Hello! I enjoy being around children and would love to help your family out for the day. I have been babysitting since high school and have been using Urbansitter for six years now. Other involvement working with children includes Bible School, church nursery, 4-H, multiple costume character positions, and a karaoke host for children at an amusement park. I have a college education and am a hard worker. I take pride in my promptness as well as my patience when dealing with tantrums. My approach when babysitting is to try and engage children in games or reading, instead of electronics. I also like to do arts and crafts projects as a form of interaction. I would like to be a role model for your child. I don't drink or do drugs and I'm not into the party scene, so you don't have to worry about your child being exposed to any poor behavior. For those of you that feel comfortable, I have memberships for Descanso Gardens and Huntington Gardens and can take your child for free. I am CPR and first aid certified. Feel free to ask me any questions. I'm excited to work for you and meet your children! I have a Golden Retriever that tags along to my regular families. If you would like her to join, feel free to ask. She's very calm and great with children. She has experience with babies and children with special needs. She's also great with all other pets and loves making new friends. If you need more reassurance about her behavior, please check out my reviews from other families. Thank you! If you would like information on my other services, just ask and I will happily provide background and references! I have 2yrs of caregiver experience. NOTE: Pet fees will differ from my child rates and will be based on the need. Thank you! Another Note: If you must cancel on me for any reason, please do it at least 1hr in advance. I typically arrive to locations 30min early, just to make sure traffic doesn't delay me from being on time. Also, if you're canceling, consider the fact that I have already passed up multiple jobs. The more notice you give, the more time I have to find other work. Thanks for your time!

Ashley was great! Thank you so much!

Hi. I’m Cameron, an athlete and attend Valencia High School. I have a natural love and care for children. I’ve been taking care of kids from the ages of newborn to 10 years old for several years. I have regularly cared for many infants for local families in Santa Clarita and can provide references. Since I am an athlete, I am hands on with the children and engaging them in active games and play that they enjoy. I love cooking and making meals or snacks for the kids I watch. I have taken care of children as after school care , weekends and also nighttime events when parents are out. Since I am a competive athlete as a a softball player and a former equestrian horse jumper, I have a high level of responsibility and naturally do the right thing to care for the children under my watch. I look forward to meeting you and your kids soon!

I’m a responsible and caring college student currently pursuing my Bachelor’s degree in Accounting. I have hands-on experience working with children through my church daycare, where I help create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. I’ve also served as a youth leader, guiding and supporting kids of various ages. In addition, I am a caregiver for my special needs sister, which has strengthened my patience, compassion, and ability to adapt to individual needs. I also have experience with pet sitting and am a pet owner myself, so I’m comfortable caring for furry family members as well. I am CPR certified, dependable, and attentive, and I’m committed to providing a safe, positive space—whether that means helping with homework, organizing engaging activities, or giving parents peace of mind.

I have at least 5 years of babysitting experience. I can also help with Light Housekeeping and Cooking/Cleaning. I have a license and I am safe and reliable. Being a child caregiver/babysitter is something that means so very much to me! I love children and hope to transfer to University soon to teach in an elementary school setting. I am completed a volunteer internship with Kids Hope USA through Christian Association and Eagle Rock Elementary. I volunteered in my small home church before it closed as the Co-Lead Teacher in a Sunday School program. I enjoy singing, reading, listening to stories, sharing experiences with others and encouraging children to do their best!

My daughter said she really likes Jessica. Very friendly and patient. She read books and play games with her. Recommended!
