“For the last 18 months, Evelyn has been an incredibly important part of our family, and it is hard to imagine our daughter's early years without her.As our daughter prepares to start school shortly after her second birthday, we find ourselves reflecting on just how much Evelyn has contributed to her growth, happiness, and development. Simply put, we could not have asked for a better nanny.From day one, our daughter (Baby A) absolutely adored Evelyn. She warmed to her immediately, and watching their bond develop has been one of the greatest joys of the past year and a half. Evelyn brings a special combination of warmth, confidence, creativity, wisdom, and pure joy that children naturally gravitate toward. What makes Evelyn so exceptional is that she truly understands children.One of the most impactful things she did was teach Baby A sign language before she could talk. The difference was remarkable. Our daughter was able to communicate her needs, feelings, and thoughts long before she had words, which dramatically reduced frustration and gave her an incredible sense of confidence. We now tell every parent we know that babies should learn sign language, and we have Evelyn to thank for showing us firsthand how transformative it can be.She also guided us through countless milestones and transitions. When Evelyn started, our daughter strongly disliked tummy time. Evelyn somehow knew exactly how to make it fun and engaging. Later, she helped us navigate getting off the bottle, potty training, and all the other developmental transitions that come with raising a toddler. She always approached challenges with patience, creativity, and a deep understanding of child development. Evelyn is wonderfully whimsical in a way that feels straight out of a storybook. She would create sock puppets out of nowhere, invent water-play activities, dream up art projects, and find creative ways to turn ordinary days into adventures. Her artistic talent is extraordinary, and she brought so much imagination and wonder into our daughter's life. As parents, one of the things we appreciated most was how communicative and trustworthy she was. Evelyn truly partnered with us. She listened carefully to our hopes and preferences for our daughter and always respected them. We never had to worry about what our daughter was eating, what activities she was participating in, or whether our wishes were being followed. We trusted her completely. The McKinney Family,”
Hi! As a babysitter / nanny of 15+ years, I enjoy spending my free time working with children. I am multilingual and have 6+ years experience volunteering as a certified EMT/crew chief/ambulance driver. I am trained for potential medical emergencies and versed in CPR for infants, children, and adults. Throughout middle and high school, I worked at Kumon Math and Reading Center and helped kids, as young as toddlers and as old as teens, improve their reading, writing, and math skills and build their self-confidence in school. I have cared for children as young as a few weeks old to thirteen years old and as such, am well versed across sleep training, swaddling, homework, and more! Kids never fail to amaze me and whether it is their brutal honesty or their insightful comments, caring for them allows me to indulge in what I am best: a kid at heart. Professionally, I work in music helping produce artists in the studio. I look forward to meeting your family! Booking Policy: 3 hour minimum for jobs
Hi Families, My name is Stephanie and I have over six years of experience caring for children as a babysitter and nanny. With the past two years focused on working in preschool and daycare settings as a substitute teacher’s aide. The past two years have been mostly focused on learning more about infant development and how to support their growth. I’ve really enjoyed being able to support the little ones , as they start learning from a very young age. Some of my responsibilities have included bottle feeding, solid food feeding, tummy time, age-appropriate activities, and following safe sleep practices. I have 18 early childhood education units, including infant and toddler development, and I’ve completed newborn care courses. Comfortable with pets. I speak fluent Spanish & CPR certified. Thank you, and I look forward to connecting with your family!
“Stephanie was so calm and caring. My daughter loved her and can’t wait to have her back. ”
Hi! I’m Lesley. I’ve cared for children of different ages over the years and have been lucky to build relationships with several wonderful families, including families who have invited me back regularly. I really enjoy getting to know each child’s personality and helping them feel comfortable, happy, and safe while their parents are away. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I’m happy to follow the routines that work best for your family. Depending on your child’s interests, we might spend our time playing games, making crafts, reading, getting outside, or working on homework. I’m also comfortable helping with meals, bedtime, and other daily routines. Alongside babysitting, I’ve worked professionally in business and operations for several years. That experience has made me very organized, communicative, and comfortable handling unexpected situations calmly—but when I’m with children, my focus is always on making sure they feel cared for and have a good time. A little more about me: I love traveling, staying active, exploring Los Angeles, and spending time at home with my two cats. I’m an animal lover and am very comfortable in homes with cats or dogs. I know how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your children, and I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!
I’m a university student at USC who genuinely loves working with children and supporting families. I’ve spent most of my life volunteering and working in programs that care for kids, and those experiences have shaped my patience, kindness, and understanding. I believe every child deserves a safe, fun, and encouraging environment where they feel happy to learn and grow. I’m responsible, positive, and attentive, and I enjoy creating activities, helping with routines, and making sure kids feel supported and cared for. I also drive, so I’m happy to help with pickups, activities, or errands when needed. Families often describe me as dependable, warm, and someone who brings a calm and uplifting energy. I truly enjoy building meaningful connections with children and being someone families can trust and rely on.

"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."
Michelle R., mom of two
"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."
Milena L., mom of two
"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."
Heather B., mom of two
