Hello! My name is Cassandra and I'm 32 years old. I graduated from San Francisco State University in 2016, with a major in Technical and Professional Writing. I'm originally from LA and I moved back once I graduated. I currently work in Finance as an EA. I've been working with kids since I was 15 years old. I've worked with kids mostly between the ages of 2 and 8. I'm extremely patient with kids and I definitely know how to keep them busy. I have some experience with toddlers but not a ton. I am a fast learner though. : )
“Cassandra was amazing with our kids. We would definitely like to work with Cassandra again.”
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!
“Emilia was kind, reliable, and asked thoughtful questions about our infant. Would definitely work with her again if we’re in the area!”
Hello! My name is Caitlin, and I am an actor with a passion for positively impacting the lives of children (complete with silly faces and voices)! I recently combined my two passions by hosting a children’s web series focused on having a growth mindset called Big Life Journal Buddies. I am originally from from the East Coast and graduated summa cum laude from Temple University in 2015. In addition to over 10 years of babysitting, mentoring students, and leading sports camps, I have two years of experience as a coach in a top youth soccer program that focuses just as much on character development as it does soccer fundamentals. I have also nannied for a Beverly Hills family including an 8 and 12 year old for one school year. My responsibilities included picking up two brothers from school, taking them to activities, preparing their snacks and meals, helping with homework, and engaging them in play. While I love to let my inner child out, my priority is making sure your child is safe under the guidance you provide. I look forward to speaking with you! Sincerely, Caitlin
“I live in another country and often unsure who to trust. She was excellent with our daughter and followed all instructions perfectly. I highly recommend her.”
Hi! My name is Kayla, and I’m currently a law student at USC. I’m excited to spend my summer helping families with dependable, attentive, and engaging childcare. I’ve always loved working with children and have experience through tutoring, as well as growing up as 1 of 10 kids with many nieces and nephews. Being part of a big family has given me plenty of hands-on experience caring for children of different ages, and I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, positive, and fun environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves. Whether that means helping with homework, reading stories, getting creative with arts and crafts, exploring at the park, or doing mini science experiments, I love finding activities that keep children engaged and excited to learn. I’m responsible, organized, patient, and comfortable balancing busy schedules and high levels of responsibility. I’m happy to help wherever needed, whether that’s preparing simple meals, keeping routines on track, or lending an extra set of hands to make your family’s day run more smoothly. I also understand how important trust and communication are when it comes to childcare, and I strive to make both parents and children feel supported and at ease. I’m also very comfortable around pets! As the proud owner of a Saint Bernard and a Bernese Mountain Dog, I have plenty of experience caring for large dogs and would be happy to help in pet-friendly households (including homes with cats!). I would love the opportunity to connect with your family this summer and provide a caring, reliable presence for your children!
“Kayla is absolutely wonderful! She is easygoing and thoughtful, and my son loved his time with her. ”

My car and my driving record are impeccable. I am kind, loving, patient, nurturing, funny, reliable, punctual, and very responsible.

"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!"
