Dolly $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Dolly. I live in Gardena and I’m looking just a part time gigs. I am in the market for childcare, senior care, and household services I have a full time job as an entry writer and a part time working as a barista. I am looking to slowly transition this role out. I grew up in a family of 3 siblings being the oldest, which pretty much meant I had to continuously look after my siblings and take care of them. I also tend to do some babysitting for family members when needed.I am great with kids, pets, and seniors. I can offer assistance as transportation, cooking, cleaning, running errands, and such as needed tasks.

Cameron $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Cameron and I'm looking to babysit any age! I have worked with children from 1mo-13 years old. I've been working at an after school program teaching kindergarten for the past 2 years. This job consists of childcare, meals, and teaching all subjects! I absolutely adore kids and love the bonds that get created. I'm looking for a family that would be willing to let me watch their children, but also strengthen their brain with non- screen time activities! I have kittys and dogs at home, so I am more than comfortable taking care of your fur babies too! In 2027 I will be starting my nursing school and I hope to be a labor and delivery or nicu nurse. In the mean time, I'd love to be energetic and help your family out! My rate is 25/hr for 1 child, and for every extra child +5/hr. I look forward to getting in touch, answering your questions, and setting up a meet and greet to see if we fit!

Alexis $28 per hour for 1 child

I have several years of experience working with children, including 3 years working at a preschool with children ages 1–4, as well as experience babysitting. Through my work, I’ve gained hands-on experience with daily routines, playtime, meals, nap time, potty training, and helping children learn and develop in a safe and nurturing environment. I’m patient, caring, responsible, and dependable. I understand that every child is different, so I always try to create a comfortable environment where they feel heard, supported, and encouraged. I’m also very hands-on and enjoy coming up with fun activities, crafts, games, and age-appropriate ways to keep children engaged. I’m comfortable helping with everyday household tasks related to childcare as well, such as preparing simple meals, cleaning up after activities, and keeping play areas organized. My experience working in a preschool has taught me how to stay calm, attentive, and organized while caring for multiple children, and I genuinely love being around kids and watching them grow.

"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."
