Hey there, my name is Jenny. Nice to meet you! I have been working with Urbansitter since 2013, and I have made meaningful connections with families over the years. Though I’m currently pursuing a doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, I still find joy in babysitting when my schedule allows. I’m known for being patient, goofy, and communicative. My professional background is rooted in hospitality and technology, but I’ve always had a passion for working with kids in diverse settings. I coach volleyball and volunteer as a camp counselor at The Painted Turtle Camp. I’ve also had the privilege of tutoring elementary school kids via Reading Partners and mentoring with Access Youth Academy. Each of these experiences has enriched my ability to connect with kids and support their growth in fun and creative ways.

“Jennifer was very nice and our 3 boys really liked spending the evening with her! She was professional and timely and even honored our request to speak Spanish with our children while she was babysitting them. Would definitely use again as a babysitter.”

Greetings families :) I was born and raised in the Philippines where I gained experience teaching children basic reading, writing, drawing, and conflict resolution during high school. I have been in the US since July 2011. I graduated from Santa Monica College with high honors in Early Childhood Education in June 2019. I earned my BA in Child Development from CA State University Long Beach with Magna Cum Laude honors in Fall 2021. I've gained practicum experience at the Growing Place Ocean Park and Marine Campus which both hold the same philosophy I believe in - constructivism. Through this lens, children learn best through play - based on their interests and engagement, which encompasses a broad spectrum of academic subject matter including science, math, arts, and problem solving. Play also presents the opportunity for children to develop prosocial behavior and self-regulation among peers, necessary to succeed not just in academia but in life. I am also a firm advocate of respectful, responsive, and reciprocal care wherein children are valued with consistency. They are human beings capable of learning through trial and error - born with a drive to engage in the scientific method to reach their own conclusions about the world around them. As a caregiver, it is not only my responsibility to support their development by extending their interests through scaffolding but also follow their parents’ lead with methods and philosophies at home. I have also gained experience at Early Head Start Programs in addition to working for Edgewater Preschool, West Hollywood Preschool, and Westside Children’s Center. I have a current BLS certification, clean driving record/background, and would be willing to take any drug test. I also have up to date immunizations and a negative TB test. Moreover, I am a happy mother of a 5-year old active boy! Growing up, I learned how to play the guitar and drums, how to dance ballet, act in theater plays, and defend myself through Aikido. During my free time, I enjoy surfing, hiking, walking, cooking, cleaning the house, and reading. I also like to paint, draw, and write whenever I can. Now that I have my son, I enjoy playing with him outdoors! Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I am open to care for your child at my home, if you have the need. Of course, you are welcome to visit before care is booked. I look forward to being of service to your family. Thank you! Warm regards, Buhay (boo-hi)

Hi! I am 29 years old, have an AA in American Sign Language/Interpreter Training and am a behavior technician. I speak fluent English and Spanish and am still learning to fully communicate in ASL. I get along with kids, due to the many in my family, and love to get creative and fun with them. I get my experience from babysitting children of family and friends, and have cared for kids of all ages, especially since starting on urbansitter. I like dancing, karaoke, drawing, painting, and so much more. I accept cash and zelle, but will accept getting paid through the app if you prefer, just let me know. I am very communicative with parents and guardians and send constant updates. For pet sitting, the rate is negotiable. I love all animals! I have dogs and a turtle of my own, as well as provide care for other pets of family and friends. I volunteered at an animal hospital for a year and gained some experience with sick and critical patients, as well as giving medications. I also gained experience from my own dogs with paralysis, blindness, ear infections, and more. I love babysitting! Let me know if there's anything else you want to know about me and I will get back to you ASAP.

“Five stars would definitely recommend to any family looking for someone with a wonderful approach to both neurotypical and neurodivergent children, very reliable, communicative, and professional. Vanessa was great with our five year- old & my daughter felt immediately comfortable with her, & my seven-year-old nonverbal son did just fine all night long. Vanessa is very experienced in handling children on the spectrum and taking the patience, understanding and care, which is something I look for in every Babysitter I hire . They all did so well together, I really look for someone who has experience with neurodivergent children and Vanessa was five stars all the way I really appreciate how she engaged she was with my babies. We will definitely be having Vanessa over again.”

Hi, I’m Hailey! I’m most experienced with infants and toddlers, but older kids are always welcome. Please let me know if you need a reference at any time! Additionally, I have my CNA certification and have been BLS CPR certified for the past two years. I’m also currently a third year nursing student in college hoping to work in the NICU in the future. I’d love to give my full attention and care for up to 1-2 children. I have my own transportation and wouldn’t mind going to the library, park, or pick up from after school. I love crafts, reading, and board games which I can provide as well. Please reach out for any concerns or questions! For pet services: I’m very comfortable around dogs/cats since I’ve grown up with multiple of different breeds and sizes my whole life. I’m also willing to dog walk if that’s all you need. Unfortunately, I cannot board your pets at my own home, but I’d love to care for them at yours!

“Hailey was wonderful! Kind, communicative, and thoughtful. My son is already asking when his friend is coming to visit again. 😀”

Hello! I work full-time as a Mental Health Therapist for children and adults. I have a Masters degree in Social Work from Columbia University. Prior to that, I attended and graduated from Pace University where I majored in Psychology. I have a lot of experience working with children as I have been a part time nanny before. I have babysat children from newborn age to 15 years old. I have experience changing diapers, making baby formula, playing with children, reading and helping them write and just doing activities with them. I have experience doing pick ups and drop offs and also babysitting multiple children at once. I also have experience with bathtime and bed time routine and can help prepare meals if needed. I love babysitting because it has helped me become more patient with children and I love being around children because they are just full with life and happiness. I love to travel, do yoga and dance classes and read and hang out with friends! I am someone who you can always count on to be there for you and help you out!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
