Chase 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name’s Chase, I’m 23 (turning 24 this spring :)) and recently moved to Los Angeles from New York City. I work remotely in PR and Marketing while also pursuing my music career, and I’m looking for part time babysitting work with reliable families. I’ve babysat for kids of all ages, from toddlers to preteens, and helped with school pick ups, drop offs, and after school routines back home in New York. I love working with children and I’m known for being super organized and a bit of a neat freak. I’m happy to help with meal prep, light cleaning, and keeping kids entertained whether that’s dancing, singing, sports or even homework! I’m new to UrbanSitter but not new to childcare, and I’d love to connect with great families here in LA.

“Chase is a very trustworthy person! I felt more than comfortable having her manage my household. She is kind and comes to work with a very positive attitude! She is fabulous with children and able to be very flexible which is great.”

Booked by 1 family in Sherman Oaks, CA

I am new to the app. I wanted to let you know that I am a caring, patient, and responsible caregiver with hands-on experience raising and caring for children from 0 months. I have experience and understanding of feeding, diaper changes, sleep schedules, soothing techniques, developmental milestones, and infant safety. I truly love children and enjoy creating a nurturing, loving, and engaging environment where they feel safe, happy, and cared for. When your child is in my care, I will treat them with the same attention, patience, and affection that I would give my own family. I understand how hard is it to trust someone with the most important person in your life and my goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and supportive environment where children can learn, play, and thrive. I also have the support of my mother, who has many years of experience raising three children, she is a retired middle school teacher, my brothers are both engineers and one got his PDH she is available to help when needed. Together, we provide a warm, family-oriented atmosphere focused on your child's well-being. My home is also prepared for childcare, with toys and age-appropriate activities, as well as clean and safe spaces for children to play, rest, sleep, and be cared for comfortably. I am happy to take care of your child. Families can feel confident knowing that their child will be cared for in a safe, loving, and dependable environment.

“Exceptional last-minute care! Highly recommend Aria! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Aria was an absolute blessing for our family. She accepted a very last-minute request to watch my 1-year-old daughter at her home from the afternoon until 10 PM. She took amazing care of my baby girl, treating her with so much love and affection. I loved getting the regular updates and photos she sent, which kept my mind completely at ease. Aria handled dinner time, diaper changes, and bedtime smoothly and lovingly. She is reliable, communicative, and wonderful with children. 5 stars all the way!"”

Bennett $25 per hour for 1 child

I'm a married, 35 year-old journalist in a transition phase. Previously, I worked for 10 years as a lifeguard and swim instructor, so I have plenty of experience working with children (infants up to young teens). I'm mild-mannered, calm and patient. I have a sweet little dog named Jacuzzi and we often dog-sit for others, so I'm very comfortable around dogs and all kinds of pets. I'm also a bit of a clean freak and organizer, so I don't mind doing stuff around the house or in the yard, 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."
