Hello, I’m Janelle, but everyone calls me Lyric ☺️ I’m 37 years old and hold a Bachelor’s degree in Broadcast Journalism from The University of Georgia. I’m originally from Boston, MA, and I currently work as a songwriting professor at UCLA, alongside my career as a recording artist and DJ. I have extensive experience caring for children of all ages. I volunteered in the childcare nursery at my church, grew up helping care for my 10 nieces and nephews, and babysat regularly for an infant during college. Over the years, I’ve also participated in various community and volunteer programs centered around children. Most of my close friends are parents now, so I’m constantly around little ones, and my work here on UrbanSitter reflects my recent and consistent experience with a wide range of families. I’m very laid back, patient, and attentive, with a youthful spirit and positive energy that kids naturally connect with. I love arts and crafts, creative play, listening to music, watching cool age-appropriate shows, and spending time outdoors. I especially enjoy taking kids to the park, staying active, and encouraging imagination. I also love cooking, and I’m always happy to help with meals when needed. I’m a huge NBA fan, so if your child loves basketball or music , we’ll definitely get along 🏀. My goal is always to create a safe, fun, and calm environment while giving parents peace of mind and a well-deserved break. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and help make your day a little easier. I do typically require a 4 hour minimum per sitting job, but rates and time frames are negotiable depending on location. Please feel free to message me to inquire further. — Lyric

Hello. My name is iara. I'm 28 years old and I have been working as a nanny for 8 years now. I've recently graduated from CSULB with a degree in International Studies. For the last four years, I have been working as a night nanny taking care of newborns overnight so the parents could sleep. My job consists of taking care of the babies (from the day they came from the hospital), changing diapers, feeding them, burping, and helping them fall back asleep while documenting everything to let the parents know. I also help parents stabling a routine, learn about their baby, and navigate life with a newborn. I have had the pleasure to work with a lot of amazing families with twins, preemies, etc. I love helping parents with their babies and I also don't mind doing chores around the house while the baby sleeps. I have certifications from reputable institutions such as "newborn care solutions", and CPR, and I'm also fully vaccinated. I have my transportation and can provide as many references as needed. If you have any questions and would like to talk more, please feel free to contact me.

Hello, I've had extensive experience in caring for children of all ages. I have 24 yr old college educated twins boys, one lives outside the home, the other is in his last year of college. I also have a 10 year old daughter, who is very mature,( an old soul) smart ( like her bros.) friendly, compassionate and intelligent. I've worked as a special education paraeducator for Los Angeles unified school district from 1[removed], working with children from 3 yrs to 21, with behavior challenges, physical, mental and academic disabilities. I also became a foster parent, liscensed for basic and therapeutic care for Los Angeles County for 4 years but due to covid I didn't continue. I've always been told I am naturally nurturing, and caring , I haven't met a child yet that didn't like me. 😊 I have been off of work for almost two years officially, however, I do have a few side gigs when requested, party planning, cosmetology, just to name a few. I have also been contacted about becoming a RBT ( Registered Behavior Technician) by the Learning and Behavior Center of Tarzana, which I am considering, however I'd love to assist a family that may can use my services, and just over all great energy. Thank you for your consideration
