During childcare assistance I provide help with meals, bedtime routines, school pick ups, chores around the home and being actively involved with the child during playtime. During Senior care my priority is to provide comfort and safety. Helping with medications, meals, self safe (bathing etc.. ) as well as errands or anything else the client may need me to assist with. I have taken care of cats and dogs, one of my regular clients has 8 cats that I watch and care for while she is away from home. I also have experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes with pets.

I prioritize building a comfortable and happy work relationship and environment for all my clients.

“Melba and her husband Jose have been working for us since 2015, cleaning first our condo and now our house. We trust them completely. When we leave town, we are comfortable leaving them our keys so they can look after and feed our cats. They are excellent pet-sitters, cats and dogs. When I leave town they aid my husband, who has Parkinson’s. They are responsible, hardworking, friendly, and reliable. I cannot stress enough how we appreciate their presence and the care and effort we receive from them.”

Jackson $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jackson, and I’ve spent the last 4–5 years working with children ages 1–18 in a wide range of settings. I’m currently a Behavioral Technician at an elementary school, where I provide daily support in SPED classrooms. I specialize in working with autistic children and have experience both as a 1:1 in-home support provider and in full classroom environments. I’ve cared for toddlers, school-age kids, teens, and students with diverse needs. My responsibilities have included but are not limited to diaper changes, homework help, behavior management and intervention, implementing individualized behavior plans, and overall providing any help that a child or parent might need. I’m also comfortable with general household support such as cleaning, meal prep, and keeping routines structured and consistent. In addition to childcare, I have two years of experience in elder care, including assisting with daily tasks, transportation, companionship, and helping to maintain a safe, supportive environment. A little about me personally: I’m born and raised in Los Angeles, and I’m studying music production while working in education. I’m patient, creative, organized, and I genuinely love building trust with the families I work with. Whether you need someone reliable for after-school care, structured behavioral support, or a calm presence at home, I’m happy to help!

"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."
