‼️ Looking for FULL TIME end of Oct 5th on - Newborn-5yrs old Baby I nannie'd from 4mo-21mo is going into full-time school 😘👧🏽 Available Date Nights M-Th/Sat/Sun *My journey in childcare began early, as I started looking after toddlers in Sunday School during my teen years. Fast forward, I've raised my own children, who are now 23 and 21 years old, alongside caring for my niece and nephew from infancy until they were ready for kindergarten. I have families I steadily babysit for & have also been a full time nanny. I'm easy to get along with & am prepared to handle any child emergency situation with focused calm. Having been a freelance artist for 22 years I bring A LOT of creativity into babies/children's lives! I have a clean Trustline background/driving record and am open to light cooking and picking up after the kiddos. I also totally LOVE animals as they are also a part of the family! I do babysitting all over LA have have family in OC so it's an easy 2-for-1 being in that area! My references will be MORE than happy to speak with you and hope to hear from you soon! 📱FaceTime/Zoom calls welcomed!

“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! 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!

Hi! My name is Selene and I’m a University of Berkeley, California graduate with a B.A. in psychology. I started sitting when I was 13 and supported families in my neighborhood with their kids. In college, I worked for a church’s childcare group (ages 4 months-4 years) and tutored children in Spanish and math. I have loads of experience with school aged children (3-10). My child related job experience includes working in a domestic violence shelter for mothers and children of all different ages. We tutored, mentored, and provided childcare in the shelter using a non violent empowerment model. I also worked with elementary school children and teenagers working as an after school aid at non profit that provides services to children in the mission. I’ve had a few long term tutoring and sitting jobs and am currently looking to support a few families at a need basis! I like to co create activities with the children im caring for that are developmentally appropriate. For example, I love to use textured toys and sensory activities for infants to improve dexterity and color recognition and for children 4-8, I love to play games that help them move and use their imagination. (Dance party anyone?) I would describe my baby sitting style as engaged, imaginative and collaborative.

"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."
