Janiece 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in La Crescenta, CA

Hi! My name is Janiece, and I would love to help take care of your little ones. I have a genuine passion for working with kids and creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment. With experience in teaching and a bilingual background in Spanish, I enjoy helping children learn and grow through play and engaging activities. I also love to sing, dance, and play dress-up—your kids and I are bound to have a blast unleashing our creativity! Whether we’re baking cookies, cooking up fun meals, or diving into a world of imagination, I’m all about making sure every moment is enjoyable and memorable. I used to work at the YMCA daycare and summer camp for three years. Going on explorations to the park, swimming classes, and other outdoor outings like movie theatre, and shopping runs. We would also have creative freedom time such as coloring, building, and science experiments. But would also stay in the facility working with newborns and toddlers. I then transitioned to helping high school students, helping with homework, and class work. I currently am an assistant art teacher. Helping with 3d art and sculpture. As well as creating schematics in architectural design. In some cases I also sit one on one helping students with presentations, papers, attire, and verbal communication. I’d be honored to support your family by bringing positivity, patience, and a touch of fun to your home.

Janiece did great with our toddler and did a ton of activities while we needed care. She was reliable, kind, and flexible when we were running behind and needed to add more time. I would rebook 100%.

Cierra 1 review
$27 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Cierra, and I am currently a Lead Teacher at a preschool where I work primarily with 2-year-olds. I am offering child care services and have several years of experience working with children ages 2-5 in preschool classroom settings. I love working with children and especially enjoy arts and crafts, sensory play, music and movement activities, and themed activities that keep kids engaged and having fun while learning. I am very comfortable managing daily routines for multiple children at once, including meals, naps, potty training, transitions, outdoor play, and bedtime routines. Families often describe me as warm, personable, dependable, and attentive. I genuinely enjoy building connections with children and creating an environment where they feel safe, supported, and excited to play and learn. That connection often extends outside the classroom, as I have continued babysitting for former preschool families and love maintaining those relationships as children grow. While my most recent experience has been with toddlers and preschool-aged children, I also have experience with school-aged children through camps and after-school care. I am comfortable supervising multiple children at once and adapting activities to different personalities, interests, and energy levels.

I cannot recommend Cierra highly enough. She is truly exceptional and goes above and beyond for the kids in her care. She was my son's pre-school teacher and helped him through a hard transition into a new school. Under her care, he truly blossomed, and I was incredibly impressed at how effortlessly she creates both structure and a joyful learning environment. Moreover, she is an excellent communicator. It’s rare to find someone who combines professionalism, warmth, and natural instinct with kids so seamlessly. I highly recommend Cierra. She brings years of experience with children, and any family would be incredibly lucky to work with her.

Hi! My name is Xochitl, but I go by Flower. I’m a current senior at UC Riverside majoring in Early Childhood Education. I offer childcare, senior care, and pet care, with most of my experience and passion being in childcare. I’ve been working with children since I was 16 and have experience caring for children of all ages, especially infants. My experience includes UrbanSitter, internships, working at an early childhood center, and working as an ABA with children on the autism spectrum. These experiences have helped me develop strong childcare skills. I am comfortable working with different ages, routines, and needs. I’m also available for school pickups and drop-offs, in-home services, and schedule changes when needed. I am CPR certified and can provide references upon request. I’m dependable, caring, and passionate about working with children, and I’d love the opportunity to help your family! :)

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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)."
