Sittercity helps Carson families find the best child care providers

As a 36 year old Aunt of four children, I rarely get to see them as they live in Chicago. I do not have children of my own and it's difficult to fill that void. I have spent the last decade of my career in Corporate America and my moral compass has started to guide me in a different direction that better aligns with my skillset. Children and animals alike have the purest of hearts and as someone who is equal parts "girly girl" and an athletic Tomboy, I'm unique in that I can relate to just about any child and their interests. When I was living in Chicago, I cared for my sister's kids ~4days/week which included playing, helping with homework, tidying up, guiding, teaching and spreading laughter in the home. My Mother is a retired Oncology Nurse of 42 years and i'm grateful to have gotten her compassionate qualities. I've played nearly every sport, excelling in basketball, volleyball and soccer. I am a graduate of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champagne and was our head social chair. I have an insatiable zest for life, love to be of service and have patience to boot. I would love to work with a family that is in need of someone like me throughout the course of the week. I'm very easy going, dynamic and flexible. Please feel free to reach out at any time to learn more!

Hello! My name is Ebony Durham and I’m from Sacramento, CA and currently living in Los Angeles. I’m 29 years old. I have one older brother and one younger brother.

My babysitting career started when I was in middle school or high school where I used to babysit at my church and for my mom’s friends younger kids. As I started working and getting real jobs, I’ve always worked with children and youth. For example, I have worked for the Children's Defense Fund, Roberts Family Development Center (Sacramento, CA). My responsibilities included the completion of an intensive two-week training to learn curriculum development, researched best practices working with at-risk kids and created interactive learning games. I provided middle school students with educational enrichment through reading. In addition, taught students skills such as decision-making, teamwork, project based learning, and creativity. I have worked at the YWCA as a Child Advocate, San Bernardino YMCA and Riverside-Redlands Boys and Girls Club where I was a youth leader for their after school program where I work with grades K-5th grade. Lastly, I was a assistant teacher at Olive Crest Academy for middle school and high school. In addition to babysitting, I am available for online and in person tutoring grades K-5th grade in all subjects. 9th-college for editing and help writing papers.

Hi, my name is Mia Staten. I have worked with children from infant to teenage years as a nanny, teacher, coach and more.

I have an intuitive understanding of children, are aware of developmental milestones and are active, fun and great communicators. I have a knack for engaging with curious, intelligent children. Learning about your children and family is major for me and building a community around the child. I enjoy building games, and learning experiences based on the interest of the children and look forward to learning your children's likes and personality. My goal is to meet your children where they are and help them grow in all areas to reach their developmental goals as well as have fun.

I would love to be a babysitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and helping them learn, grow, and have fun. I enjoy creating a safe and positive environment where children can express themselves, explore their creativity, and feel cared for. It's rewarding to be a positive influence in their lives and to support both them and their families. As a college student studying dance, I believe creativity is one of my greatest strengths, and it can be a big asset when babysitting. I love using my artistic skills to engage kids in imaginative activities, whether it's through dance, storytelling, or crafts. My background in dance also gives me a unique ability to encourage movement and physical expression in fun and active ways, helping children stay engaged while nurturing their creativity. Babysitting allows me to combine my passion for creativity with my desire to make a positive impact on kids' lives.

Hello, my name is Elizabeth. I am currently pursuing a degree in Communications and will be transferring to study International Business. I recently left my full-time employment to return to school. I have experience working with children aged 3 to 27 years. Previously, I supported adolescents and adults with special needs, including physical, developmental, behavioral/emotional, and sensory-impaired challenges at a private school in Northern California and independently. Most recently, I was employed at a non-profit organization, where I worked with youth who are survivors of human trafficking. I am in the process of transitioning my career and have recently relocated to Southern California. My recent role at the non-profit was both mentally and physically exhausting. While I truly enjoy being creative, expressive, and helpful, I am looking for a part-time job that allows me to continue making a positive impact while teaching valuable life lessons in a natural and everyday context. Hit me up for an interview, and see if I am a good fit for you and your family. Look forward to meeting you and answering any questions you have.

Hi, I’m Joy, a dependable caregiver with 15+ years of experience supporting children of all ages through roles at the YMCA, Disney Cruise Line, UCI, and in EdTech. I’ve led before- and after-school programs, camps, and family services, consistently bringing structure, creativity, and care to each setting. I recently completed a 4-year role as a part-time nanny for a family and am now available for weekday and select weekend care in the Long Beach area. I love engaging children through hands-on, screen-free activities like arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, music, and reading. I focus on creating calm, safe environments where kids feel supported and excited to learn. Whether caring for an infant, guiding a toddler through daily routines, or supporting a school-aged child with homework and social-emotional development, I tailor my approach to each child’s needs. I’m happy to assist with school drop-offs, pick-ups, light meals, homework, and pet care. I prioritize open communication and build strong, trusting relationships with every family. If you're looking for a calm, reliable caregiver who’s truly invested in your child’s well-being, I’d love to connect!
