Booked by 2 families in Santa Monica, CA

Hi my name is Krystal. I am a small business owner and skater. I offer childcare, senior care, and household services. I love taking care of children and have been doing so since I was 13 years old. I have been both a nanny and a camp counselor for nearly 10 years. I am also a household assistant and can clean and run errands. More recently I have spent a lot of time with seniors in my old neighborhood and am very comfortable with senior care. I have 2 cats of my own and plan to get a dog in the future but love taking care of others pets as well.

Anne $30 per hour for 1 child

I've recently taken a break from running operations for tech startups on the East Coast, and relocated from Boston, MA to sunny Los Angeles! As I've settled into West Coast life, I've enjoyed building a practice of home care, dog sitting, personal assistance, and household services. I have clientele from Long Beach to Santa Monica to the Hollywood Hills and have helped them with childcare, pet care, errands, house cleaning, cooking, scheduling, driving and small business support. Personally, I'm a proud dog mom of Riley, a 3 year old Belgian Shepherd, and Skipper, a 5 year old Shih Tzu; and an even prouder aunt to 10 year old Teagan and 7 year old Avery.

Lisa $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Lisa. My sister and I are currently in the beginning stages of our digital/design business, (I have a degree in Multimedia Design) and we also teach private and group art lessons as well, which gives my schedule flexibility. I'm also free in the evenings until late and on weekends. (I offer child care, senior care, and pet care as well!) I am very patient, protective, bubbly, and empathetic. Kids have so much joy, creativity and curiosity which is why I love working with kids. I have 8 years of babysitting experience. I have also worked at an after school program with 4-7 year olds which I enjoyed immensely, combining learning with games/activities and lots of art. My responsibilities have included taking kids to the park, playing boardgames, art & crafts, playing basketball, handball, tutoring, preparing meals, story time, and bedtime routine.

Natale $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Natále, a musician, writer, and creative community builder with a lifelong connection to caring for children. All the women in my family (my grandmother, stepmother, and aunts) have run daycares for as long as I can remember, so I’ve been surrounded by kids (and helping with them) since I was one myself. Over the years, I’ve worked as a camp counselor, voice coach for youth, and mentor for young creatives. I love helping children express themselves through music, art, and storytelling while also creating a calm and safe environment where they feel seen and supported. Beyond childcare, I host community gatherings centered on connection and creativity, so bringing people together comes naturally to me. Families describe me as intuitive, reliable, and deeply caring. I believe in nurturing imagination and self-expression just as much as structure. I’m comfortable caring for kids of all ages, assisting with homework, organizing creative play, and supporting household needs or pets. Most importantly, I treat each family I work with as an extension of my own, bringing warmth, patience, and positive energy into their space.

"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."
