use their imagination and she was also flexible with occasional Date nights. Carolina is one of the best and we are very thankful to have met her. ”

Hi Families! I’m an experienced childcare provider with 12+ years of experience caring for children from infants through the teen years. I’ve also been the primary caregiver for my younger brother since he was 7, giving me a deep understanding of patience, consistency, emotional support, and each child’s individual needs. I’m currently training as a Newborn Care Specialist and Birth & Postpartum Doula while completing my clinical hours toward certification. I especially enjoy supporting families through the newborn and postpartum stages, while also loving care for toddlers, school-age children, and siblings. I bring a calm, nurturing, and dependable presence into every home. I’m happy to help with play, meals, bedtime routines, homework, light tidying, and maintaining a child’s normal routine. I’m open to part-time roles as well as one-time and occasional childcare, including evenings and weekends. I’d love to support a family looking for someone caring, trustworthy, and dependable.

“Jenessa, Ms. Jen, was an amazing caregiver to our kids. She arrived on time and had many activities planned with our children. Ms Jen asked questions to ensure she had the right knowledge and understanding of what and how our children would be cared for. She was very knowledgeable in how to communicate to our kids and provided engaging conversation. We had a wonderful experience with Ms Jen and would definitely look forward to her caregiving services in the future. ”

"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."
