“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.”

Nell $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Universal City, CA

Hiya! I’m Nell, a recent graduate of Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Drama. I have several years of experience working with children and love creating a fun, supportive environment where kids feel comfortable and engaged. I’ve babysat a 4–6 year old, helping with meals, playtime, reading, and bedtime routines. For the past three summers, I’ve also worked as a summer school and camp assistant teacher for elementary school students. During those summers, I worked with a cooking education program called Radical Cooks in California, where we taught kids how to cook French recipes. I mostly assisted the instructor but also led my own classes about once a week, teaching groups of 12–20 kids. With my background in theater, I love keeping kids engaged through storytelling, games, crafts, and imaginative play. I’m happy to help with meals, bedtime routines, and fun activities, and I’m available for evenings, date nights, and occasional weekend babysitting.

Hi! My name is Abby, and I’m a dependable caregiver based in Los Angeles with two years of combined childcare experience, including both family-based and independent care. I’m open to both recurring and one-time roles and value clear communication, consistency, and creating a calm, supportive environment for children. I have experience caring for children ages 4 and up and am comfortable caring for one or two children at a time.

I’m patient, responsible, and organized, and I take household routines and guidelines seriously. I make it a priority to stay in touch with parents through regular updates, either in person at the end of care or by text or call, depending on your preference. As a college student at USC, I bring strong communication and organization skills to my work and take reliability and professionalism seriously. My goal is to provide dependable, high-quality care while building positive, trusting relationships with families. I’m happy to connect and see if we’re a good fit.

Chelsea $40 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Chelsea. I am a Los Angeles-based nanny with over 11 years of experience caring for infants and toddlers. After four years, the little one I've cared for is off to Pre-K! I am TrustLine registered, CPR certified, and First Aid certified. I take a RIE approach to childcare that is gentle, respectful, empathetic, and playful. I grew up with an interest in both art and sports, so I'm just as happy sitting down to draw, build, play games, or read together as I am spending the day outside. I enjoy creating thoughtful, screen-conscious days filled with play, conversation, laughter, creativity, and opportunities to build confidence. Whether we're visiting a park, library, museum, or simply enjoying a walk together, I love helping children discover and engage with the world around them. My goal is to provide children with consistent, loving care while giving parents peace of mind. I believe in setting clear, consistent boundaries, encouraging effort, and maintaining a positive and relaxed mindset. I am light-hearted, open-minded, and dependable. I care about being aligned with the families I work with, and I’m open to taking direction. If this sounds like a good fit for your family, I'd love to hear from you. Thank you!

"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."
