Hi! My name is Talia, and I currently work as a pediatric care partner and unit secretary at CHLA. Through my experience in pediatric healthcare, I've developed a calm, patient, and attentive approach to caring for infants, children, and adolescents while supporting both their emotional and daily care needs. My experience includes monitoring vital signs, assisting with feeding and hygiene, maintaining patient safety, and helping care for babies and children with medical and developmental needs, including former preemies/NICU transfers and children with epilepsy, autism, and ADHD. In addition to my pediatric healthcare background, I also have experience providing childcare support for family friends and children within my community. Families would describe me as dependable, compassionate, observant, and nurturing.

Hi, I'm Noemi (Noe), and I'm passionate about providing thoughtful, personalized care for individuals of all ages and abilities as well as pets. I've worked as a middle school art teacher and an instructional aide, supporting students with a variety of abilities. I've also been a behavior technician and worked with young ones with ASD. I’ve been a caretaker as a side job since I was 15. I have experience caring for newborns to teenagers, as well as disabled young adults. I strive to make my care meet the needs of the young ones I work with. Whether that's imaginary play, board games, puzzles, books, or video games. I make our session fun, engaging, and reach developmental milestones. I also have experience taking care and being a companion to senior adults. I’ve taken care of my grandparents (80+) and a family friend who made it to the wonderful age of 90. Companionship is crucial to their mental health and I appreciate the wisdom they have to offer. I am patient, kind, and love to talk/listen to folks stories. As a dog parent myself (two wonderful pups, ages 7 and 13), I'm comfortable caring for both small and large dogs. Whether it's ensuring a safe, nurturing environment for your loved ones or providing attentive care for your furry friends, I'm here to help. Let's connect to discuss how I can support your family!

Hi parents! A little about me: I'm an independent visual artist, musician, and dancer, and I like to write, read, study languages, spend time with animals, and travel. I graduated with a BA from University of San Francisco in 2014, as a Media Studies major with Spanish and Gender Studies minors. I am vaccinated for COVID-19 and promptly receive booster vaccinations. I have tons of experience with kids! I have used UrbanSitter since 2012, and have had the opportunity to work with kids of all ages - particularly infants as young as 3 months, toddlers, and 3-to-5-year olds. I’m great with older kids as well - in the past I have also coached cheerleading to ages 6-14, worked as a lifeguard and swimming instructor for children aged 6 months to 13 years, tutored middle school-aged kids in a variety of subjects, and worked in a candy store swarming with little ones. So I am comfortable and confident in babysitting for all ages! I am also CPR, First Aid, and Lifeguard certified. I am well-versed in composting/recycling and other environmental concerns, and am happy to teach children about eco-friendly practices. And most importantly - I love being around kids (and animals)! My favorite activities to do with kids are that of the artistic and adventurous variety...I am happy to spend an afternoon watercolor painting, exploring a new park, making crafts, baking vegan cookies, or navigating a museum. The more engaging the better - if it's a nice day I'd rather be outside taking a walk or traipsing on the beach! I am dedicated to nurturing your child's curiosity, creative-thinking, and adventurous spirit - as these are qualities in myself that I am happy to have harnessed at a young age. I am looking forward to hearing from you! Please contact me with any questions you may have!

Hello parents! My expertise ranges from newborns, to school aged children, and occasionally preteens. I know how to change diapers and make bottles to prepare healthy snacks and play while learning. From my experiences with children, it seems to me that children tend to easily bond with me as I am fun while providing a sense of trust and security. Family life is my passion as my own family means a lot to me. *I would gladly appreciate if you send me message first describing your needs. I can accept the job without a phone interview should we exchange messages with all the details. Ps.s. Last minute cancelations made within 6 hours of the start time would require payment for three hours of my time.

Hi, I’m Wendy! I’m a dedicated babysitter with over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages, including those with ADHD and Autism. I have a strong understanding of RIE teaching methods, which help foster independence, confidence, and a nurturing environment for children to thrive. Originally from Los Angeles, I went to school for Business but my true passion has always been working with kids. I love incorporating outdoor activities, art, and cooking into my babysitting style to create engaging and fun experiences. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and enriching environment for every child I care for. I’m also a big dog lover, so pets are always a welcome part of the experience! I’d love to connect with your family—feel free to reach out with any questions!
