$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Liz! I have a bachelor’s degree from UCLA, and I’m currently in the process of applying to graduate school for Clinical Psychology. I’ve always enjoyed being in supportive roles, whether that’s caring for kids, being there for older family members, or taking care of pets. Over the years, I’ve spent time caring for children of different ages in both personal and work settings. I have several years of nannying and babysitting experience and for the past decade, I’ve worked in the entertainment industry as a talent manager, supporting young clients and their families. I also recently helped care for my grandfather during his battle with end stage Alzheimer’s, which really shaped how I think about patience and being present. Animals have always been part of my life. I grew up with both cats and dogs and still pet sit and house sit for friends and neighbors whenever they need a hand. I’m calm, dependable, and genuinely enjoy being helpful wherever I can, whether that means spending time with little ones, supporting seniors, keeping a household running smoothly, or making sure pets are well cared for.

“I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy babysitter! She has watched our 2- and 4-year-old boys on several occasions, whether for date nights or when we’ve needed extra help. She’s wonderful with both of them, and it’s such a relief knowing they’re in good hands while we’re away. She’s patient, attentive, and genuinely great with kids. We always feel comfortable leaving our boys in her care and are so grateful to have someone we can trust!”

Dalisa $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My name is Dalisa and I'm currently attending Cal State Fullerton University working towards getting my PhD degree in social work. I am offering child care, house sitting, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since I was 15 years old. I also work with kids with special needs currently at different school districts K-12. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and ABA skills and assistance. I also can assist with cooking and clean. I have good experience with cleaning and organizing. I have been working with kids for 4 years at school districts and have cared for my own family members when I was a teenager and am comfortable with other tasks that you or child may need. (I love working with all ages and love helping people is it what I am most passionate about!) I am allergic to cats but happy to work with families with dogs.

"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."
