Hello families! During the day, I am a Substitute Teacher for K-12 charter schools. In addition, I am a Tutor specializing in ESL, ELA and Reading Comprehention. I have a Master's degree in Teaching English as a Foreign Language and I've served in the Peace Corps as a TEFL Teacher and Trainer (Ukraine, 2[removed], and Uzbekistan 2002-2005. ) I am a very caring, fun and creative caregiver who thinks outside of the box! I like to create fun activities to keep the kids busy and engaged. Not a big fan of Tech for play or entertainment! I prefer Reading books/Storytelling, Arts & Crafts, Games, Outdoor Play, Music & Movement for the little ones (play a little bit of guitar), and Cooking. Lastly, I like helping out with pets and have experience with Seniors as well!

Vickie has been our go-to person for house/dog sitting for approximately 15 years. She is responsible, reliable, clean, and trustworthy with kids and fur-babies. She has a vast experience with kids, typical and special needs, which is how we first came to know Vickie. Taking care of our dog was yet another positive and rewarding experience. We know call Vickie our good friend. We highly recommend her for Urban Sitters.

Hi. I’m Cameron, an athlete and attend Valencia High School. I have a natural love and care for children. I’ve been taking care of kids from the ages of newborn to 10 years old for several years. I have regularly cared for many infants for local families in Santa Clarita and can provide references.

I have taken care of children as after school care , weekends and also nighttime events when parents are out. Since I am a competive athlete as a a softball player and a former equestrian horse jumper, I have a high level of responsibility and naturally do the right thing to care for the children under my watch. I look forward to meeting you and your kids soon!

Booked by 1 family in Palmdale, CA

Hi!! My name is Ashley, I am a business major in college. I have had lots of experience in child care, being one of the oldest of many cousins and being an auntie, as well as working with children ages 3-10 at my church. I genuinely enjoy helping them learn, play, and grow. I find it rewarding to be a positive influence in their lives, watching them develop new skills and explore the world around them. Kids are full of curiosity and creativity, and I enjoy engaging with them through fun activities and meaningful conversations. Additionally, I find working with children to be both fulfilling and energizing, as it allows me to be patient, caring, and responsible while creating a safe and happy environment for them.
