Karen $15 per hour for 1 child

The reason why my rates are so low compared to other is because I know the struggle of needing childcare and having no support . I work with kids on the spectrum supporting children from 5-12 years old with behaviors. I have experience with ages ranging from newborn - 12 years old . I am a big listener when it comes to parents expectations of a nanny to their children . My goal is that you feel comfortable leaving your children with me knowing that they are being taken care of the way you would want them to be. The downside about me is that I’m allergic to dogs and cats :( Contact[removed]427

Daniel $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi y'all! My name is Daniel, and I am a 23-year-old recent graduate. I graduated in December 2024 from the University of Northern Colorado with a B.S. in Mathematics, with an emphasis in Middle School Education. A native Coloradan, I relocated to Los Angeles in January of this year and moved in with my long-term girlfriend, who was attending SCA at USC (she graduated this spring semester, yay!). My life and professional experiences have given me the tools and knowledge necessary to provide childcare and household services. I am also open to providing other services. I own (2022 Corolla) and am able to operate a car. I am also great with technology, speak fluent Spanish, and am even willing to offer math tutoring. More info about me below :) As I mentioned earlier, my degree is in middle school math education. Throughout my university program, I completed clinical practices within middle school classrooms and one high school classroom. In the fall semester of 2024, I completed my student-teaching practice, which I credit as my most impactful learning experience in terms of classroom management, pedagogy, and generally aiding kids. I received my initial teaching licensure from the state of Colorado. In Los Angeles, I have done limited substitute work after a lengthy process to transfer my credentials. Although limited in work, I have had the opportunity to work with younger students as I have substituted for first-grade classes and an after-school program that served first- and second-graders. Aside from my teaching experience, I am also a HUGE 'girl-uncle'. I have four nieces and 2 nephews in total, but the youngest are my three nieces. The 11 y/o I babysat weekly during summers in middle and high school when she was a toddler and kid. During the school year, I would watch her after school for a couple of hours before my brother could pick her up after work. The next youngest girls, 4 y/o and 1.5 y/o, I have also babysat in some capacity, but less as I was in college and I have since moved out of state.

Hi! I’m Mary, a student at Mount Saint Mary’s University in Los Angeles. I’ve been babysitting since I was around 9 years old when I became an aunt, and I’ve cared for all my nieces, nephews, and family friends’ kids over the years. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, patient, and caring — I love keeping kids engaged through fun activities, crafts, and playtime while making sure they’re safe and happy. Families can always count on me to be reliable, warm, and attentive.

"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."
