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.
My name is Shay, and I’ve spent over 10 years caring for children of all ages—from newborns to teenagers—both in the U.S. and overseas. I’ve taught English through my church, helped care for children within my own family, and supported new mothers as they adjusted after welcoming their babies. I’m a caring, patient, and reliable babysitter who loves creating a safe, calm environment for children. I’m attentive, nurturing, and respectful of family routines, and I’m happy to help with playtime, meals, and light tidying. I take children’s safety and parents’ trust very seriously and am open to occasional or regular babysitting.
“I have observed Shay caring for children ranging from infants to teens. She has generously volunteered her time to care for pastors’ children during their busy schedules. Shay is well-loved by the children and consistently welcomes them with warmth, kindness, and a positive demeanor. As a parent of an infant myself, I have personally experienced her attentiveness—when Shay babysits for me, she takes immediate, proactive care of my child, allowing me to focus fully on my work with confidence and peace of mind. I confidently recommend Shay to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate babysitter.”
During the last few years of my life, I have babysat my own family and worked at an elementary school. I worked with grade levels k-3. I worked as a teachers assistant on my days that I didn’t have work. I worked and still do work at chilis. Since I love working with kids and taking care of kids inside and outside of school I want to put my experience to work and help out those who need it. I love taking care of any family friends children or my cousins. Anything you need I can be there for you😊.

Hi, I'm Maria! I have 10+ years of experience working with children, starting with family and growing through trusted referrals. I'm warm, patient, and reliable, and I love keeping kids engaged through crafts, outdoor play, reading, and creative activities while maintaining structure with routines like meals, homework, and bedtime. I'm a UCLA graduate and have worked as a behavioral technician with children on the autism spectrum, which has made me adaptable, attentive, and supportive of each child's unique needs. I'm comfortable with school drop-offs/pick-ups, light household tasks, and pets. I have reliable transportation and always prioritize safety, communication, and creating a positive environment for both kids and parents. I am CPR CERTIFIED.

"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."
