Hi, lovely to meet you! I'm Andrea, but everyone calls me Andi. I moved to Los Angeles about three years ago from my hometown of West Palm Beach, FL, which is where I had returned after completing a glorious three year run of "au pair-ing" in Paris, France. Since moving to LA, I've had the absolute honor and privilege of working with so many wonderful families, some with which I'm still working after meeting during my very first week here back in 2022! Growing up, my mother was the Dean of Early Childhood Education at a high school, where she not only taught her own students to be excellent teachers but also ran her very own preschool. All of her students graduated high school with the necessary credentials to immediately begin work in childcare... Needless to say, working with kids has been a major part of my life since before I can remember. In France, I was not only responsible for the care of my host children for two different families over the course of my time there [note: in French], but I also babysat and tutored for the families' friends! Other than my Parisian childcare work, I've been regularly babysitting since I was 12 years old -- including all of the childcare I've done since moving to LA -- and I've been a classical dance teacher for children of all ages. I can provide excellent references/recommendations from these families and dance studios! Though my Bachelor's degree is in Editing, Writing, and Media, (with a double minor in Political Philosophy and Entrepreneurship), I completed a Post-Baccalaureate in Psychology at UC Berkeley Extension in 2022. I've most recently worked as a Social Media Director for a political nonprofit, and I currently am in the midst of writing my first children's book. My personal interests: I love getting back into a dance studio whenever I get a chance, playing my guitar, writing, doing yoga, and going on big walks with my two year old pug named Binky. I am happy to answer any and all questions -- let me know if you think I would be a good fit for your family. *Please message me for a more accurate measure of availability*

I am Howard University alumnae. I love having an active lifestyle. I’ve been babysitting for the past fourteen years. I teach children from 2-18 years old how to play golf. I love to complete puzzles, play outside, and play with toys. When it comes to deciding one over the other, I would much rather read to your children than have them stare at a television screen. I believe children learn better when they are less reliant on technology for entertainment.

Hello! My name is Victoria and I have years of experience in child care. I am a newborn care specialist and a trained postpartum doula. I have worked as a nanny/babysitter for 15+years, and currently am an arts educator in theatre. I direct children’s plays and help manage a performing arts studio. I have experience with children of all ages. I love yoga, the outdoors, coloring, theatre, singing, dancing, vegetables, and ice cream! It would be a pleasure to meet you and your family :)

Hello! My name is Alley, and I'm a recent UCLA graduate with extensive experience in education and with kids. A little more about me: I have several years of experience working with children. Most recently, I've worked at an after-school program as a coordinator, creating curriculum for elementary aged children focused on expression and creativity. I’ve also worked at a daycare center in the Bay Area, where I gained lots of experience with children in all aspects of their daily care. I was directly responsible for infants as young as 4 months old, and children aged 2-12 years old at this center. In both roles I cared for several children at a time—so, I feel well prepared me for just about any babysitting scenario under the sun! I have also done occasional sitting for families in the Los Angeles area. I really love being a small part of a child’s upbringing and seeing them develop into amazing individuals. It’s been super rewarding. I have used UrbanSitter as an avenue to seek out these opportunities, and have worked with some wonderful families as a result! Besides all that, I have experience as a dance teacher at a children’s summer camp in Northern California, and have done language tutoring in both French and English. Also not bad at cooking kids favorites like mac n cheese or PB&Js. Please feel free to reach out if you're interested in having me work with your family! Always happy to chat or provide references. Alley

Hi! My name is Reem, I am currently a freshman in college but love to do babysitting on the side! I have loads of professional experience with kids of all ages. Some of my experience includes assistant soccer coaching, taking child development in high school, interning at a preschool and working as a special education assistant teacher. I also took care of my special needs brother from time to time! I can do pretty much anything you need like light housekeeping, homework, prepping snacks, taking kids outside, etc. I’m patient, understanding, can work in a fast paced environment and overall loving! Sometimes all a kid needs is someone to talk to or for someone to listen to them, which I am always willing to do!
