My name is Kam, aged 60, living in Monterey Park. With 2 sons (aged 23 & 21), I was social-work & special education trained teacher in Hong Kong for 10 years, working with special-need children & teenage girls with family, behavioral & emotional problems. After immigrating to USA, I've been serving in church for kids from babies up to elementary schools for over 20 years. I’ve been a paid babysitter for kids from babies to 5-years old for 7 years. With patience, knowledge & skills, caring & loving heart, I love working with kids. I'll strive to provide a safe, fun, enjoyable environment, which your kid will grow happily.

Hi! My name is Marianna. I am offering child care and household services. I enjoy working with kids. Before coming back to school full time I worked with KIPP as an after school instructor for elementary and middle school students. At KIPP some of my favorite activities to do with the kids included arts and crafts and fun outdoor activities! I am also available for household duties such as cooking, cleaning, and running errands.
Claire $25 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I’ve been a nanny for many wonderful families for 8 years now. I have primarily worked with children under 5 but have experience with all ages. I’m extremely passionate about children learning through play and exploration with limited screen time. This can be anything from imagination games to more structured academic play. I have a degree in theater from the Liverpool Institute for performing arts where I learned a great appreciation for a nice walk doing wonders for the soul. I am currently with a family with two boys three days out of the week but hoping to fill in a few more hours. I am CPR certified with a clean driving record.

"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."
