Catherine 4 reviews
Los Angeles
$25 per hour for 1 child

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 – My name is Chisa and I’m from Japan. I am offering child care, senior care, dog sitting and household services. Although I don’t have formal nanny experience, I was a nurse in Japan for 15 years. At my previous employment in Japan, I worked in the emergency room for three years and was a pediatrics nurse 2-3 times/month. I did triage for kids, checking the temprature/breaths, and helped docter's phlebotomy, making sure kids were getting nebulizers. Basically, I love kids, they make me smile! Adittionally, I am a Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) in California with BSL certificate. I love interacting with infants and children, and I have extensive experience working with seniors. I’m a dog lover and happy to work with families with dogs! Cats are welcome too!

My girls immediately liked Chisa and didn't want her to leave. She fit right in with our family and we are looking forward to working with her on a regular basis. She is friendly, kind, asks important questions, and is great with the kids. My dog also loved getting extra pets!

Booked by 1 family in Universal City, CA

Hey there! My name is Gwendolyn, and I have over 15 years of babysitting experience. I have cared for children of all ages, including working as a summer nanny and supporting children on the spectrum. I especially enjoy working with creative and imaginative kids, and I love encouraging fun activities, crafts, and play. In addition to childcare, I regularly care for pets and have experience with senior dogs and cats, including administering medication. I am also available to assist as a household helper-whether that’s light cooking, cleaning, running errands, or helping with day-to-day tasks. And a bit about me: I love all things vintage fashion, Disney, and American Girl dolls. I’m really into history, storytelling, and creative hobbies, which is probably why I get along so well with imaginative kids. I’m friendly, reliable, and genuinely enjoy getting to know and build ongoing relationships with the families I work with.

Gwen was so great. When I asked my 5 year old if he liked her he said “I love her” 🥰 Will definitely be hiring her again!
