Mother of four with years of hands-on experience caring for children from infants to teens often at different stages all at once. I’ve also cared for my young grandnephew and truly enjoy engaging with kids through play, learning, and daily routines. I can help with homework, read books and prepare meals. Fluent in Spanish, I’m happy to speak with children or introduce them to the language in a fun, casual way. Available most weekends and for late-night care.
Hello - My name is Jurea and my pride and joy is my family. My husband and I have two beautiful adult children. I am also the grandmother of a darling baby girl. She’s my little heartbeat. I love babies, children and fur babies.🐶 Recently, I have had the wonderful experience of caring for a baby from the tender age of six weeks. He is now a happy, fun-loving, inquisitive 18 month old and I am proud to have been a part of his early life. I do have many years of experience of successfully raising my own children, and now I have my sweet granddaughter that I care for on a part-time basis. I feel comfortable caring for babies including newborns and children, and doing the things that may go along with that at times; playing with them, reading to them, feeding, putting down for naps, picking up and dropping off and helping with light chores. I offer responsibility, reliability and all with a smile.😊 I have a certification in Basic Adult & Child CPR and an excellent driving record.
My name is Fatima. I am currently a graduate student studying chiropractic. I have several years of childcare experience, including caring for my younger brother, who is now 8 years old. I have been responsible for his care since infancy, which has helped me develop strong skills in supervision, patience, and creating a safe, supportive environment. I also have experience working with children as a youth climbing instructor for several years during my undergraduate studies. This role strengthened my ability to communicate effectively, ensure safety, and engage children in a positive and encouraging way. I am detail-oriented and take pride in maintaining a clean and organized home. In addition, I have experience working in a kitchen, which has strengthened my ability to prepare meals, stay organized, and manage multiple tasks efficiently.
Hi, my name is Elysia, and I am currently a senior at UCLA. I have a passion for working with children and serving our youth in any way I can. Kids truly bring so much joy to life, and I love connecting with them while supporting their growth, confidence, and creativity. I hope to not only be a caregiver, but also a positive mentor and role model for the children I work with. I have hands on experience working at the Boys & Girls Club, where I formulated weekly lesson plans that encouraged student participation through interactive activities and creative projects. I focused fun and engaging learning experiences while fostering an environment where children felt safe to express themselves and develop critical thinking skills. Creating a supportive and welcoming space was always my top priority. Through this role, I demonstrated strong leadership and mentorship by guiding students in personal growth, helping them set attainable goals, and motivating them through positive reinforcement and recognition of their accomplishments. This approach helped increase their self confidence and enthusiasm toward both academics and daily life. I also implemented structured daily routines to provide consistency, while maintaining a warm, caring, and positive attitude when working with both individuals and groups of children. Overall, I strive to ensure a safe, nurturing, and encouraging environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and inspired to be their best selves. I truly love working with kids and feel grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact in their lives.

"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."
