Booked by 4 families in Pico Rivera, CA

Hi! I'm Darya - an international student from Belarus. I have lived in the US for 4 years, and before UrbanSitter I cared for pets (Rover.com) and worked as a barista at Universal Studios. Back at home, I spent more than 10 years caring for my younger cousins. So I can be relied upon with kids of all ages from 3 to 15 :) I would describe myself as a cheerful and calm person, open to feedback and willing to make friends with kids. As for my availability, right now I am pretty much always free for several months! Please reach out if you need any of the following: babysitter, petsitter, household assistant. 👼🏻 I can cook, clean, run errands, create fun activities for kids, sing, draw, study and play with them. 🦮 I am also experienced in walking dogs and watching cats. Let me know if you have any further questions and I hope to meet you soon ❤️

Darya responded quick our communication and was punctual on the day of. She is kind, and my son (5 y) loved her!!! We will definitely use her services again and highly recommend ☺️

Hello! I bring decades of experience to your family as I am a mother, and I babysit my nieces and nephews. I am well versed in STEM-based teaching curriculum and arts-based learning. I hold a UCLA degree and am fully fluent in English and Spanish. I am also a trained birth doula to support new parents. I also successfully raised my son, who is now in college. Aside from babysitting, I am willing to run errands and do your family’s grocery shopping. I am community-minded and recently won an award from the LA County for Human Relations - LA vs Hate project, I love to laugh, teach children how to read, write and do crafts and art projects. I can also teach your children some basic capoeira moves. I am willing to commute kids to school and prepare healthy meals. I also love being around elders from your family and am willing to run errands for them as well. Feel free to reach out and I’d be happy to send you my resume.

Booked by 2 families in Pico Rivera, CA

Hello there! My name is Monique and I'm currently based out of Silverlake. I am offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I have around 4 years of experience with childcare. I was a swim instructor at my local pool and babysat during my free time throughout high school. More recently, I have frequently babysit my 2-year-old nephew to give my sister a little free time. I graduated from the University of Southern California last year and speak English and Spanish. I also have a 3-year-old miniature schnauzer, so I am familiar with caring for puppies and dogs. I can work most evenings, weekends, and early mornings before 8. Please feel free to reach out :)

I use Monique for help with housekeeping and she is incredibly trustworthy, kind, and her attention to detail is exactly what I need!

Hi! My name is Betsy, and I’m 22 years old. I’m currently a graduate student at California State University, Long Beach, pursuing a Master’s in Social Work. As an older sibling and cousin in my family, I’ve always loved caring for and supporting kids of all ages. I’ve worked as a youth instructor for a third-grade class and most recently served as a social work intern at an elementary school, where I supported students' mental health using play therapy techniques. I’m passionate about creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children, and I’d love the opportunity to support your family!

Betsy was warm & friendly.
