I am a mother of two daughters, ages 22, and 13, and my years of parenting have helped me develop excellent communication, problem-solving, organizational, and time-management skills. I am responsible, trustworthy, dependable, and attentive to individual needs. Whether caring for children, pets, or assisting families, I am committed to providing reliable support with patience, kindness, and compassion. In addition to my experience as a mother, I have volunteered and worked at an animal shelter, where I gained valuable experience caring for animals and understanding their unique needs. One of my greatest strengths is my ability to connect with both people and animals, creating a safe, comfortable, and positive environment. I take pride in my strong sense of responsibility and dedication to providing attentive, high-quality care. My goal is always to give families peace of mind, knowing their loved ones and pets are receiving the highest level of care, attention, and respect.
Hi, I'm Fiona. I'm from the UK but I've been living in the US for 7 years. I’m offering child care and senior care. I have been working with children for over 20 years in many different settings. I've taught music and dance classes to mums with little ones, taught dance in Primary Schools, been a full time nanny to a beautiful baby boy from 3 months until he was 2. I cared for a little girl from the age of 3-5. We loved baking together and going on outside adventures. More recently I was the director of a thriving children's ministry for a church. I was in charge of the welfare, curriculum programming and entertainment of over 150 children between the ages of 0-11 every Sunday. This included a nursery. I was in this role for 5 years. I have an undergraduate degree in Dance, and a Masters in Writing for Children from the University of Winchester, UK. Right now, I work for an organization where I write Bible studies for children who struggle with reading, helping them to engage in creative ways. I've also taught seated dance classes in senior homes across London. I spearheaded and intergenerational project called "Connecting the Generations", bringing little ones and seniors together through music and movement. I love to sing, dance, bake, read stories, and spend time outside. I aim to see those in my care thrive. I always bring approachability, warmth, patience, and fun when I'm looking after kids and seniors.
Hi! My name is Nathany, and I’m originally from Brazil. I’ve been working as a nanny and babysitter in Los Angeles, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and supporting families. I have experience caring for children of different ages, from babies and toddlers to school age kids. I’m comfortable with playtime, meals, diaper changes, bedtime routines, and keeping kids engaged with fun and creative activities. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks related to the children. Families describe me as patient, responsible, organized, and dependable. I understand how important it’s to trust the person caring for your children, and I always do my best to create a safe, caring, and positive environment. I’m looking for a long-term family, but I’m also available for occasional babysitting. I look forward to meeting new families and becoming someone both parents and kids feel comfortable with!
Hi, my name is Vanessa, and I look forward to meeting you! I recently graduated from UCLA and currently work part-time on weekends. I am interested in providing baby and childcare services, as well as occasional pet care. I have been babysitting since my teenage years. My knowledge of baby care is still fresh, especially since my baby niece is turning two. While it may seem easy, having an extra hand is always helpful. I possess a driver's license and own a car, which has allowed me to commute from residential areas to highways. I am comfortable with pickups and drop-offs, and I'm also okay with running quick, easy errands. NOTE: I am also open to pet and house-sitting
My name is Nancy. I am the first born daughter of 8 children. I’ve been helping my mom take care of my siblings which have built the foundation of my profession. I’m currently a preschool teacher and have previous experience with being a substitute teacher for about 6 years. Through substituting, I was able to obtain a lot of my professional experience. I’ve been to a vast amount of daycares where I got to see and learn different learning styles in children as well as different approaches to learning and teaching children to achieve their milestones. I’ve been in a classroom where I’ve had to potty train and can say I was able to learn a few techniques. I’ve also been “long-term” in some sites where I was able to grow a bond with some of the children and celebrate their success. I do have a sibling with Asperger’s autism who is 15, so I have some experience with children on the spectrum.

"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."
