I am a dedicated and compassionate caregiver with over two years of professional experience working in private homes, state facilities, and hospital settings, including Kaiser Permanente. My background spans caring for children of various ages and needs, with a strong emphasis on safety, emotional support, and enrichment. Internationally, I have participated in mission and mentorship programs throughout the Philippines and Thailand, supporting underserved and at-risk children through education, structured activities, and positive guidance. I have supervised classrooms of up to seven children at a time, led mentorship programs for troubled youth, and organized community initiatives such as beach cleanups and educational surf programs that encouraged both discipline and joy. In addition to my caregiving experience, I am currently a holistic chef working with a luxury hotel, where I specialize in creating mindful, nourishing snacks and developing healthy eating habits for children, including those who are selective or hesitant eaters. I enjoy making daily routines fun, engaging, and meaningful while fostering curiosity, confidence, and healthy habits. I am passionate about supporting children’s growth in a way that feels safe, exciting, and nurturing, and I truly value opportunities where I can make a positive impact in a child’s life.
I’m Vera! I’m a mother of a 9 year old kiddo who understands the troubles of finding good childcare. I have experience with all ages of children and elder care. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have!
Hi! My name is Nicole, and I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable college student based in the La Crescenta area. I genuinely enjoy working with kids, helping families, and creating a safe and positive environment. I’m patient, energetic, organized, and easy to communicate with, and I always try to make sure both parents and children feel comfortable and supported. Services I offer include babysitting, nannying, pet care, homework help, light housekeeping, organizing, errands, and helping around the house as needed. Child Care: I have experience caring for children of different ages and personalities, and I enjoy building fun, trusting relationships with kids while still keeping structure and safety a priority. I love doing activities like crafts, games, outdoor play, movie nights, baking, reading, and helping with homework or school projects. I’m also happy to help with routines like meals, bedtime, and keeping kids entertained in a positive way. Some of my strengths include being very patient, emotionally understanding, creative, and attentive. I can also help with tutoring/homework, basic cooking and snacks, and keeping things organized and clean while babysitting. Pet Care: I’m comfortable around a variety of pets and have experience helping care for dogs, cats, and other household pets. I can help with walking, feeding, playing, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m also comfortable with larger dogs and pets that shed. Household Services: In addition to childcare and pet care, I’m happy to assist with light housekeeping tasks such as laundry, tidying up, dishes, organizing, meal prep, errands, and helping keep the home running smoothly. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always willing to help where needed. I’m looking forward to connecting with families and helping out however I can!
Hello parents! I am a dedicated and caring part-time nanny/babysitter in NELA & mom of 3 with 18 years of experience in child care. With my youngest being autistic I have learned so much when it comes to children with challenges and the importance of advocacy. I’m passionate about creating a nurturing and fun environment where children can thrive, learn, and grow. I have experience working with children of various ages, from infants to toddlers and school-age kids. I’m skilled in creating age-appropriate activities, and offering emotional support to children and families. I know first hand how challenging things can be. My goal is to provide peace of mind to parents while offering a safe and enjoyable experience for the little ones in my care. I really enjoy engaging kids in activities that spark their creativity and curiosity. Some of my favorites include arts and crafts, playing outdoor games, reading fun books, baking together, singing and dancing! It's great to see their imaginations come to life! If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely loves working with kids. Wether you need an extra pair of hands to sip on hot some coffee, help with laundry, events, organizing, stare at a wall with no interruptions I’m always happy to help in any way I can. I would love to connect and discuss how I can be of help to your family!
I grew up babysitting neighborhood kids and family friends. I have worked as a gymnastics coach to young children where I helped to build motor skills and core strength with fun activities. I care about creating a positive and stimulating environment for children to encourage growth and imagination. I have taught piano in my own studio and believe in the musical influence in brain development. I am also a proud mom of two wonderful and vibrant girls.

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
