Booked by 1 family in Santa Monica, CA

Hi there! My name is Madison and I've been working with kids since I was 13! Apart from babysitting my own two siblings growing up, I managed an entire Youth Theater Department when I was 16y old. Since studying Theater, Film, & TV at UCLA, I've been teaching/mentoring/looking after children between the ages of 6 weeks-17y old. My primary business is being an Acting coach to kiddos who're looking to pursue a career in the arts, but I have a lot of experience with newborns, formally CPR trained, and tutor in various subjects. Can't wait to meet you! xo Madison

"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."
