Hi! My name is Aster, and I have over 3 years of experience working with people in a professional setting, which has helped me build patience, attention to detail, and great communication skills.

Julia $28 per hour for 1 child

I have experience babysitting school age children and focus on bringing curiosity, structure, and fun to the time we spend together. I have the most experience with that age group, but I can adapt to different ages and needs. I’m happy to help with homework and enjoy supporting kids academically. I’m currently getting my MBA at UCLA Anderson and looking for part-time work during my spare time. I previously worked in client services, where I learned to be reliable, communicative, and attentive to individual needs. I also help care for my father after a stroke, which has taught me patience and responsibility. I’ve also done house sitting and am very comfortable caring for both homes and pets. I love pets of all kinds, I have two dogs and have fostered many others, including senior dogs. I’m punctual, responsive, and easy to coordinate with, and I’m happy to help with meals, pickups, errands, and household tasks.

Amara 1 review
$27 per hour for 1 child

I am currently a graduate from IESEG University with my master's. I love kids and supporting moms and families. The babysitters and nannies I had growing up left a strong positive impression on me. I understand the value of being responsible, engaging, and a good role model. I am comfortable with after-school pickup, snacks, homework, and most of all, engaging in fun activities!

“I highly recommend Amara!!! Amara worked as my daughter's after-school / part-time babysitter a little over a year ago when my daughter was in first grade...as well as occasionally babysitting her at various times since then. She was great!! She did an amazing job and is great with kids. She picked my daughter up five days a week from school, took her on the subway home (~20 minutes), took her to any activities, and helped with homework, etc. She was very responsible and mature and I felt very safe with her taking care of my daughter and taking her places, and she helped with her homework. My daughter loved her as well- Amara was fun and sweet to her and would "play" with her - fun imaginative things. Anyone would be lucky to have Amara as a sitter! We stopped her using Amara on a daily basis because she was studying abroad in Paris but, since she has been back, have used her a date night sitter.”

"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."
