I'd describe my personality as fun, positive and energetic I like working with kids because is pleasurable and fun. I'm looking for a job that I am respected, and the family-environment is easygoing. I started working with kids since my 15 years old. In my spare time, I like to be outdoors, hike, spend time with my dog and my cat. Painting, coloring, cooking.. One thing you should know about me is I'm a good heart and straightforward. Also drama free and I will take care of your children as my own. My skills include CPR, help development and breathing work/meditation lessons with kids.

Hi, moms and dads, my name is Tanielle and I am a kindergarten teacher. I have several years of experience, from taking care of newborns overnight up until middle aged kids. I absolutely love babysitting because of the relationship I form with the children and their families-it fills me up. I am a fun, loving, compassionate and creative person. I also enjoy cooking, baking, spending time outside, traveling but also enjoy my own company. I am CPR qualified, fully vaccinated and boosted. I have also completed a background check. I am flexible with open availability. Thanks for taking the time to get to know me-hope to meet you soon! *I require a minimum of 4 hours* *FYI regardless if parents return earlier than booked time, I’m still expecting to be compensated all the hours initially agreed upon*

“Wonderful. Did such a good job with the boys. Took notes and sent photos to me while at work. Was kind to stay late as I ran late at work. ”

Hello parent(s) and families! My name is Taylor and I am 26 years old. I am currently taking a break from school and am looking for occasional, part-time or full-time jobs as a sitter. I love children of all ages and am also pet friendly. I can understand Spanish and speak it, but not fluently. I worked at the YMCA as a junior camp counselor over a summer and have been babysitting for about 8-10 years now. Prior, I would watch my younger siblings when my mom had to run errands or go out. Apart from watching over a group as a camp counselor, I have babysat 4 children at most and 2 pets (at one time.) The ages I have been a caregiver for while babysitting was 6mo and older. I love spending time with kids, making them laugh, doing activities with them and having movie time. I am active and would enjoy taking them outdoors when possible. I would also be able to help with homework if needed. My favorite subject is English/Writing. If you have any additional questions, please do not be afraid to ask! I also have a few repeat families that I have been working for for at least a year and a half now and I would be more than happy to have them verify. Thank you! :)

“We enjoyed working with Taylor. Good communication and very sweet with kids. My daughter had a lot of fun. ”

Booked by 1 family in Sherman Oaks, CA

Hi! I’m a dependable, nurturing caregiver with years of hands-on experience caring for children, seniors, pets, and helping families at home. I’m currently studying at West Los Angeles College to become a social worker, so caring for others isn’t just something I do — it’s what I’m passionate about. I have experience with infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids. I help with homework, prepare simple meals, create fun activities, and keep routines on track. I’m very patient, attentive, and focused on making kids feel safe, heard, and supported. I also have experience assisting seniors with companionship, light housekeeping, transportation to appointments, and everyday tasks. I’m calm, respectful, and understand how important dignity and kindness are in care. I’m comfortable caring for all types of animals and can help with feeding, walks, playtime, and basic pet care. I’m happy to help with household tasks like cleaning, laundry, dishes, and errands to make your home run more smoothly. I’m not an experienced cook, but I can prepare very basic meals when needed. Families describe me as trustworthy, gentle, and reliable. I treat every home and loved one with the same care and respect I give my own family.

“Absolutely would and will hire again. SHE’S AMAZING! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

"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."
