Cleo $27 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Cleo, and I’m a professional with a background in skincare and early childhood education. I grew up in Los Angeles, a city I love to explore, and I currently work independently in the skincare world. A few years ago, I embraced a unique opportunity to teach young children at a private school in Hollywood, a rewarding experience that inspired me to seek more personalized interactions with families alongside my career in skincare. I have extensive experience caring for children aged 1-13 and come from an artistic background, which I incorporate into my approach when working with kids. Over the years, I’ve nannied for various families, assisting with school pickups, preparing meals, engaging in creative play, and helping with homework. I aim to provide parents with a sense of comfort and peace, knowing their children are in safe, caring hands. I prioritize health and safety, especially regarding COVID-19.

Natalie $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Natalie and I just moved back to Los Angeles after living in Hawaii for 3.5 years. I absolutely love working with kids and helping people in any way I can. I’ve been babysitting since I was 16, was a camp counselor for ages 8–13, and nannied a 1-year-old for four months. I love bringing creativity and nature into everything I do whether that’s baking, painting, exploring outside, or coming up with fun activities. I’m reliable, kind, and easygoing, and I always bring high, positive energy wherever I go.

Natale $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Natále, a musician, writer, and creative community builder with a lifelong connection to caring for children. All the women in my family (my grandmother, stepmother, and aunts) have run daycares for as long as I can remember, so I’ve been surrounded by kids (and helping with them) since I was one myself. Over the years, I’ve worked as a camp counselor, voice coach for youth, and mentor for young creatives. I love helping children express themselves through music, art, and storytelling while also creating a calm and safe environment where they feel seen and supported. Beyond childcare, I host community gatherings centered on connection and creativity, so bringing people together comes naturally to me. Families describe me as intuitive, reliable, and deeply caring. I believe in nurturing imagination and self-expression just as much as structure. I’m comfortable caring for kids of all ages, assisting with homework, organizing creative play, and supporting household needs or pets. Most importantly, I treat each family I work with as an extension of my own, bringing warmth, patience, and positive energy into their space.

"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."
