Booked by 1 family in La Verne, CA

Hi everyone I’m Jocelyn is look forward to offering my services of child care, household services if needed as well as pet care. I’m the oldest of four siblings, and growing up caring for my brothers and sisters taught me patience, responsibility, and how rewarding it is to support children as they grow. I have experience with children of all ages whether that is an infant, toddler, or kid. I’ve also helped care for my younger cousins which has also helped me gain experience with kids of different ages and personalities. I truly love children and have a soft spot for them. I think children are very smart and curious, and just need patience, understanding, and someone open minded to guide them and listen. I also worked at a kids club in a gym, where I cared for multiple children at once. This taught me how to manage groups safely, keep them engaged, and ensure each child felt seen and supported. Along with my experience with children, I’ve grown up around animals. My family had three dogs and a cat, so I’m very familiar with caring for pets and understand how loving and important they are in a family. I enjoy spending time with animals, giving them attention, and making sure they feel safe and happy. I’m a caring, gentle, and dependable person who treats others like my own family. I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and positive environment, whether helping with homework, planning little fun activities, or looking after pets. I’m excited to meet your family and provide the support and care that you may need.

Alyssa $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Alyssa and I have been caring for children and pets since my early teenage years, continuing throughout my 20’s. I’m offering child care, cat care, and small dog care! My child care has included watching toddlers and kids, preparing basic meals, light cleaning, and driving to and from local destinations. My pet care has included watching animals for hours or days at a time, feeding routines, and I have owned cats and dogs my entire life! I can include all of the above in my care services, and can run errands if necessary.

Hi parents, my name is Melissa. I am 30 and currently in school completing science classes and now applying to nursing programs. Because of this career path I’m choosing, I have sought after my CPR certification and an EMT certification. I’m certified by American Heart Association and certified by the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians, as well as the state of CA. I completed my EMT training at Citrus College. I am now working full-time as an EMT. I began babysitting when I was 11 years old, taking care of my little brother and any children belonging to family and friends. Not only have I babysat children, but I have coached and tutored them as well. I was previously employed by Jumpstart (AmeriCorps) to help teach preschool children in low income communities. Because of this, I took 2 child development courses and extensive training, which helped me to continue working with children through UrbanSitter since 2015. Side note: In my video, i accidentally said that I have experience with children between 2 and 3, but I have babysat children between the ages of 2 and 14. I sent in another video to correct it, but Urbansitter approved of the wrong video. For multiple family bookings: Rates listed below are for a single family household. If 2 or more families are sharing babysitting services, I ask the each have their own starting pay at the CA hourly minimum wage. Thank you for understanding.

Hi! My name is Kayla. I've spent the last ten years caring for children of all ages. Whether it's infants, toddlers, or teenagers, I'm extremely comfortable around kids and willing to learn and adapt to best care for your child or children! When it comes to taking care of your child, I enjoy outdoor adventures in the park, reading books, and baking sweet treats (with your permission, of course). My goal is to ensure your child stays happy and comfortable while you're away! I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule. I'm usually available early mornings, midday, and late nights, and I can accept last minute bookings. I look forward to meeting you and your loved ones!

“She arrived with plenty of time to spare. She is a very bright person who really connects with children. I felt completely at ease leaving my child in her care. I would definitely love to hire her again!”

"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!"
