Lizette $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in San Fernando, CA

I'm a nurturing and experienced caregiver-and a mother with over 16 years of experience as a nanny, after-school playground worker, site coordinator, volunteer, and teacher's aide. My background has given me a deep understanding of child development and early education. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Child and Adolescent Development from California State University, Northridge, in 2013, and I'm passionate about creating a safe, fun, and enriching environment where children can learn, explore, and grow. I love incorporating outdoor play, creativity, and hands-on learning into daily activities. As both a parent and a dedicated caregiver, I understand the importance of fostering a nurturing and engaging space for little ones. I'm excited to connect with a family looking for a thoughtful, experienced, and compassionate nanny. Let's work together to create a supportive and stimulating environment for your child!

$30 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! During the day, I am a Substitute Teacher for K-12 charter schools. In addition, I am a Tutor specializing in ESL, ELA and Reading Comprehention. I have a Master's degree in Teaching English as a Foreign Language and I've served in the Peace Corps as a TEFL Teacher and Trainer (Ukraine, 2[removed], and Uzbekistan 2002-2005. ) I am a very caring, fun and creative caregiver who thinks outside of the box! I like to create fun activities to keep the kids busy and engaged. Not a big fan of Tech for play or entertainment! I prefer Reading books/Storytelling, Arts & Crafts, Games, Outdoor Play, Music & Movement for the little ones (play a little bit of guitar), and Cooking. Lastly, I like helping out with pets and have experience with Seniors as well!

Vickie has been our go-to person for house/dog sitting for approximately 15 years. She is responsible, reliable, clean, and trustworthy with kids and fur-babies. She has a vast experience with kids, typical and special needs, which is how we first came to know Vickie. Taking care of our dog was yet another positive and rewarding experience. We know call Vickie our good friend. We highly recommend her for Urban Sitters.

Booked by 1 family in San Fernando, CA

Hi my name is Aniko. I am from Hungary where I first started out working at the American Embassy as a nanny and baby sitter contributing to many families lives. I have lived in Los Angeles for over 20 years and worked with many high profile families in the film , music and fashion industry. As for me I am the silly friend kids need to have lots of fun and laughter with yet I am also the assertive teacher to discipline them for the creation of healthy boundaries. One of my favourite part of being with kids is reading stories to them in such ways that evokes and stimulates their creative imagination. I also like to take them for those nice walks in the park greeting and recognizing animals and plants. Through these experiences they are able to learn the cycles of nature and understand the inevitable laws of life. I am also good at keeping them engaged with age and developmentally appropriate activities. Keeping their area organized and tidy besides preparing healthy snacks and meals if applicable. I have excellent references from parents and hand written letters from children as well. I have college educational background from Hungary and decades of experience besides the willingness to contribute positively to the children's as well as the parents' lives so we can all feel good working together as a team.

Aniko is great! We found her at the very last minute after being flaked on by another sitter. She was on time. She took her time with our son to be comfortable with her and was very attentive to him. She also made sure he did allot of activities and even taught him to clean up his toys after. We'll be calling 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!"
