I have been a high school English teacher for seven years, serving public and private school communities. I received my education in English Literature from Biola University, with specialized study at Oxford University, and attended Humboldt State University for my teaching credentialing program. While most of my teaching experience is with high school students, I have also been a care taker for younger children as well. Really, I just think all kids are pretty goofy and great! And as a teacher, getting to see their personalities come out and alive has been the best part of my job. I look forward to serving your family!
Hello hope your day is awesome! You can call me Loren. I’m fluent in English and Tagalog (Philippine language). I can do simple cooking/baking, run errands and help with homework, potty training assistance or diapering, meal prep and feeding. I have three children and they’re all adults now. I’ve dedicated years of volunteering time at a church nursery. I have a reliable transportation. In the past, I’ve cared for all sorts of animals (dogs, cats, birds, turtles, fish to name some) and plants. In my spare time, I like doing arts, crafts, jewelries and other handiworks. I like to organize and I’m detail oriented. I love to sing and I also love nature, specially the beach. I used to work as a Microbiologist for many years.
hi - i am currently a student at santa monica college and i am offering child care as well as pet care services. I have always enjoyed babysitting and watching children. I love how their creative minds work and think. I find children to be an important part of society. Through every mess and mistake , i will be patient and gentle with them. Children respond well with kindness and being well understood. I would watch two children from time to time and they were four and seven. They enjoyed how i had interacted with them as i was constantly playing with them whether it was barbie or if we were mermaids in the ocean. When you are a child your mind will believe anything and i want to help be the magic in your childs life. I am a very sweet and kind individual who cares for all and is very empathetic I have had two pugs so i have some experience with caring with smaller dogs but larger dogs i do not have experience. I also am allergic to cats
Hello! My name is Genessis, Genny for short! I speak English and Spanish. I can help with homework for kids, I have been told I would make a great teacher although that is not what I am currently perusing as a career. I have no problem babysitting teens. I grew up as the oldest of 6 so I was constantly babysitting for my parents. I dont have too much experience with infants but I am confident in my ability to babysit them as well as toddlers to teens even older teens too. I have been told by my family and friends and my own siblings that I have a lot of patience. I like kids and I like taking care of them and from my experience kids tend to gravitate towards me. I am never opposed to playing games with or talking about the little things that they are into, I love all kinds of kid movies and shows, and I am very much used to hearing the same show or song or movie on repeat so can be very enjoyable and fun to be around for the little ones. I also have experience taking care of pets, specifically dogs and cats. Although I do not mind learning about how to take care of other pets as well, I love most animals and I am not afraid of most animals or insects either. I am currently attending college so my schedule is a little bit weird. Saturdays and Sundays I am available all day of course. Mondays and Wednesdays, I would be available from around 2pm to 11pm. Tuesdays Wednesdays and Thursdays I will not be available until around 6pm to 11pm. I will be commuting to and from on the bus, I will always do my very best to be as early as possible to avoid being late. Of course there will sometimes be delays with the bus and all. If that occurs I will absolutely taking initiative to stay in contact if it does come down to that to let you know about my eta even if I am not late I would too. Depending on the day and time I will be sitting for you I might have to also do my own homework and assignments, it will not affect my ability to be sitting for you because that is my own responsibility just as babysitting for you will be my responsibility. However, I would just like you to keep in mind that you may find me bringing my laptop to complete my schoolwork especially since I do have online classes that require only fully online class work. I am happy to help out, clean, cook (although I only know a few dishes), and simply take care of the kiddos or pets and I cant wait to start babysitting and/or petsitting! :)
Hi families! My name is Celeste, and I earned my bachelor's degree in Elementary and Special Education. I'm an aspiring teacher who is passionate about making a positive impact on children's lives, supporting their growth, and helping them feel confident, valued, and understood. I have years of experience working with children from preschool through 12th grade, including children with diverse learning needs and abilities. I'm also fully bilingual in English and Spanish! I'm patient, nurturing, responsible, dependable, and energetic. My priority is to create a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable, respected, and supported. I enjoy planning age-appropriate activities, encouraging creativity, helping with homework, and maintaining daily routines. I'm comfortable with pets, especially dogs, and happy to assist with meal preparation, light housekeeping, and errands. Caring for children is not about building meaningful connections, but being a positive role model. I value open communication with parents and understand how important it is to feel confident that your children are in caring, trustworthy hands. I'd love the opportunity to support your family and make a positive impact in your children's lives!
“Celeste did a great job when I needed a last-minute sitter for my eight-year-old. I’m always very reluctant to hire last-minute sitters, but she made us feel right at ease from the beginning. She was attentive, and my son really liked her. She’s also an awesome person. My sisters and I really enjoyed talking to her while we were getting ready for our night out! ”

"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."
