Hello! My name is Caitlin, and I am an actor with a passion for positively impacting the lives of children (complete with silly faces and voices)! I recently combined my two passions by hosting a children’s web series focused on having a growth mindset called Big Life Journal Buddies. I am originally from from the East Coast and graduated summa cum laude from Temple University in 2015. In addition to over 10 years of babysitting, mentoring students, and leading sports camps, I have two years of experience as a coach in a top youth soccer program that focuses just as much on character development as it does soccer fundamentals. I have also nannied for a Beverly Hills family including an 8 and 12 year old for one school year. My responsibilities included picking up two brothers from school, taking them to activities, preparing their snacks and meals, helping with homework, and engaging them in play. While I love to let my inner child out, my priority is making sure your child is safe under the guidance you provide. I look forward to speaking with you! Sincerely, Caitlin

“Caitlin was a pleasure to have. She took really great care of my daughter and kept her very busy. I wanted her to do other activities besides sitting on her iPad or phone so I was pleased to hear she spent her time watching a movie and playing card games, etc. All the fun stuff kids should be doing. ”

** DUE TO A WRIST PROBLEM, I AM ONLY WORKING WITH CHILDREN AGES 4 AND UP** Hello! My name is Monique, and I was a stay-at-home mom of two (now grown) children. After my kids grew up, and I thought about going to work, I couldn't think of anything I'd enjoy more (or am better at) than caring for children! I have lots of experience entertaining children with vastly different temperaments and energy levels. I love children of all ages- including the ones that are old enough to think they're smarter than you! I genuinely find all kids interesting and enjoy talking with them and exploring their interests. I love being silly and kids like me - seriously, they really do! I'll be down on the floor, in the grass, whatever it takes, to interact with and to engage your child. (Obviously, older children may not need/want that kind of attention.) I am nurturing, loving, patient, fun, silly, physically fit, experienced, and professional. - Adult & pediatric CPR and First Aid certified (American Red Cross) -Background checked through the California Trustline Registry and through the company Urban Sitter uses. If your child needs help with school work, I might be able to help. I do love teaching. I home schooled one child for nine years, 4th-12th grade). I'm college educated, have a Masters degree from NYU, and have professional tutoring experience. My SUV seats seven, I can assemble nutritious meals, and I love dogs. I'm fine with other animals, too. I am absolutely responsible, completely reliable and punctual! Thank you for your interest in me :) **BOOKINGS ON FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS: 24-hour cancellation policy, $60 charge, which is not intended as a penalty, but a small amount of the loss I incur from missing out on filling a premium spot.

I’m a very empathetic, patient, and playful person who truly enjoys spending time with children. I love teaching, creating activities, and helping them learn and grow. I have 7 years of babysitting experience with kids from 1 month old to 16 years old, and I’ve also taught ballet and Spanish. I hold a Degree in Social Communication and another in Acting, and I’m certified in First Aid and CPR by the Red Cross. I lead a healthy, active lifestyle and value nature, creativity, gratitude, and keeping a positive environment for kids. I love babysitting because children are naturally imaginative, curious, and full of joy, I love being part of that.

“Natasha was punctual and immediately fell into step trying to help and be thoughtful . Easy to trust and loved having her in our home . A+ ”

AVAILABLE FOR BACKUP CARE TRUSTLINE REGISTERED Not too long ago it was a tradition for an extended family member to step in as a caregiver for working parents. Now, there are many families who have moved to a new city for a career without a family member nearby. I specialize in taking loving care of children in my role as caregiver. I strive to prepare healthy kid-friendly meals and snacks for children. And I make use of other sites to find activities for little learners. I can keep your child engaged with reading books aloud and other fun and educational activities. I am very resourceful and patient with a sense of humor! For the past couple of years, I have worked as a nanny in share, and with one child alone. Those parents are very willing to be a reference for me. And I had a very successful run in Washington DC with many families from the region. Maybe I have cared for your family or friends in DC; I have more than 400 bookings there. I really look forward to working with your family!

Hi! My name is Kayla, and I’m currently a law student at USC. I’m excited to spend my summer helping families with dependable, attentive, and engaging childcare. I’ve always loved working with children and have experience through tutoring, as well as growing up as 1 of 10 kids with many nieces and nephews. Being part of a big family has given me plenty of hands-on experience caring for children of different ages, and I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, positive, and fun environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves. Whether that means helping with homework, reading stories, getting creative with arts and crafts, exploring at the park, or doing mini science experiments, I love finding activities that keep children engaged and excited to learn. I’m responsible, organized, patient, and comfortable balancing busy schedules and high levels of responsibility. I’m happy to help wherever needed, whether that’s preparing simple meals, keeping routines on track, or lending an extra set of hands to make your family’s day run more smoothly. I also understand how important trust and communication are when it comes to childcare, and I strive to make both parents and children feel supported and at ease. I’m also very comfortable around pets! As the proud owner of a Saint Bernard and a Bernese Mountain Dog, I have plenty of experience caring for large dogs and would be happy to help in pet-friendly households (including homes with cats!). I would love the opportunity to connect with your family this summer and provide a caring, reliable presence for your children!

“Kayla is absolutely wonderful! She is easygoing and thoughtful, and my son loved his time with her. ”
