Daphne $40 per hour for 1 child

Active, Patient, Warm, Caring, Safety minded... I recently moved here from Fairfax City Virginia here with the love of my life. I have extensive experience caring for children. I operated an in home child care in Virginia for children 5 weeks old to age 12 for 23 years. We were required to have 16 hours of training a year so I have taken extensive child care training classes over the years. I have passed background checks and have valid First Aid, CPR training currently and all for those years. I love caring for children and I am exceptional with infants, preschool aged children, as well as school aged. I have many excellent references from my families I have worked with over the years as well as neighbors who have known me that long as well. I also have a teaching degree in special education and worked in a day treatment facility for middle school aged children in a self contained classroom setting. I have experience tutoring and helping school aged children with their school work through the years. I have also raised my three sons who are now 26, 24, and 22 years old. In college I worked as a nanny as well as a camp counselor. As a teen I provided swim lessons and was a red cross trained babysitter. I also served as a candy stripper in the hospital. As you can see working with and caring for people and children has been a lifetime endeavor of mine and one I very much enjoy. I am looking to suppliments my income with some part-time or occasional care options. Would love to find some nice families to work with and care for their children or people in need of care. I am open to house sitting, light pet care, light household care, elderly care, or other options as needed. I am open to other opportunities just need to ask and I will let you know if I am up for it.

Hello! I'm a full-time college student studying Biology. On my time off, I like to read, bake, and binge a show. I come from a bigger family so I've always helped take care of people when I can. I enjoy helping others with academics since I've had roles as a mentor/tutor from middle through high school. I'm comfortable in the kitchen and cleaning up around the house.

Hi my name is Lyka! I’m from the Bay Area but I’m a current second year biology major at UC Riverside so I live in Riverside currently. I work at the Little Gym of Millbrae when I’m for the holidays or school breaks. The Little Gym of Millbrae is a children’s physical development and enrichment center that offers gymnastics based classes, camps, and birthday parties for kids ranging from 4 months to 12 years old. I’ve been working at the Little Gym for over 3 years since junior year of high school. Looking to find a side job to help pay the cost for my college tuition so I thought babysitting would best fit since I have working experience with kids in different ranges up till 12! Since UrbanSitter, I have experiences when it comes to diaper change, bottle feeding, and putting babiies down for a nap or sleep. I also have a recent experience working an overnight shift this summer with a 7 month old baby. When it comes to toddlers, working at the Little Gym paved a way for me to learn how to interact with kids, read a book for them, and many other things that a child needs! Besides little gym I’ve always had the passion and patience to work with kids. If you have any questions or if I seem like a great fit for this shift please feel free to reach out to me. Thank you!

“Lyka is fantastic! Warm, kind, and extremely caring. Punctual, enthusiastic, and sweet with my son. They played a lot together and he was very happy! Can’t wait to see Lyka again ;) ”

Hi. My name is Jaki and I'm living in Rancho Cucamonga. I am offering child care. I love being a babysitter and spend time with kids. I have been watching infants, toddlers, and kids (including triplets) since I was almost 20 years old. I have experience caring for children and creating a safe, calm, and organized environment. I follow daily routines such as nap time and meal schedules, and I keep play areas and baby items like bottles clean and organized. I also engage in early stimulation activities, playtime, and walks to support development, and I can assist with outings, playdates, and transportation as needed.

“Jaki has been working with our son for 3 weeks, and she does such a great job with him. She's done a great job helping us introduce him to solid food and is supporting him learning how to stand up and crawl. He has the biggest smile on his face whenever she walks in the door. We will continue to book with Jaki as long as she's available :)”

Hello! It’s great to meet you ! I work as a substitute teacher during the school year and pick up occasional jobs here as well. I teach Kindergarten through twelfth grade and am very familiar and comfortable with that wide age range! Besides that, I have also worked in other school districts as an after school leader, where I was used to working one on one with students as well as leading large groups of kiddos as well. I have also nannied for a family with two babies, ages 2 1/2 and 9 months until I started working as a permanent substitute. I find kids’ energetic and kind personalities a joy to be around and I love working with kids for those reasons! I have a clean driving record and happily offer pickup and drop off from school if needed. I can offer school related assistance including homework help, arts and crafts, light tidying around the household, and anything else that I may be of help in. My priority is always to ensure that this is a great experience for both the family and children, as for me as a caretaker! Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns and I will be more than happy to answer them! I am excited to meet you and potentially work with your family and little ones! I am fully vaccinated as well as have all of the boosters and am CPR Certified for all ages.
