Booked by 3 families in Santa Monica, CA

Hi parents, New to UrbanSitter, Santa Monica local for over 33 years, mom and USC Graduate. I have been babysitting and tutoring for over 30 years. Originally I came to the US as an Aupair when I was 18 and took care of an infant and elementary school age children. Over the years during college and graduate school here in LA I continued to provide part-time nanny and babysitter services. I have also continued to care for children of all ages when I became a mom because I love taking care of and teaching children and often watched friends’ kids and organized playdates when they were younger. I am very active, love the outdoors and the beach, I even own an e-scooter so I am a cool 😎 mom, and I play soccer, love to bike, hike, can teach swimming and beach and ocean safety. I am a certified USA triathlon coach and ex-triathlete and marathoner, and I also taught German and digital media classes at USC, my Alma Mater where I graduated with two Master’s degrees. I am known to be responsible, mature, caring, and loving. I love to give hugs and listen, have advanced certifications in childcare and I am First Aid/AED/CPR certified for infants, children and adults. I look forward to helping you with your babies, kids and even your furry friends 🤗

“Patricia was wonderful with my kids. She was warm, kind, thoughtful, and very present with them. She really tuned in to their individual needs, and they both felt comfortable with her right away. They had a great time together and have already asked when she’s coming back. I felt completely comfortable having her with them and would absolutely have her back.”

I am 63 years old, semi retired and live in the Ocean Park area of Santa Monica. I am married and raised two boys who are now adults, One Attorney and One Doctor. I love children and I have time available to me. I thought I could earn extra money by babysitting - Child Care etc. I have a nice car, I do not mind driving your child to appointments and I even prefer watching your child at my apartment so you can relax and do what you need to do at your residence. I do not have any animals as I am allergic. I am Responsible and Flexible so please reach out to me!

Bowen $22 per hour for 1 child

I have a strong background in caring for children and pets, and I genuinely enjoy helping families feel safe and supported. I’ve worked with kids of different ages, assisting with daily routines, playtime, homework, meals, and bedtime. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I always prioritize a child’s safety and well-being. I also have experience pet sitting for dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, administering basic care, and providing plenty of affection and companionship. I understand how important it is to follow routines and respect each pet’s unique personality. I’m organized, reliable, and happy to help with light household tasks when needed. My goal is always to give families peace of mind knowing their kids and pets are in caring, capable hands.

Hi there, I'm Alexis! I've cared for children in both home and camp/school settings for over 10 years. I'd love to meet your family! With experience as an art teacher, a volleyball coach, a babysitter, and a tutor, I have a wide range of experience working with kids! I'm excited to meet you!

“Alexis has been watching my 2 year old since he was around 6 months, and has been a staple for our family. She is responsive, reliable and always punctual. Alexis is so great with our son, and he really looks forward to their time together. Leaving him with her is never a concern, and something our whole family looks forward to. I cannot recommend Alexis highly enough.”
