My name is Ashley and I have been working with children from infants to school age for the past 15 years as a preschool teacher. I have an AA in Early Childhood Education and have First Aid/CPR training. I currently work as a nutrition and breastfeeding counselor on weekdays. I love kids and I have always had a passion for education. I decided I wanted to be a teacher when I was 5 years old. I’m a big kid at heart so I love making up silly songs and being playful. I am a mom to three daughters. In my spare time I like to knit, crochet and write poetry. Starting rate for 5yrs+ $22 3.5 - 5yrs $23 2 - 3.5yrs $24 1 - 2yrs $25 Under 1 $26 *Each additional child will be +$4 **Rates may vary by case or be based on needs of the child. ***Cancellation Policy*** I require at least 24 hours notice for cancellations. Less than 24 hours notice will be charged 50% of booking rate. You may reschedule your booking with no cancellation penalty, subject to availability. ***Interview Policy*** At this time, I am only offering phone or virtual interviews. If you prefer an in person interview, I would need to be paid for my time. With Love, Ashley :)

“Ashley is a phenomenal educator and caregiver. She cares for our girls and we were blown away by her focus on not just caring for our girls but developing them by creating a needs based plan customised to their stage of development. Our little girl went from saying very little to speaking and communicating her needs effectively after just one week with Ashley. We especially value Ashley taking the time to observe our kiddos and apply her experience as an educator to let us know what’s normal during this stage of development. Her approach is nurturing and her calm demeanour has helped our kiddo develop tools to address challenging tasks. She also brings a calm presence to the house. Ashley is extremely organized and provides a helping hand. She’s communicative, punctual, and extremely reliable.”

Booked by 8 families in Harbor City, CA

As the oldest sister of eight siblings my story life helped me to develop the skills to care for kids of all ages, evolving into a problem-solving patient caregiver. In my youth, I started volunteering as a babysitter and tutoring in my community. Later, I went to medical school and graduated as an International Medical graduate in Ecuador, I am currently volunteering at Yale School of Medicine conducting remote research on child development while studying to take the exams for the US medical license. While in college, I practiced Andean folkloric ballet as a professional dancer which aided to sharpen my skillset for teamwork and leadership, expanding my creativity which comes in handy in activities for kids. I am fluent in English and a native Spanish speaker, so I could tutor kids teaching Spanish if it’s an interest of their parents for them to become polylingual. I am also an adept pet house sitter and enjoy gardening. I have professional knowledge on nutrition and am passionate about children's well-being and healthy lifestyles. I am a loving aunty of four cuties, and I like to keep up to date with the animated movies to be able to give them my point of view on their topics while reading fantasy books to them as much as I can. I aspire to become a pediatric surgical oncologist, and will be applying for pediatric and surgical residency programs for 2027. I have a very flexible schedule until then. Looking forward to working with you!

“Karina was wonderful--kind, patient, playful and funny, with a calm energy that made my children trust and enjoy her presence. She handled everything beautifully. She is reliable, resourceful, grounded, and composed. We will definitely work with her again! Amazing sitter!”

Hi there! My name is Sabrina, and I’m a graphic designer living near Hermosa Beach. Originally from Oahu, I moved to Los Angeles to attend Pepperdine University and graduated in 2019. I have over 15 years of experience working with children in various roles, including as a day camp counselor, tutor, and nanny. I truly miss working with children, which is why I’m excited to rejoin Urbansitter. I’d love to create a positive, nurturing environment for your child. Please feel free to reach out—thank you!
