In Elementary school they would allow the 4th-5th graders to spend their time off with another teacher as their assistant and that’s when I realized I loved spending time with younger kids. During that time I’d also volunteer as a sitter/helper at my local youth center after school or when needed. As I got older I was able to watch all ages either at the school, youth center, relatives and/or family friends. I have over 18 years of experience as a nanny, sitter, elderly caregiver, personal assistant, and house manager. My main goals are to make sure everyone is comfortable, safe, having fun, & parents can just enjoy themselves without worrying. -PLEASE MSG ME BEFORE BOOKING JOB- ✔️I'm looking for a family that is honest, has family values, and is financially stable. • A year of commitment. • A minimum of 25 guarantee weekly hours.   • As of right now I’m not caring for children under one years old. ✔️ • I’d be happy to assist in preparing/assembling meals for kids &/or family, baking, cleaning up (laundry, organizing, tiding up kitchen, rooms, toys), grocery shopping, driving children, and I’m pet-friendly. (I’m not a housekeeper but will keep household clean) • I have a Kia Sportage, driving record is clean no tickets or accidents. • Vaccines: Tdap 09/29/2024; Flu 03/13/2026; Covid 03/13/2026. • I don't partake in any kind of substances. • Depending on ages of children I’m comfortable with watching four-five children. ••Since December 2023, Ive been providing daily morning care to a sweet elderly woman w/dementia in Glendale.•• ~From past poor experiences I feel it’s best to make a contract so both parties have an understanding of what is to be expected as nanny and parent, it will entail compensation, schedule/hours, payment method, & duties/responsibilities. __ *For our first phone interview & meeting/sitting, I would feel much more comfortable with you booking me via US. It is a safety precaution* __ (1 child) $27/per hr (2 children) $27-$30/per hr (3-4 children) $30-$45/per hr (More than 4 children) $45-$55/per hr

I truly love working with children/ infants and creating a safe, happy, loving, and nurturing environment where they can learn, grow, and have fun. I enjoy swimming, trips to the park, bicycle rides, reading, arts and crafts, coloring, walks, cooking, sports, music, dancing, and imaginative play.

I would love the opportunity to meet your family! Thank you! MaryJo (JoJo) ❤️

“Jojo was so kind, warm, patient and fun! She’s a ray of sunshine 🌞 She swept my kids off their feet within the first half hour of meeting them and they can be quite shy and reserved with new people, especially my 15 month old son. She’s a role model for what a caregiver should be like, I for sure learnt something from her in the little time that I spent just watching her with my kids. Absolute superstar sitter - thanks Jojo, see you next time we’re in LA! ”

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
