Booked by 32 families in South Pasadena, CA

Hello! My name is Marandah, and I am a 29 year old woman currently seeking occasional and part time childcare work! In my free time, I absolutely love to cook and bake, spend time outdoors (I run, hike, surf, and swim when I can), play music (singing, guitar, and piano), and write/perform short stories. Childcare has been my first and most long-lasting job-- when I was 12, a family friend would pay me five dollars an hour to walk their infant around the house in a sling until she fell asleep. I have experience with children of all ages, from newborns to teens, and am also experienced working with children and young adults with physical & developmental disabilities. Additionally, I have taught summer camp, theater workshops for children, and given swim lessons. I am a high-energy person who has always found working with kids to be engaging, dynamic, inspiring, and hilarious, and I would love to work with your family!

Booked by 10 families in South Pasadena, CA

Hi my name is Yulissa! I love to be a child caretaker. I’ve raised my siblings since they were little. I worked at an after school program in an elementary school and loved my job very much. I switched my major from nursing to teaching because I found that I love working with kids. I’m understanding and compassionate and very playful. I believe that children should be protected and loved. I want to be another sitter in this world parents can trust and babies can hang out with and feel safe. I truly believe that children should be educated with love, patience, and validation.

“As Yulissa’s previous supervisor for an afterschool program, Yulissa demonstrates exceptional skills in managing and caring for children of various ages. She consistently showed a great deal of patience, creativity and responsibility while ensuring the safety and wellbeing of the children under her care, and she cares tremendously. Her abilities to engage children in educational and fun activities were outstanding as she create an environment where children felt happy, safe, and were eager to learn. Her strong communication skills allowed her to interact effectively with children, parents, and school staff, keeping everyone informed about the day to day wellbeing of the children. I am confident that Yulissa’s experience, dedication and genuine love for children makes her an excellent choice for any childcare position. She would be a valuable asset to any family looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

Booked by 13 families in South Pasadena, CA

Hello! My name is Aylin. I'm a college student attending CSLB online and I’m majoring in child development. I currently work as a campus assistant for an elementary school. I'm really interested in babysitting for you. I'm a reliable, careful, friendly, and responsible person. I'm fully vaccinated. I'm CPR and First Aid certified. If needed I can cook and clean. A little bit about me is that I love working with kids due to me babysitting since I was 14 for neighbors, family members and my mom's day care center. I've babysat from new borns to nine year olds. This sparked my interest for becoming a teacher. I like being a babysitter because it gives the flexibility to work and still be in school.

My name is Cassandra. I worked at an Elementary school for 3+ years. I have experience taking care of ages newborn-12 for 5+ years. I love helping out with kids. I have a driver's license and my own car. I am free all day Monday-Friday and sometimes on weekends. I am open to occasional babysitting. I am also more than happy to just help clean the house or run your errands for you. I used to have a Siberian Husky so I am used to the shedding and love dogs. I love taking the kid and dogs on walks to the park. I can also help the kids with their homework.

"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)."
