Agathe $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Agathe, I’m a 26 years old french filmmaker located in Los Angeles since 2023. I have been working with kids for years while building my career. I have always loved working with kids, I started babysitting when I was about 13. My mom worked as a preschool/elementary school teacher her whole life and I was often helping her out with her classes, preparing activities and hanging out with the kids. A lot of part time jobs came out of this as the parents were happy to hire someone their kids already knew, until I started being a full time nanny at the age of 22. I have often been described by families as very patient, playful, a great listener, very positive and dependable. I love art and really enjoy encouraging children to be creative. I love teaching them simple life skills and watching them grow into their own little person. When a family is comfortable with outings, I love taking kids to the park, the beach/pool, play dates, museums, movies, any activities they have and places they love. I am used to helping with homework, light housekeeping (tidying up, cleaning dishes, light meal prep, folding kids laundry when needed, going to the store to help with groceries…). I am also super comfortable with babies and toddlers and have always had an easy time following babies routines, putting down for naps, changing diapers, helping regulate emotions during tantrums, reading stories, bottle feeding, etc. Oh and I am an animal lover so very happy to help with any pets that you might have! As for my experience as a nanny, I got my first full time nannying job in France in 2022 and took care of two boys (1 and 3) 40 hours a week and really enjoyed it. I then moved to LA and have been working as a part time nanny here for the past few years (about 20h/week) and would love to find new families to work with as my last kid just started full time school! My schedule is very flexible, I work on my art on my own time for now so I can adapt to anything and am available pretty much everyday. I can happily send references to families both here in LA or in France. Contact me if this sounds like a good match!

Ryan $32 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I'm a warm, dependable 30-year-old based in Los Angeles with years of experience caring for children of all ages - from infants and toddlers to tweens. Originally from NJ/NY, I've lived in LA for three years and love this community deeply. After seven years in the fashion industry as a merchandiser and buyer, I'm now a graduate student pursuing my Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), so nurturing kids' emotional well-being is truly my passion. I have a valid driver's license and car, so school pick-up and drop-off is no problem! I love keeping kids engaged with arts and crafts, fun activities, and homework help, and I'm happy to welcome your pets too. I bring a calm, attentive presence to every family I work with. Feel free to reach out! Thank you very much! Ryan

"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."
