Hi my name is Mariah and I am a dancer/performing artist originally from Philadelphia, PA. I've been teaching dance to children ages 2-18 for about 10 years and was often the go-to family babysitter before moving to LA. I started working through Urban Sitter about 8 years ago as a nanny,babysitter, and tutor and have experience with all ages (infants-teenagers). I absolutely love working with children and am grateful for every opportunity I get to do so. With every job it is always my goal to provide a creative, active, safe and fun environment. I'm a natural performer/entertainer and children are honestly my favorite audience 🤗 ... Aside from dancing I love playing sports, reading, outdoor adventuring and fashion.

• Bachelor’s in Sociology with a minor in Child Development • Master’s in Education in progress • Certified child care provider in the state of California includes: yearly CPR certification, vaccinations, trust line certified, and more! I believe my experience aligns well with what you’re looking for because I’m a very compassionate and self motivated individual. My family has a licensed childcare center. The way we’ve seen our mother teach, guide, support, and encourage little ones is definitely the reason my sisters and I began our journey toward working with children and the root to our ongoing career paths. When time permits I supervise the children and assistants. As well as connect with parents and keep them up to date. Moreover, I worked at an elementary school in Hermosa Beach and at behavioral health network as a Behavior Technician. In regards to nannying I have experience all around - overnight stays, date nights, part time position, and full time position ( I was with my previous family for two years:) Mothers helper: I come in as an extra set of hands for a couple of hours to take care of typical household needs. Which includes laundry, tidying, organizing, and light cleaning. I am open to running errands/ grocery shopping - gas fee add on. This does not include childcare coverage, but can for an increase hourly rate. Nanny work: I enjoy spending time with children (art, reading, outdoor play, etc.) and helping them get out of their comfort zone. When it comes to activities with the child/children it really depends on what you’re open to as the parent. If I’m given a budget we could go to the zoo, aquarium, etc. Of course there’s always the park, library, and playing at home. I’m open to using my car when needed (with gas reimbursement:). Overall, I always keep in mind on what’s in the best interest for the child (of course, with the input of the parents). Note: Regardless of the type of booking I want to emphases that my job is to focus on the well being and development of your child/ children. When time permits I don’t mind unloading/ loading dishwasher, etc. I am in no means a professional cook or cleaner. *I have experience house- sitting and dog sitting as well! * rates vary on holiday/ weekend bookings * If this is something that works for you I look forward on connecting further. Respectfully, Susana

“Very easy to communicate with. I've tried out a lot of sitters before Susy and she was the most professional, responsive and caring with our child. Thank you Susy. We'll be sure to reach out next time we need assistance again. :)”

Hi! My name is Tiara,I’m 28 years old and located in Inglewood,CA A fun fact about me:I’m a chef and have owned my own catering business for the past 6 years! Being a chef has taught me to be organized,responsible,creative,and attentive to details—qualities I bring into every family I work with. I’ve always had a genuine love for caring for children of all ages,and I have younger siblings of my own,which has given me plenty of experience being patient,attentive,and nurturing.For me,babysitting is much more than simply keeping children safe.I want children to feel comfortable,cared for,entertained,and genuinely valued while they’re in my care. I’m dependable,warming,attentive,and a fast learner.I’m also big on communication and respecting family routines,expectations,and parenting style.I take the time to get to know each child—their personality,interests,comfort level,and what makes them feel secure. My goal is to build trusting relationships with both parents and children so that’s you feel comfortable,confident,and at ease while you’re away.I’d love the opportunity to become someone your family can rely on—not just for one sitting,but for the long term.

“Tiara was engaged and playful with our little guys. We plan to have her back! ”

Hi everyone! I’m Caylah. I’m a special education teacher. I’ve been working with kids since I was fourteen, though I’ve been babysitting since I was ten. I’ve worked for my mothers dance camp as an administrative assistant and art activity instructor. Over the years I’ve had many jobs and volunteer experiences which have allowed me to work with all ages. I like to take the kids out if the weather agrees with me. In my free time I enjoy reading, traveling, painting, drawing, crocheting, pottery, roller skating, and trying new foods.

“Caylah was super kind, connected with my daughter quickly and was very flexible and reasonable. We would love to hire her again!”

Booked by 26 families in Sun Valley, CA

Hello, my name is Marelin. I'm 28 years old. I am loving and caring with kids. I have taken care of children up until the age of 15. I am reliable, trustworthy and honest. Will do any tasks that are given, my rules are the same rules you have at your house. Pets are okay. I also have my own transportation. Please let me know so we can schedule an interview! I can provide references if needed. Thank you.

“Marelin has been our daytime sitter since December 2025, and we're so sad to be losing her only because our family is moving out of LA in November 2026. She's been wonderful. She's reliable, flexible with hours, and always willing to work around our schedule. She’s smart and a quick learner. She picks up house rules and instructions right away. We always feel completely comfortable leaving her alone with our baby. She's endlessly patient during feedings, sings to our daughter, and always gets her down for naps quickly. She spends real time playing with and reading to our baby, who absolutely adores her. She's also happy to help with light housecleaning and errands. Highly recommend Marelin to any family looking for a trustworthy, loving caregiver”

"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."
