Hi! My name is Delfina, I’m from Argentina, I moved to California to study in UCLA. For the past 5 years I,ve been working in Aspen, Colorado as a Ski Instructor for Kids 6 & Under. I love kids and I consider myself to be very patient. I also babysat for many families while in Aspen, after the ski lesson kids love to go ice skating or for ice cream! I’m a fan of the mountains, love skiing and doing staff outdoors, but also like staying inside reading a good book :)
I keep my calendar updated! Quick facts! I live in Mid City but always glad to commute if needed. Allergic to cats, but if I take a claritin before I'm fine, just please let me know if you have them so I can prepare! It makes a huge difference for me. :') Joined Urban Sitter in college and built very long relationships. I work a 9-5 but have flexibility working remotely! Experience: I've been on Urban Sitter for almost 10 years. 😱 Additionally, I have three nephews that are now aged 8, 6 and 10 months. Been a part of every (brick by brick) step for all three of them, and it's been a joy. I really enjoy watching kids grow, especially at 4-6 months when they start getting smiley and laugh-y. Lots of infant and tollder experience...bathing, feeding (formula, frozen breastmilk, solids) naps, bedtime, diapers... When it comes to rules/discipline, I'll honor your requests (screen time, homework, activities, etc). Hopefully needless to say am not physical... when it comes to discipline I'll usually go for avoiding any stressful triggers, distracting, talking through feelings, etc. More about me... in my free time I like to watch movies, read, and practice piano! Currently in a data career pivot where I’m working pretty hard on my laptop during the week, with the benefits of being flexible and remote, and I've really been enjoying it.
“Vanessa’s skill with kids is unmatched - she made an instant connection with my 4yo daughter when they met for the first time on a trip we took to Mexico City. Her patience, tenderness and creativity was a marvel to witness, and she gracefully supported my little one’s occasional meltdowns. My daughter is so excited for the next time she gets to play with auntie Vanessa!”
COVID-VACCINATED* Hello dear family, I would like to share some things about me, my experience and why I really like babysit, well, I work with children since when I was 16 years old, I used help a little girl with her homework, I also worked in one big school, I had the habillity to take care of a lot children at same time, age 2 at 12 years old, I also babysit for familes, I am so glad to had the experience to take care of twins babies, I am comfortable taking care children with age newborn to 14 years old, thats all the ages that I already took care, why I like babysitter? well, the good question would be, how I would not like? I know there are children with a strong personality haha, but all kids just want the same thing, that is have fun, thats why I never had problem with them, my priority it is the safety, but also for me it is important they have fun, they are children, children want explore, use the imagination, play, thats why I always have a great conection with them, because when I am with them, I turn a kid again!
Hi, I'm Malia! I am 30 years old and have been working in childcare since 2011. I spent the last 3 years as a nanny for a family caring for the children from 4 months-3 years old. Before that, I spent 5 years working as a substitute teacher at an early childhood education center where I worked with infants through Pre-K classes. I graduated from Portland State University in 2019. I love to go on walks, explore parks & neighborhoods, dance, sing, play guitar, read, and bake. Creativity and mindfulness are very important to me. I am hoping to share my care and optimism with your children and whole family. I am currently available for occasional sitting as well as flexible week to week schedules.
“Mailia was great, upbeat, professional and helpful ”
Hi! I’m a law student who also works full-time in finance. I’m looking for occasional evening or weekend babysitting jobs because I truly love and miss being around kids. I’m responsible, punctual, patient, and caring — always making sure children feel safe, supported, and have fun. Parents can count on me to be reliable, organized, and attentive to detail.

"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."
Milena L., mom of two
"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."
Heather B., mom of two
