Arianna $32 per hour for 1 child

I’m an early childhood educator with over 7 years of hands-on experience supporting young children in both home and classroom settings. I love creating warm, engaging environments where children feel safe, curious, and excited to learn. My approach is rooted in play-based, Reggio-inspired learning, following each child’s interests while gently guiding their development, independence, and emotional growth. A little about what I offer: • Thoughtful, play-based daily activities • Kindergarten readiness & early learning support • Gentle guidance with emotions and behavior • Outdoor play and nature-based exploration • Light family assistance (organization, errands, child-related tasks) • Open, supportive communication with parents My rate is $32–42/hour, depending on the role and needs. I truly enjoy building meaningful connections with both children and families, and I would love to find a family who values intentional, nurturing care. Looking forward to connecting with you!

James $22 per hour for 1 child

I love working with people in general, but especially with Kids! I used to work with children on the spectrum, and I experienced any and all kinds of behaviours. I have done caregiving before with kids by serving them food, cleaning, helping homework, and play! I love working with pets too and I like to clean the house. But most importantly, I love helping out to wherever I most needed.

Booked by 1 family in Sherman Oaks, CA

Hello! My name is Sharon. I'm a 27 yr old nanny based in Silverlake seeking a part-time or full-time position. Current availability in July + August is open! I'm also available for occasional babysitting, weekends, and date nights. I have 5+ years of childcare experience with children ranging from infants to high schoolers, including experience supporting children on the autism spectrum. Ive recently cared for a 5M old infant where I handled breast milk and formula feeding, tummy time, developmental play, nap routines, and daily infant care while creating a calm, nurturing environment. I enjoy keeping kids engaged with reading, arts and crafts, imaginative play, trips to the park, and age appropriate learning activities. I'm also comfortable with pets and happy to provide references upon request. Feel free to message me with any questions! :)

Samantha $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Samantha, and I bring over 10 years of experience working with children as a teacher, along with hands-on experience caring for my nieces and nephews. I hold two associate degrees—one in Child Development (Special Needs) and one in Child Development (Early Education)—and I am currently pursuing my bachelor’s degree in Communication Disorders with a focus on Speech and Language Pathology. I have experience working with children of all ages and enjoy creating a safe, supportive, and fun environment where kids can learn, explore, and feel comfortable being themselves. I love engaging children in activities like arts and crafts, imaginative play, reading, and outdoor time, and I’m happy to help with homework, routines, and light meal prep when needed. In addition to childcare, I also offer pet care and am very comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I can assist with feeding, walking, and playtime, and I truly enjoy being around animals. I pride myself on being patient, reliable, and attentive, and I always strive to create a positive experience for both children and families. I would love the opportunity to support your family!

"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."
