Find experienced child care providers in San Marino, CA

I can’t think of a time in my life where I haven’t been surrounded by children. Born the third of seven in Chicago, my love for “little humans” was inevitable. Throughout my entire life, I have been a childcare provider but more consistently in the last 15 years. My jobs have ranged from being a full time nanny to a one year old to a babysitter of 3. My outgoing personality and background in the arts helps me to connect w/the imaginative and creative sides that all children have. I have a passion for life and the future generation, which is why childcare is where you'll find me. I have extensive experience in caring for infants, babies, toddlers, as well as through school-age children. I am a non-smoker, non-drinker and fully vaccinated. Be it a few hours or something more permanent, I would love to be a part of your extended family.

I am a warm, loving and compassionate person who loves children. I don't have any of my own right now, but I definitely see them in my future. I have tons of child care experience with children of all different ages. I don't mind running errands or doing light housework. I am very prompt, personable and responsible.

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!

Hi There! I’m interested in caring for your child/children. I’m experienced with infants/toddlers and preschool/ elementary age children. It’s not easy to trust somebody with your child, but your little one will be happy and safe with me. I provide safe childcare; my references will vouch for me: they love me! I’m attentive to the needs of the children, and can adjust based on what is age appropriate. I do enjoy reading to young children, especially toddlers and pre school age children. Ive taught a few to read before entering kindergarten. I like using flash cards to teach colors, animals, shapes, numbers and the alphabet. Walks to the park, and enjoying the outdoors/nature is also fun.(weather permitting) INFANTS: happy to prepare bottles, feed baby, change diapers, and swaddle baby. I’ll wash all baby dishes, baby laundry, and keep the nursery clean and organized. TODDLERS: prepare meals/snacks, wash toddler dishes, keep play area clean. Happy to do light housework, depending on our arrangement. I’m fully vaccinated/boosted. I’m infant/child CPR certified. Let’s chat, and see if I’m a good fit for your family! :)

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.

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.

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).

I simply enjoy the innocent energy of infants, babies, toddlers and children. They are like precious battery chargers to me. I will care for your bundle of joy as if she/he/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 travel up to 10 miles. I am also available days/evenings on the weekend. Please note - I have a 4 hour minimum.

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've 7 years experience working with infants and toddlers, I'm educated and CPR certified. Very passionate about childcare and love children. Flexible for time and schedule and super caring and responsible about the children and families who trust me 🙏
