Hi everyone I’m Jocelyn is look forward to offering my services of child care, household services if needed as well as pet care. I’m the oldest of four siblings, and growing up caring for my brothers and sisters taught me patience, responsibility, and how rewarding it is to support children as they grow. I have experience with children of all ages whether that is an infant, toddler, or kid. I’ve also helped care for my younger cousins which has also helped me gain experience with kids of different ages and personalities. I truly love children and have a soft spot for them. I think children are very smart and curious, and just need patience, understanding, and someone open minded to guide them and listen. I also worked at a kids club in a gym, where I cared for multiple children at once. This taught me how to manage groups safely, keep them engaged, and ensure each child felt seen and supported. Along with my experience with children, I’ve grown up around animals. My family had three dogs and a cat, so I’m very familiar with caring for pets and understand how loving and important they are in a family. I enjoy spending time with animals, giving them attention, and making sure they feel safe and happy. I’m a caring, gentle, and dependable person who treats others like my own family. I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and positive environment, whether helping with homework, planning little fun activities, or looking after pets. I’m excited to meet your family and provide the support and care that you may need.

Hello. I have 10+ years working with kids from newborns to teenagers. I am also third oldest of seven kids, so some of that experience did come from watching my siblings growing up. I work in the food industry and have 14years experience. I have 2 elder dogs, they are a terrier mix that I had the opportunity of taking in as puppies (3-4 weeks,) they just turned 15 years, so I have experience with dogs, smaller dogs, but I love all dogs regardless. I mainly love baking and creating fun little treats but I do know my way around a kitchen as well. I’ve been a creative person my whole life, so both visual arts and performing arts are things I’m passionate about. I’m a very neat, organized and detail oriented person, so helping with household chores is something I can assist with as well. My fulltime job was affected by the LA fires (Jan. 2025) and I’ve yet to find another full time job to work in tandem with my part time job. I’m looking for something with a set schedule, and preferably something earlier in the day.

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.
