Hi! My name is Emma, I have earned my Associate degree in Early Childhood Education at Pasadena City College in June 2025. I am currently studying Early Childhood Studies at Cal Poly Pomona, and I am also halfway through my AMI Montessori training program. These experiences are helping me deepen my understanding of child development and early education. I’m offering child care services and have experience working with children from 6 months to 10 years old. I’ve been babysitting since I was 17, and I truly love caring for young children, supporting their development, and creating fun, engaging experiences for them. As the oldest of four sisters, I’ve always been around little ones and naturally took on a caregiving role from a young age. It definitely sparked my love for working with children and helped shape who I am today—patient, nurturing, and always ready to help. I am CPR and First Aid certified (as of January 2025), and I’ve also observed Montessori classrooms, so I’m familiar with child-led learning and respectful caregiving approaches. I’m originally from France and speak both French and English fluently. Some of my favorite things to do with kids include baking, arts and crafts, outdoor play, and helping with homework or reading. I’m creative, patient, and very reliable, and I always aim to create a safe and joyful environment for children to grow. Please feel free to reach out if you’d like to learn more or schedule a time to chat. I’d love to meet you and your little one(s)!
Hi! My name is Jacqueline, but you can call me Jackie or Jax. Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. I consider it my backyard and love exploring its ever-changing face. I have been a mother's helper since I was 12, and at 16, I had the honor of babysitting and nannying alone. People may call me a people pleaser, but I truly enjoy being part of the village and helping people and animals, any which way. It has always been fulfilling to me. Life gets super busy, so an extra helping hand doesn't hurt anyone. I am currently at Santa Monica College pursuing a nursing degree. Thanks for taking the time to read about me, and I look forward to working with you.
“Jax has been an incredible person to have around my son. She has such positive energy and is so creative with activities. I would recommend her to any friend or stranger. She is always reliable and easy to communicate with. In addition, she is always great around our dog. My son has so much fun with her and she really encourages him to be independent and try things.”
Hello. I work for an elementary school, 10+ years. Babysat for 2 families before working for a school, volunteered at preschool when my kids were attending there. That’s when I decided to work with kids. I’m very comfortable with watching pets as well. I have two children, 23 and 18 year olds. They’re both grown up which is why I am expanding my joy of working with children and pets on my spare time.

"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."
