Susan $35 per hour for 1 child

Hello. I have many years of experience as I have been a sitter on and off since I was in middle school. I have twin nieces who are 5 who I have been sitting since they were preemies, along with my nephew who is 2. I have two children, ages 18 and 11, which has also given me invaluable experience. I absolutely adore babies! I also love supporting young minds to learn and grow through play and constructive activities. I am kind, patient, and make any child who I spend time around feel heard, loved, and supported. I currently work a full-time government job. However, I would like to get back to what I love, which is being outside of an office and supporting/building community. Spending my days with a little one would not feel like work at all, and I greatly look forward to the opportunity! Thank you for your time.

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.

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!

Cleonix $27 per hour for 1 child

I am a 26 year old South Bay resident passionate about childcare and my local community! I’ve always been proud to be the person families call when they need someone they can count on- especially when life gets busy, unpredictable, or just a little chaotic. I’m confident and comfortable caring for children as young as six months all the way up to teens. I aim to always bring a calm, positive presence to the home. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your child with someone- and I fully show up for that responsibility. I’m dependable, always on time, and genuinely care about becoming a supportive part of your family’s day-to-day. I am also experienced and comfortable with working alongside parents who are at home while I provide care. I know how helpful it can be to have a second set of hands to care for your children! At the same time, I bring warmth, fun, and creativity to the time I spend with kids. I focus on age-appropriate play that encourages imagination, independence, and confidence. Whether it’s storytelling, art, make-believe games, or getting outside for movement and fresh air, I love helping kids stay curious, joyful, and engaged. I know that these early years are so important to set them up to be the best adult versions of themselves one day. I also have a creative background- I earned my degree in Communications from UC Santa Barbara and have worked as a freelance photographer and creative communicator. That side of me comes out naturally when I’m with kids, whether it’s through art projects or fun crafts or story time. I know how much it means to find someone who fits seamlessly into your world and makes life feel a little easier- and I’d love to help your family!

"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."
