Raquel $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Raquel, and I’m a loving mom offering babysitting in a safe, nurturing home environment. As a parent myself, I understand how important it is to find someone patient, attentive, and trustworthy to care for your little one. I have hands-on daily experience caring for infants and young children and focus on creating a calm, fun, and structured space where kids feel comfortable and cared for. I enjoy age-appropriate play, reading, tummy time, and helping little ones stay on their routines. I’d love to connect and see if I’m a good fit for your family!

Hi my name is Erika I have been a nanny since 2006. I have worked with multiple families over the years. Working with children from as little as a newborn to age 13. I love working with children and doing outdoor activities like going on walks to the park or play dates with other children. As well as taking them to activities or sports parents may have in place for them. I also like to teach the kids I work with some Spanish as it is my first language. I am also certified in CPR and first aid.

Hi! My name is Elliot, I'm 19 and im majoring in psychology at California State university. My two first semesters there I made the deans list. I'm a good communicator, very creative, and very punctual. I've also been driving for about a year now and I'm happy to run errands!

Samantha Rose $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Acton, CA

Hi there! I’m a native New Yorker who loves personalities of all kinds! I started caregiving when I was 10 years old looking after my two younger brothers and have been babysitting ever since. Later on, I moved on to caring for my grandmother as she made her journey through Alzheimer’s. I pride myself in connecting with children as their friends and older sibling rather than as a figure of authority—I find it makes it easier to help them and keep them under control! My background is in the arts so I always like to push children to explore their creative sides. I’m available most evenings and for overnights with the occasional morning and early afternoon. I’m here to make your life easier!

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
