Sabrina 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hihii! I’m Sabrina, I graduated from UCLA and now work full-time at the university. I’ve always been someone who takes initiative and works hard, which definitely shows in the way I care for kids. I helped raise my younger brother and have been a big part of my 7 year old nephew’s life since he was born. Coming from a big family, I’ve always had a caregiving role. I have five siblings, so I know how to manage different needs and personalities at once. I also know how to cook and would often prepare meals for everyone, which taught me how to stay organized and patient, especially during busy moments. While I was in college, I worked as a tutor and also spent time as a teacher assistant in a sixth-grade classroom, helping students with both schoolwork and classroom routines. I’m always happy to help with homework or create learning moments during play. Outside of work, I love being outdoors, going on walks, and spending time in green spaces. I’m also a big fan of cafes, matcha, cute characters (sanrio & rilakkuma), and exploring new spots around the city. I bring that same calm and creative energy when babysitting, and I always try to keep kids engaged with fun activities and time outside. I’m dependable, caring, and genuinely love spending time with kids. If you’re looking for someone who’s thoughtful, hands-on, and experienced, I’d love to help out.

“Sabrina has been such a huge part of our lives. She’s been watching my son since he was 4 and now he’s 9 and he still gets so excited whenever he finds out she’s coming over. That alone says so much about the kind of person she is. They spend their time dancing, drawing, playing games, laughing, and she always makes sure he’s fed and happy. She treats him with so much love, patience and care. It gives me so much peace of mind whenever I’m away. She also handles bedtime and morning routines like a pro and keeps me updated if anything comes up. As a mom there’s nothing more reassuring than knowing your child is safe, loved, and happy. We absolutely adore her and I can’t recommend her enough!”

Naz 2 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child

I have extensive experience caring for children from infancy through 10+ years old, as well as experience working with children in a school environment. My background as a harpist and artist allows me to engage creatively with kids through music, imaginative play, and hands-on activities. I love teaching, spending time outdoors, making snacks, helping with household chores, and being playful and silly with the children I care for. I’m warm, attentive, reliable, and genuinely enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for families.

“Naz helped care for my daughter Rumi from the time she was 1 year old until 3.5 years old on an as-needed basis, and she was truly wonderful with her. She is incredibly gentle, patient, reliable, and responsive, and always created a calm, nurturing environment around Rumi. What stood out most to me was how naturally caring and attentive she is with children. Rumi absolutely adored spending time with her. Naz brought so much creativity and warmth into their time together through music, play, art, and outdoor activities. She also has a very grounded and calming presence, which made me feel completely comfortable leaving Rumi in her care. I would wholeheartedly recommend Naz to any family looking for someone trustworthy, kind, engaging, and genuinely excellent with children.”

Sally $45 per hour for 1 child

For 15 years, I had the privilege of serving one wonderful family in a multi-faceted role as a full-time nanny, private chef, family assistant, personal assistant, and house manager. I helped raise two children, one of whom is on the the autism spectrum, working closely with teachers, behavioral therapists, and psychiatrists to help ensure consistency and the best possible support. My approach to children centers on understanding each child's individuality, creating a safe, respectful, and encouraging environment. Beyond childcare, I take pride in running an organized and welcoming household, managing everything from meal planning and private chef services to scheduling, errands, and anticipating the day-to-day needs of a busy family. Known for my warmth, creativity, and strong work ethic, I aim to become a trusted extension of any family I serve, someone parents can rely on and children can feel comfortable with. I'd be honored to bring that same dedication and compassion to your family.

Lilly $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m the oldest of seven, so caregiving has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a single-parent home, I naturally stepped in to help my mom with everything from homework and bedtime routines to meals and keeping the house running. Those early years taught me how to be patient, responsible, and calm under pressure, and they’re a huge reason why I’m so comfortable working with kids today. Outside of my own family, I’ve spent time caring for children in my community and during college. I worked at youth camps and served as a counselor, leading activities, helping kids build friendships, and supporting them through the ups and downs of being young. I also worked with the Boys and Girls Club, mentoring kids both academically and socially. Those experiences helped me develop my own style of caregiving — warm, creative, and centered around helping each child feel seen and capable. I recently graduated from college, and my education helped strengthen my communication and leadership skills. I love finding ways to connect with kids individually, whether that’s through reading together, exploring their interests, or creating simple learning moments in everyday tasks. As a caregiver, I’m dependable, gentle, and adaptable. I don’t come in just to supervise; I like to really learn each child’s personality, what comforts them, what excites them, and how to support their growth. I’m also great with busy households and don’t mind pitching in with things like meal prep, light cleaning, organizing, homework help, errands, or pet care. I’ve been doing those things my whole life. I have over 7 years of experience caring for children from infancy through age 15, and I’ve had the privilege of nannying for multiple families with diverse needs and personalities. I’m open to both live-in and full-time roles depending on the family’s needs. More than anything, I care about building trust, creating a calm and happy environment, and making life a little easier for the families I work with.

"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."
