Mia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Mia. I’m currently a student at PCC and in the Child Development Program. I'm completing my field practice hours at the PCC child development center. At the center, I've gained experience working with 3-4 year olds. I also work in a after school program at a private school in Pasadena where I prep and manage activities for children around the ages of 5- 12. Friends and family knew I was very responsible starting at an early age. I became their go to person to look after children and pets. Caregiving helps us foster a deeper sense of gratitude by reminding us that every day is an opportunity for kindness, compassion, and love. Whether it's caring for a loved one or helping someone in need, caregiving can remind us to be more grateful and appreciative of the world around us.

Booked by 1 family in South Pasadena, CA

Hi! I’m Brittney, a graduate of Woodbury University, and I offer dependable childcare, senior care, pet care, and household assistance. I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic caregiver with more than 10 years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, school-aged children. I truly enjoy helping children feel safe, supported, and engaged. My experience includes school drop-offs and pick-ups, arts and crafts, baking, reading, tutoring, outdoor activities, games, and creative play. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow each family’s routines and preferences. I also have personal experience caring for my grandmother and understand the importance of patience, companionship, and reliability when supporting seniors. I’m comfortable preparing meals, providing transportation to appointments, running errands, and assisting with everyday tasks. As a lifelong dog owner, I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I currently have an active 10-year-old Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix, so I’m very comfortable with walking, feeding, playing, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. In addition, I can help keep your household running smoothly by cooking, doing laundry, running errands, and assisting with other household needs. I take pride in being dependable, organized, trustworthy, and someone families can feel comfortable welcoming into their homes.

“Wonderful person, brings calmness and peace to our home. My son adores playing with her. We get a long so well from day one. I really recommend her.”

Booked by 2 families in South Pasadena, CA

Hello! My name is Emily, and I am a caring, dependable, and energetic childcare professional with over 3 years of experience working with children of all ages, including infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. As a preschool teacher, I have developed strong skills in creating safe, nurturing, and engaging environments where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. I am passionate about helping children reach developmental milestones through play-based learning, creative activities, outdoor exploration, reading, and positive encouragement. My classroom experience has taught me patience, organization, communication, and the ability to manage routines while meeting each child’s individual needs. Families describe me as trustworthy, responsible, and easy to communicate with. I understand the importance of building strong relationships with both children and parents, and I strive to provide reliable care that gives families peace of mind. In addition to childcare, I am happy to assist with homework help, school pick-ups and drop-offs, meal preparation, light housekeeping related to the children, and pet care. I love creating fun, meaningful experiences that help children feel confident, happy, and cared for. I am currently seeking a position where I can become a positive, supportive part of a family’s daily life.

“Emily was reliable and let me know every step taken. Was on time and oh so so sweet. My son's therapist who was there as well told me Emily was a great sitter! I'm giving her 5 HUGE stars! Thank you so much for your help. :D”

"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)."
