Hello! My name is Alley, and I'm a recent UCLA graduate with extensive experience in education and with kids. A little more about me: I have several years of experience working with children. Most recently, I've worked at an after-school program as a coordinator, creating curriculum for elementary aged children focused on expression and creativity. I’ve also worked at a daycare center in the Bay Area, where I gained lots of experience with children in all aspects of their daily care. I was directly responsible for infants as young as 4 months old, and children aged 2-12 years old at this center. In both roles I cared for several children at a time—so, I feel well prepared me for just about any babysitting scenario under the sun! I have also done occasional sitting for families in the Los Angeles area. I really love being a small part of a child’s upbringing and seeing them develop into amazing individuals. It’s been super rewarding. I have used UrbanSitter as an avenue to seek out these opportunities, and have worked with some wonderful families as a result! Besides all that, I have experience as a dance teacher at a children’s summer camp in Northern California, and have done language tutoring in both French and English. Also not bad at cooking kids favorites like mac n cheese or PB&Js. Please feel free to reach out if you're interested in having me work with your family! Always happy to chat or provide references. Alley

Alley was just wonderful! Jumped right in and was a pleasure to work with!

Hi, my name is Angelina . I am a full time educator and a part time nanny. I have 3+ years of experience working with children both in the classroom setting as well as in their own home.

I started my studies at Olivet Nazarene University an hour south of Chicago, where I grew up but I am currently finishing my degree in Child Development Psychology while pursuing art in LA! As the oldest of 6 children I grew up playing a mom role for my younger siblings so I have spent my whole life taking care of children! While taking classes I had the opportunity to babysit and nanny so many beautiful children from newborns to preteens and also help families that had extra mental health needs as well. I am more than able to energetically keep up with children and show endless compassion and patience. I play guitar, sing and paint and would love to teach and help your children with their artistic talents!

On time, reliable and friendly. Our kids enjoy her art activities and playful nature.

I am a graduate student at the University of Southern California. I went to the University of San Francisco for my undergrad, and ended up spending 7 years living in the city. Originally, I am from Texas and I have a younger brother and sister, and am older than most of my cousins so I have a lot of experience with kids and teenagers. I also mentored at Corey Elementary school during my junior year of high and at Boles Jr. High school during my senior year of high school. I used to babysit with this app all throughout undergrad so I have plenty of experience! I also have no pet allergies. Thanks for your time!

"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!"
