Hi! My name is Cristina E., and I would love the opportunity to care for your children. I have over 16 years of experience working with children in both general education and special education settings through Los Angeles Unified School District. I have worked as both an instructional assistant and a special education teacher, giving me experience supporting children of all ages, abilities, and personalities. I am currently pursuing my teaching credential in History education. As both an educator and a parent, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and dependable. I adopted my 4-year-old nephew two years ago, which has made childcare even more meaningful to me. Safety is always my top priority, while also making sure children feel supported, engaged, and comfortable. I enjoy helping with homework, planning fun and educational activities, and creating a positive environment where children can learn, laugh, and feel safe. My playful and caring personality helps me connect easily with kids from all backgrounds. I am bilingual, have reliable transportation, and a valid driver’s license. Thank you for considering me — I would be honored to support your family! Best, Cristina E.

“Cristina was absolutely wonderful. From our first conversation, she was professional, responsive, and thoughtful. She took the time to get to know my son beforehand and made me feel completely comfortable as a parent. She arrived on time, communicated throughout the day, and was engaging, patient, and attentive with my 4 yr old son. It was clear she genuinely enjoys working with children and understands how to connect with them through play, conversation, and activities. As a single dad, trust and reliability are incredibly important to me, and Cristina exceeded my expectations. I would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to other families looking for dependable, caring childcare.”

Booked by 7 families in Torrance, CA

Hi there! My name is Elizabeth and I currently work at a school with children from ages 5yrs to 16yrs. I’ve been working there for over 20 years. I also used to have my own family child care and would care for children ages newborns and up. I opened up my own family child care because I enjoy working with children. My passion is making children happy and seeing them smile. I enjoy various outdoor activity including painting, dancing, singing, etc. I’ve worked at a senior center and have cared for senior family members. I enjoy helping others!

“Elizabeth was able to jump right in and take in our hurried instructions for bedtime while we had to run out the door. She let us know how the kids were doing during the next few hours and was professional, courteous, and very skilled. She was not phased by our kids not wanting to have a babysitter and taking a while to warm up. ”

"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."
