Hello! I’m glad to have the opportunity to present myself! I graduated as an early childhood teacher and also experienced teaching and taking care of children and teenagers of all ages. I appreciate being around kids, exchanging experiences and sharing. It’s always fun! For me, being a childcare provider makes me feel like I’m making a difference in the kid’s life, adding to them by giving them attention, showing them they deserve to be loved, respected and taken care of. People often give me compliments on how patient I am with kids, and I always answer with “that’s because I respect the kids’ time”. They have their own time, and why hurry them when they’ll have a whole adult life to do that? I enjoy every single part of being with kids, taking them places, listening to their stories, cooking with them, eating, chatting, doing crafts, reading stories… I feel privileged to have those gifts and to have the opportunity to be in a small part of children’s stories.

I simply enjoy the innocent energy of infants, babies, toddlers, children, pre-teens and teenagers. They are like precious battery chargers to me. I will care for your children/children as if they are my own. I have 40 years of sitting experience and tons of references. I recently moved to L.A. from FL, for my last employment I was with a family for 6 years until both children were school age. I stay in communication with almost all of the families over the years. Amazing to watch them grow into adults with careers. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I'm a divorced empty-nester, so my schedule is wide-open for your convenience. My 21 yr old daughter lives in the same bldg as me, which shows just how loving my maternal instincts are. I have a car and am willing to babysit up to 8-10 miles from Miracle Mile LA. I am also available days and/or evenings on the weekend. Please note - I have a 4 hour minimum. I am willing to travel on family vacations upon request.

Hi! I have been babysitting/nannying (ages newborn to 13 yrs old) for the past 7 years and have plenty of references of amazing moms who I’ve worked for in that time. They know me well, which may be helpful to any new families since I’m fairly new to Sittercity! I absolutely love my job providing childcare and through the years of experience, I have only gained more love for what I do. I am calm, patient, kind, and always working to keep the children I care for safe and having fun! I’m happy to meet in person or through video call to answer any questions and see if I’d be a good fit for your family!

I am entering my second year as a First Grade Teacher and was previously a preschool teacher for 13 years. I have been babysitting on and off for the last 18 years. I am the oldest of 4 so one can say I started babysitting even earlier. I love working with children and viewing the world through their eyes.

I have about 27 yrs of experience. I just love, love, love, babies and children, and have worked with all ages, from newborns to teenagers! I have 15 units of Child Development. I have worked at a daycare and for LA and Pasadena Unified School Districts and because of this, I consider myself an infant and toddler teacher because I gained a lot of experience as one. I have a lot of fun and exciting age-appropriate learning activities that the children enjoy! I know and teach some baby signs and Spanish to the children that I work with. I also teach phonics and other pre-reading/reading skills along with sight words, digraphs, and blends. I also teach beginners addition and subtraction in a fun way! So the children that I work with are always smarter and ready for preschool and/or kindergarten.

I have been with Sitter City for almost 2 years and have been very fortunate to provide my services to many incredible families whose children I just adore! In August 2024, I held a substitute position at a daycare, helping to care for 12 little ones under 2 years old. I do children and pets well. I love playing traditional board games, doing puzzles, reading stories - Dr. Seuss is my best friend! Singing songs, going out for walks, playing in the park and creating fun adventures.

Hello, Sittercity Parents! I am a childcare professional and enrichment arts educator with several years of experience in providing childcare and early childhood arts education. I have enjoyed providing childcare for UrbanSitter families for over 10 years. I am also an experienced pet sitter. I relocated to Los Angeles, CA near Larchmont Village in the summer of 2020 after residing in Chicago for nearly 20 years, where I taught music and movement arts classes during the school year. I have experience working with families who use gentle parenting and a blend of Waldorf, Reggio Emilia, and Montessori approaches in their parenting style. My ECE and responsive caregiving approach is rooted in providing children with a safe, nurturing and developmentally appropriate space to wonder and discover through guided and child-led purposeful play. I also have a host of back pocket open-ended activities that can be readily adapted to align with your child's needs and interests. Please feel free to reach out to me to discuss how I may be able to suit your childcare needs. I look forward to having the opportunity to share my love and passion for early childcare and arts education with you and your family. :) Certifications/Education: B.A. in Theater, Columbia College Chicago; 12 Early Childhood Education CR; Pediatric First Aid CPR/AED, American Heart Association; 30 Day Substitute Teaching Permit. *Up to date on Covid 19 and flu vaccinations. *I have a 3 hour babysitting minimum for nearby families (4 hour minimum for service areas over 2 miles away), and an 8 hour max for one-time and short term recurring jobs. *Cash payment is ok, but Venmo, Zelle, CashApp or credit card payments via Urbansitter.com are preferred. Cancellation Policy: My cancellation policy is case by case, as I want to be fair and sensitive to whatever seems reasonable under each cancellation circumstance. If I am able to find another job to replace the canceled job, I don't expect any compensation. Because I do turn down other work and also rely on the anticipated income earned from UrbanSitter jobs booked more than a week in advance, I typically request payment for 50% of the total hours for the cancelled booking (unless I am able to find another job to replace the cancelled job).
