Hi! I'm Destiny! I've been babysitting and nannying for 11 years and have experience with overnights, full-time and part-time care, traveling, nanny pods, occasional babysitting, and watching over multiples (twins/ triplets) :) I have experience caring for all ages, from newborns to 15 years old, with the majority of my experience focused on newborns through 6-year-olds. This past year, I worked as a long-term Kindergarten substitute, and I'm currently working toward my teaching credential and Master's in Education. I enjoy working with children and getting to know their little personalities while building genuine, trusting connections. I'm patient, attentive, reliable, and responsible, while still being energetic and engaging. I love spending time outdoors, doing crafts, visiting museums, going on bike rides, and creating opportunities for kids to learn, have fun and just be kids. There’s no better feeling than hearing “you’re the best babysitter ever.” Looking forward to connecting with your family!

“Destiny immediately and naturally connected with all 3 of my kids ages 8-3, boys and girls. She jumped right in helping out with everything they needed while also being super fun with them. Our 8 yr old girl was sad when she was leaving and asked when she’d be back! Highly recommend ”

Booked by 9 families in La Crescenta, CA

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.

Hello, I'm Damaris! I have over 10 years of experience caring for children from 4 months to 15 years old, and I love what I do.

I also love animals, so pets are never a problem. I have an impeccable driving record and feel comfortable driving children to their activities. I will gladly provide excellent references upon request. My rate is flexible and depends on the job, hours, and responsibilities.

Hi my name is Mariah and I am a dancer/performing artist originally from Philadelphia, PA. I've been teaching dance to children ages 2-18 for about 10 years and was often the go-to family babysitter before moving to LA. I started working through Urban Sitter about 8 years ago as a nanny,babysitter, and tutor and have experience with all ages (infants-teenagers). I absolutely love working with children and am grateful for every opportunity I get to do so. With every job it is always my goal to provide a creative, active, safe and fun environment. I'm a natural performer/entertainer and children are honestly my favorite audience 🤗 ... Aside from dancing I love playing sports, reading, outdoor adventuring and fashion.

Hi! My name is Tiara,I’m 28 years old and located in Inglewood,CA A fun fact about me:I’m a chef and have owned my own catering business for the past 6 years! Being a chef has taught me to be organized,responsible,creative,and attentive to details—qualities I bring into every family I work with. I’ve always had a genuine love for caring for children of all ages,and I have younger siblings of my own,which has given me plenty of experience being patient,attentive,and nurturing.For me,babysitting is much more than simply keeping children safe.I want children to feel comfortable,cared for,entertained,and genuinely valued while they’re in my care. I’m dependable,warming,attentive,and a fast learner.I’m also big on communication and respecting family routines,expectations,and parenting style.I take the time to get to know each child—their personality,interests,comfort level,and what makes them feel secure. My goal is to build trusting relationships with both parents and children so that’s you feel comfortable,confident,and at ease while you’re away.I’d love the opportunity to become someone your family can rely on—not just for one sitting,but for the long term.

“Tiara was engaged and playful with our little guys. We plan to have her back! ”

"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."
