Hello, Attention: I don't work with sick kids or recovering kids from cold, flu and so on. Thank you for understanding! Now back to me: I'm 37 years old. Have experience babysitting for 10 years on this website. I have a 6 year old and a 10 year old kids myself. Primarily looking to work for someone who would want to go on a date, to work or so on ( 4-12 hours). Anywhere from occasional to a few times a week jobs. Tutoring/Homeschooling for grades 3rd and under available for 15$ an hour at my place. Have experience from homeschooling my son since he was 2.5 years old and school affiliated homeschooling since March of 2020. Plus was totally homeschooled for 1st grade. Overnight/Daycare, closed days care is also provided. if you can bring your kid over to my place rate is 15$/hour per kid. 18$ for two etc. Have a separate room with 2 twin mattresses and also have pack and play if needed for younger ones. For older kids 3 and up I usually bring activities like a coloring book with markers , activity books, stickers or a small art project to do ( beads, mosaics) Ok with driving to your place or you can drop the kid off at mine either way is fine depends on the time of day. At our place we have back yard, pool ( gated and only operational during summer time) , toys, building blocks, magnet-tiles, marbles maze, duplos, puzzles, painting, beads, art table, and a park walking distance away it’s a walkway from our house so no roads need to be crossed ( if you are ok with me taking kids to the park). For babies we also have pack and play, baby safe toys. So if you want to drop a baby off here just bring diapers, bottles, formula/breast milk and wipes as some kids are sensitive to different wipes. Hope to talk to someone soon:)

Hi! My name is Nsonga, and I’m currently a sophomore in college offering reliable and attentive childcare services. I’ve been babysitting since I was 13 and have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and teens. I’m also first aid and cpr certified. Over the years, my responsibilities have included school drop-offs and pick-ups, helping with homework and tutoring, planning fun and age-appropriate crafts, and ensuring a safe, supportive environment. I genuinely enjoy working with children and take pride in being patient, responsible, and dependable. I am very flexible with scheduling and am looking to work part time while I continue my studies.

Hello! I enjoy being around children and would love to help your family out for the day. I have been babysitting since high school and have been using Urbansitter for six years now. Other involvement working with children includes Bible School, church nursery, 4-H, multiple costume character positions, and a karaoke host for children at an amusement park. I have a college education and am a hard worker. I take pride in my promptness as well as my patience when dealing with tantrums. My approach when babysitting is to try and engage children in games or reading, instead of electronics. I also like to do arts and crafts projects as a form of interaction. I would like to be a role model for your child. I don't drink or do drugs and I'm not into the party scene, so you don't have to worry about your child being exposed to any poor behavior. For those of you that feel comfortable, I have memberships for Descanso Gardens and Huntington Gardens and can take your child for free. I am CPR and first aid certified. Feel free to ask me any questions. I'm excited to work for you and meet your children! I have a Golden Retriever that tags along to my regular families. If you would like her to join, feel free to ask. She's very calm and great with children. She has experience with babies and children with special needs. She's also great with all other pets and loves making new friends. If you need more reassurance about her behavior, please check out my reviews from other families. Thank you! If you would like information on my other services, just ask and I will happily provide background and references! I have 2yrs of caregiver experience. NOTE: Pet fees will differ from my child rates and will be based on the need. Thank you! Another Note: If you must cancel on me for any reason, please do it at least 1hr in advance. I typically arrive to locations 30min early, just to make sure traffic doesn't delay me from being on time. Also, if you're canceling, consider the fact that I have already passed up multiple jobs. The more notice you give, the more time I have to find other work. Thanks for your time!

Ashley was great! Thank you so much!
