Nursing student | 6+ years of professional childcare experience | Trusted by families caring for infants through teens. Hi! I’m Sheba, a nursing student with 6 years of professional childcare experience and 10+ years of experience as a big sister and aunt. I’ve cared for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers, and I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids can learn, play, and feel supported. I’m happy to help with school pickups and drop-offs, homework, meal and snack prep, bedtime routines, and light housekeeping related to the children. Families describe me as dependable, patient, and easy to communicate with. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and become someone your children enjoy spending time with, I look forward to connecting.

“She was on time, very professional, my kids loved her! She did their bath and bedtime routine and had them in bed in no time. I was very impressed, my kids hate bedtime. Their playroom and table were picked up as well which was a pleasant surprise. We have gone through quite a bit of sitters and she is the best! I highly recommend her.”

Hi! I’m Lesley. I’ve cared for children of different ages over the years and have been lucky to build relationships with several wonderful families, including families who have invited me back regularly. I really enjoy getting to know each child’s personality and helping them feel comfortable, happy, and safe while their parents are away. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I’m happy to follow the routines that work best for your family. Depending on your child’s interests, we might spend our time playing games, making crafts, reading, getting outside, or working on homework. I’m also comfortable helping with meals, bedtime, and other daily routines. Alongside babysitting, I’ve worked professionally in business and operations for several years. That experience has made me very organized, communicative, and comfortable handling unexpected situations calmly—but when I’m with children, my focus is always on making sure they feel cared for and have a good time. A little more about me: I love traveling, staying active, exploring Los Angeles, and spending time at home with my two cats. I’m an animal lover and am very comfortable in homes with cats or dogs. I know how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your children, and I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

Booked by 20 families in Sun Valley, CA

Hi! My name is Selene and I’m a University of Berkeley, California graduate with a B.A. in psychology. I started sitting when I was 13 and supported families in my neighborhood with their kids. In college, I worked for a church’s childcare group (ages 4 months-4 years) and tutored children in Spanish and math. I have loads of experience with school aged children (3-10). My child related job experience includes working in a domestic violence shelter for mothers and children of all different ages. We tutored, mentored, and provided childcare in the shelter using a non violent empowerment model. I also worked with elementary school children and teenagers working as an after school aid at non profit that provides services to children in the mission. I’ve had a few long term tutoring and sitting jobs and am currently looking to support a few families at a need basis! I like to co create activities with the children im caring for that are developmentally appropriate. For example, I love to use textured toys and sensory activities for infants to improve dexterity and color recognition and for children 4-8, I love to play games that help them move and use their imagination. (Dance party anyone?) I would describe my baby sitting style as engaged, imaginative and collaborative.

*Fully-vaccinated* Currently ISO full-time nannying position for Summer 2026. Hi! My name is Alyssa. I have over 11 years of babysitting experience with children of all ages, including infants. I am a full-time MSW student at UCLA (graduating this Spring) and part-time yoga teacher at North Ray Yoga. Outside of work, I spend my time enjoying the company of friends, hiking, reading novels, dancing, and playing instruments. I am very outgoing and energetic, and really enjoy engaging kids in music, outdoor activities, and reading. During my first year field placement for my MSW degree, I spent 500 hours at an elementary school providing 1:1 therapy and group social-emotional development sessions. In the past, I have volunteered in an early intervention center for children with ASD and other developmental differences. I am bilingual (English and Spanish), and very comfortable around pets. My goal as a nanny is to provide care that is fun, educational, and compassionate. I am committed to providing the same level of care to every family I work with regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, or family structure. P.S. you may notice that my video on here is a bit outdated but I haven’t updated it because I think the content still rings true! I filmed it back in 2021 ☺️.

“Alyssa is great. She worked with my family for a couple of months, 5 days a week, our morning routine before going to school with a 5 month old and 4 year old. She was great with both kids (e.g., good about doing tummy time with my infant, and playing or doing arts and crafts with my daughter), and had very good attention to detail prepping for our day (e.g., knowing all the details about meal prep, proactive about restocking diapers and taking care of all of the kids' things). She even made a checklist to make our transition to a new caregiver smooth as she was moving. The only reason she stopped working with us was that she was moving to the east coast for school / life transition. Any family would be lucky to have her. ”

"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."
