Celeste Stockton
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hello, My name is Celeste, I’m new to this app but not new to working with kids! For the last sixteen months, I’ve worked for the University of the Pacific. Those kids loved me! Many tears when I left, I even have letters from students that I’m more than willing to share! I worked with elementary and middle school kids going from Kindergarten to Eighth grade. That’s my professional background. On a personal level, I’ve babysat my three nephews and two nieces by myself when my sisters would leave town or just needed a date night. Currently, the oldest is fifteen years old and the youngest is seven but I’ve babysat them since they were babies. I have also tutored students. I usually help out with light housekeeping while I’m there. If driving is needed, I’m 20 years old and I’ve never gotten a ticket or so much as even been pulled over. I do not text and drive, I would never put anyone’s life in danger like that. As for pets, I’ve pet sat for family friends in the past including different dog breeds and cats. I do not fear bully breeds, they deserve just as much love as others. I’m not afraid of reptiles, I have a bearded dragon myself. I’m open to any and all animals and will treat them with much care! For seniors, I help my grandpa out a lot. He’s 78 years old and is very stubborn but I still help him in any way he needs. He is the only one I have experience with however I’m a quick study. I’m also a very good listener so whatever you tell me, I will apply to my work. For household services, I grew up going to clean houses with my mom. I’d go almost every day after school to help her. I have no problem cleaning places we all dread. If you give me a time limit, I will make sure to have it done before that time!

Hi! We're a babysitting couple dedicated to providing a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children. We offer more than just supervision—we create a structured, daycare-inspired experience right in your home. Our activities may include: 🎨 Arts and crafts 📚 Story and reading time 🧩 Educational games and learning activities 🎵 Music and movement 🧸 Free play and imaginative play 😴 Nap and quiet time routines 🍎 Snack and meal assistance 🌳 Outdoor play (with parent permission) We believe children learn best through play, creativity, and positive interaction. With two caregivers present, your child receives extra attention, engagement, and supervision throughout the day. Our goal is to help children feel comfortable, happy, and excited while giving parents peace of mind. We look forward to caring for your little ones and creating a fun, enriching experience for every child! Please send your child with any preferred snacks, drinks, meals, diapers, wipes, formula, or comfort items they may need during their stay. We may occasionally provide simple snacks and treats, but parents are responsible for supplying their child's primary food and drink items. This helps us accommodate allergies, dietary restrictions, and personal preferences while ensuring every child has what they need throughout the day. 📸 Parent Updates We love keeping parents involved throughout the day! With parent permission, we take photos and videos of activities, crafts, learning time, outdoor play, and special moments to send directly to parents. This allows you to see what your child is doing, celebrate their accomplishments, and stay connected while you're away. Your child's safety and privacy are important to us. Photos and videos are shared only with the child's parent or guardian unless additional permission is given. We're a babysitting team with 5+ years of childcare experience and previous daycare assistant experience. We provide a safe, fun, and structured environment for children with crafts, story time, learning activities, music, free play, outdoor time, and naps. We believe in strong communication and keep parents updated throughout the day with photos and activity updates (with permission). Parents should provide snacks, meals, drinks, diapers, wipes, and any personal items their child may need. Our goal is to give every child a fun, caring, daycare-style experience with personalized attention from two dedicated caregivers.

Booked by 4 families in Lodi, CA

Hi! My name is Jasmine. I am currently pursuing a career in biotechnology and have several years of experience working with children and families. I have experience nannying and babysitting children ranging from 3 months to 8 years old, including caring for two boys under the age of 4 as a summer nanny. I’m happy to provide professional references from both UrbanSitter and Care.com. I genuinely enjoy creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment for the families I work with. Whether it’s helping with playtime, homework, bedtime routines, meal prep, or keeping the house organized, I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each family’s unique needs. In addition to childcare, I also offer pet care. I have two dogs and a cat at home, and I currently foster kittens through a local rescue organization, so I’m very comfortable caring for animals of all ages and temperaments. Fostering has strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and ability to stay calm and caring in busy situations. My background in retail management, sales, and merchandising with companies like Banana Republic and Forever 21 has also made me highly organized, responsible, and great at multitasking. Families can count on me for household help, errands, organization, and maintaining a clean and welcoming environment. I would love the opportunity to support your family and become someone you can rely on!
