Hi parents, my name is Melissa. I am 30 and currently in school completing science classes and now applying to nursing programs. Because of this career path I’m choosing, I have sought after my CPR certification and an EMT certification. I’m certified by American Heart Association and certified by the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians, as well as the state of CA. I completed my EMT training at Citrus College. I am now working full-time as an EMT. I began babysitting when I was 11 years old, taking care of my little brother and any children belonging to family and friends. Not only have I babysat children, but I have coached and tutored them as well. I was previously employed by Jumpstart (AmeriCorps) to help teach preschool children in low income communities. Because of this, I took 2 child development courses and extensive training, which helped me to continue working with children through UrbanSitter since 2015. Side note: In my video, i accidentally said that I have experience with children between 2 and 3, but I have babysat children between the ages of 2 and 14. I sent in another video to correct it, but Urbansitter approved of the wrong video. For multiple family bookings: Rates listed below are for a single family household. If 2 or more families are sharing babysitting services, I ask the each have their own starting pay at the CA hourly minimum wage. Thank you for understanding.

Very friendly and experience in taking 18 months old

Hi! My name is Linda and I am a boy mom. My sons are 12 and 8 years old. I provided childcare for other families from my home when my sons were infants. I am the oldest of 5 kids and absolutely love being around children. I love teaching, being silly, dancing, and empowering kids. I have my bachelor's degree in Psychology and my work experience has been in mental health, social work, and working with troubled children and teens. My favorite job by far was working as a counselor at a mental health clinic for children. I had a group of 5-8 clients, ages 8-10 years old that I worked with daily on anger management, emotion regulation and social skills. I enjoy the outdoors: hiking, camping, and exploring in general. I love the ocean: swimming, snorkeling, boating. I love getting lost in a good book. And I love to dance, specially salsa and bachata. I am kind, nurturing, honest, and will care for your children as if they were my own. I look forward to working together!

Hello! I’m Anna, and I have many experience working with and caring for children of all ages. My passion for childcare began as the oldest sibling in my family and has grown through years of experience caring for children as well as working as a teacher’s assistant. I am patient, dependable, and dedicated to creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn and grow. I enjoy planning fun, age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, educational games, and creative learning. I’m also happy to help with homework, prepare simple meals, maintain daily routines, and assist with housekeeping. I am a licensed driver with reliable transportation and can assist with school drop-offs, pickups, appointments, and extracurricular activities. I am fluent in English and Mandarin Chinese, allowing me to communicate comfortably with bilingual families. Families describe me as trustworthy, responsible, and easy to communicate with. I provide reliable, compassionate care that gives parents peace of mind while supporting each child’s growth and development. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and become someone you can depend on. My schedule is very flexible so don’t be afraid to reach out!!

Great to work with!
