Aireon $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Aireon, and I’m a college student studying kinesiology with a strong interest in working with children and families. I offer childcare, household help, and support for busy households. I have experience working with kids through coaching and after-school programs, where I’ve helped supervise activities, keep kids engaged, and create a safe, positive environment. I enjoy being hands-on—whether that’s helping with homework, playing games, or keeping kids active and entertained. I’ve been babysitting newborns - 12+ since i was 14. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with light cleaning, organizing, running errands, and basic meal prep. I’m responsible, patient, and good at following routines while still being flexible when things change. I’m dependable, communicative, and take pride in being someone families can trust. I also love dogs and cats!

Isabella $19 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Isabella and I am a 18 year old part time college student at cal poly Pomona. I have 6 younger siblings so i definitely know how kids can be and I do have babysitting experience. I have 5 dogs who are my absolute joy. I am the child of a single father so I am responsible for cooking and cleaning meaning I do also have experience in those departments (I absolutely love cooking!). I have a lot of patience due to having many siblings , I’m always kind, I always have an upbeat attitude and even when something is wrong I always see the bright side in things, I do have work experience in Amazon which requires me to work at a fast pace in case I’m needed to. I hope you consider me because I do love taking care of children, pets, etc. I do hope to gain a career in the future that has something to do with being there for children so I really want to expand my resume :)

"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."
