Hello, my name is Roksanda. I’m a responsible, reliable, and flexible nanny with years of childcare experience. I’m currently working as a substitute teacher for LAUSD. I have First Aid and CPR certifications. I’m a non-smoker and have a clean driving record. I enjoy working with children, and am committed to promoting children’s physical, mental, and emotional development in collaboration with parents. I believe I’m a great fit for caring for your child as I am patient, caring, and compassionate. Thank you

Roksanda was fantastic with our two kids. They enjoyed engaging in activities with her. She was on time and communicative and went above and beyond, washing dishes and folding laundry when she wasn't asked to.

Hello! My name is Catherine, and I’m so excited to be here! I’ve been a childcare, senior care, and pet care provider for over a decade, and I believe that a caregiver is most effective when they act as a partner to the family, which is why I see us as a team in supporting your family member/s in good communication, attentiveness, and safety. Although I do not have as many reviews as others, as I am new to UrbanSitter, I am not new to caregiving, and I am qualified. I invite you to have a meet & greet, either by phone, text, virtual, or in-person, to see if I fit your agenda. *My approach is rooted in positivity, kindness, trustworthiness, and a calm demeanor, thereby creating an atmosphere of awareness and a safe space. *Lastly, I am happy to transport (excellent driving record), do errands, light housework, laundry, prepare meals/snacks, activities, and tutor homework. Experience: Day Care Center-11 years Independent Caregiver/Baby Sitter-8 years Tutor Online-7 years (Reading/English/Writing) Psychology Degree-Online Counselor/Coach for Couples & Self-improvement CPR Certified *Baby Sitting, Childcare, Tutor, Pet Care, Special Needs Children.

Catherine is one of those rare people you can always count on. She’s trustworthy, gentle, genuinely kind-hearted and her reliability gives such peace of mind as a babysitter. I would never hesitate to hire her or recommend her.

Hi, I’m Sonia I have a Bachelor’s degree in Child and Adolescent Development with a focus on Elementary Teaching at San Francisco State University. I’ve been working toward a career in education for over five years, and I truly enjoy supporting children as they learn and grow. I have strong hands-on experience working with infants and young children, and I’m especially confident in caring for babies and supporting their early development. I’ve worked as a lead teacher in an infant classroom, where I was responsible for maintaining routines, supporting feeding and diapering, soothing, and creating a calm, safe, and nurturing environment. Along with my infant experience, I’ve also worked with children up to age five and as a substitute teacher in a variety of classroom settings, which has helped me adapt to different needs and personalities. In my current role as a teacher, I create engaging and supportive environments where children feel comfortable exploring and learning. I enjoy activities like sensory play, reading, music, and simple crafts that support early development in a fun and meaningful way. I value clear communication with families and believe every child deserves patience, attention, and care. I’m also fluent in Spanish, which allows me to connect with a wider range of families. Outside of work, I love spending time with animals and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes.

Booked by 2 families in Sun Valley, CA

Hi, my name is Cynthia! I have been working with children for about proximately the last 5 years. I started by watching my nieces and nephews before taking care of my friends kids. I usually babysit children at ages 1-8 but I am willing to babysit kids a little bit older. While I do not own a car, or know how to drive one, but I do have my own means of transportation to arrive on time. I can even do light housework and do not mind animals being around.

Cynthia has been amazing prompt and very helpful with my little one and our household. She pays attention always on time and my daughter enjoys time with her.
