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.

Hi parents! 😊 My name is Nancy, and I’d love to help with your childcare, senior care, or pet care needs! I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and creating a fun, engaging, and comfortable environment for them. I love getting kids involved in activities such as reading, coloring, board games, arts & crafts, and other age-appropriate activities. I also have tutoring experience and have volunteered with a nonprofit organization supporting children from underserved communities through after-school programs. I’m also a big animal lover and am happy to care for both cats and dogs! A little about me: I have a BA in Business Administration and Documentary Film Production. I’m also fluent in Spanish. I’m responsible, caring, patient, and always strive to make sure both children and parents feel comfortable and confident in my care. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I’d love to connect and see if I’m a good fit for your family! Thank you, Nancy

Hello, I'm a college graduate from UCLA with a degree in marine biology. I am now completely abandoning that and pursuing a career in television production, as many in Los Angeles do. I went to high school at Notre Dame Academy all girls catholic school in West LA. I have been watching children for over 12 years and before that took care of my younger sister. I am CPR certified, love playing games, singing, and would be honored to sit for you. Thank you in advance! I take venmo, and my rates go up for travel over 10 miles, depending on the length of the commute, and for holidays. My cancellation policy is within 24 hours, after that inquiring a 50% fee of the original time requested.

“Molly was great! She accepted my last minute booking and was patient and kind with my cranky toddler. ”

Hi there! I’m Kayla and I bring over 13 years of childcare experience to your family. Whether you need a consistent part-time nanny or a reliable sitter for date nights, my goal is to provide an engaging environment where your children can thrive. What I Bring to Your Family: * Extensive infant experience with bottle feeding, introducing solids, nap schedules, and potty training. * A background as an arts and nature teacher. I love guiding kids through outdoor exploration and creative play. * I have a clean driving record, a fully insured vehicle, and I’m a firm believer in punctuality. * From library trips and park adventures to baking and reading, I love being active with the kids in my care. I aim to be a seamless addition to your parenting team. While I have a standard rate, I’m always happy to discuss what works best for your family’s specific needs. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones!

“Kayla was early, giving us time to review instructions, answer any questions. Both minis took to her quickly. My 4 year old wanted to give her 100 stars, he looks forward to seeing her again.”

"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."
