Aya $20 per hour for 1 child

Growing up in a big family of 11 , I’ve had plenty of hands-on experience caring for kids, including my sibling and many younger cousins. I’m very tidy, enjoy cooking and cleaning, and I’ve always had pets both dogs and cats so I’m confident in taking care of them too. I speak 4 languages, two of which are exotic.

Sandy $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Sandy! I have over 8 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants and toddlers to school-age children. I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. I hold Associate Degrees in Behavioral Science and Health Science and am CPR and First Aid certified. My background has given me a strong understanding of child development, positive behavior guidance, and the importance of building trusting relationships with both children and parents. Families describe me as dependable, patient, organized, and attentive. I enjoy planning age-appropriate activities, helping with homework, encouraging creativity, and supporting healthy routines. I am also comfortable with meal preparation, diaper changes, bath time, bedtime routines, school pick-ups and drop-offs, and light housekeeping related to the children. As a bilingual caregiver fluent in English and Spanish, I can help expose children to a second language if desired. I have reliable transportation, a clean driving record, and excellent references available upon request. My goal is always to provide parents with peace of mind, knowing their children are in caring, capable, and responsible hands. I look forward to connecting with your family!

Jackson $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jackson, and I’ve spent the last 4–5 years working with children ages 1–18 in a wide range of settings. I’m currently a Behavioral Technician at an elementary school, where I provide daily support in SPED classrooms. I specialize in working with autistic children and have experience both as a 1:1 in-home support provider and in full classroom environments. I’ve cared for toddlers, school-age kids, teens, and students with diverse needs. My responsibilities have included but are not limited to diaper changes, homework help, behavior management and intervention, implementing individualized behavior plans, and overall providing any help that a child or parent might need. I’m also comfortable with general household support such as cleaning, meal prep, and keeping routines structured and consistent. In addition to childcare, I have two years of experience in elder care, including assisting with daily tasks, transportation, companionship, and helping to maintain a safe, supportive environment. A little about me personally: I’m born and raised in Los Angeles, and I’m studying music production while working in education. I’m patient, creative, organized, and I genuinely love building trust with the families I work with. Whether you need someone reliable for after-school care, structured behavioral support, or a calm presence at home, I’m happy to help!

"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."

"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."
