Hello families! During the day, I am a Substitute Teacher for K-12 charter schools. In addition, I am a Tutor specializing in ESL, ELA and Reading Comprehention. I have a Master's degree in Teaching English as a Foreign Language and I've served in the Peace Corps as a TEFL Teacher and Trainer (Ukraine, 2[removed], and Uzbekistan 2002-2005. ) I am a very caring, fun and creative caregiver who thinks outside of the box! I like to create fun activities to keep the kids busy and engaged. Not a big fan of Tech for play or entertainment! I prefer Reading books/Storytelling, Arts & Crafts, Games, Outdoor Play, Music & Movement for the little ones (play a little bit of guitar), and Cooking. Lastly, I like helping out with pets and have experience with Seniors as well!
“Vickie has been our go-to person for house/dog sitting for approximately 15 years. She is responsible, reliable, clean, and trustworthy with kids and fur-babies. She has a vast experience with kids, typical and special needs, which is how we first came to know Vickie. Taking care of our dog was yet another positive and rewarding experience. We know call Vickie our good friend. We highly recommend her for Urban Sitters.”
I've done childcare at my church for years, from babies to toddler age. I'm a grandma of two beautiful granddaughters (both under one years old) and love taking care of kids!
Hi! My name is Emma, I have earned my Associate degree in Early Childhood Education at Pasadena City College in June 2025. I am currently studying Early Childhood Studies at Cal Poly Pomona, and I am also halfway through my AMI Montessori training program. These experiences are helping me deepen my understanding of child development and early education. I’m offering child care services and have experience working with children from 6 months to 10 years old. I’ve been babysitting since I was 17, and I truly love caring for young children, supporting their development, and creating fun, engaging experiences for them. As the oldest of four sisters, I’ve always been around little ones and naturally took on a caregiving role from a young age. It definitely sparked my love for working with children and helped shape who I am today—patient, nurturing, and always ready to help. I am CPR and First Aid certified (as of January 2025), and I’ve also observed Montessori classrooms, so I’m familiar with child-led learning and respectful caregiving approaches. I’m originally from France and speak both French and English fluently. Some of my favorite things to do with kids include baking, arts and crafts, outdoor play, and helping with homework or reading. I’m creative, patient, and very reliable, and I always aim to create a safe and joyful environment for children to grow. Please feel free to reach out if you’d like to learn more or schedule a time to chat. I’d love to meet you and your little one(s)!
Hello my name is Arianna & I am a child development graduate from CSULA. I have experience working with elementary, middle, and high school students primarily in school settings. I’ve worked for after school programming and provided enrichment activities and tutoring. I’m interested in babysitting even though I’ve had no experience. However, being in schools feels very much like it. Thank you for the opportunity!
Hi! My name is Marianna. I am offering child care and household services. I enjoy working with kids. Before coming back to school full time I worked with KIPP as an after school instructor for elementary and middle school students. At KIPP some of my favorite activities to do with the kids included arts and crafts and fun outdoor activities! I am also available for household duties such as cooking, cleaning, and running errands.

"Caitlin was awesome and jumped right in to chaperone four girls (10, 9, 8 and 6) at a family wedding (they were bridesmaids) and she was very helpful with the event as well as taking them home and putting them to bed."
Lila P., parent

"McKenna was great with our 3 year old son! She came prepared with a box of fun activities and handled playing, dinner, and bedtime seamlessly... and it was all at our hotel while we were in town for a wedding. Thank you McKenna!"
