Shilpa $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Shilpa, I am 24 and a fine arts student at Otis College of Art and Design. I am hoping to eventually use my degree to work as an art teacher for elementary or middle schoolers! My love of working with children began as baby-sitting jobs throughout my teenage years and only grew once I worked from 2023-the summer of 2025 as an early childhood educator. I am originally from Seattle, and moved down to Los Angeles this year in July. For the past two years (up until my move), I worked as a floating teacher at Epiphany Early Learning Preschool, working with children aged 18 months to 5 years old. Although I loved all the age groups I worked with, I especially loved working with children aged 2-3. I find caring for and helping children grow to be one of the most rewarding experiences, and I am very passionate about building strong relationships with kids as well as their families. I also worked as an art teacher at Epiphany, and I really enjoy coming up with creative activities that are engaging and appropriate for the age of children I am working with! It would be such a privilege to get to know your children as well as your family! I am a serious cat lover as well and would be happy to provide pet care for cats, however I am allergic to dogs. Due to my school schedule I am looking to provide caregiving in the evenings and late afternoons!

Valentína $27 per hour for 1 child

I am a responsible, caring, and patient person with experience caring for young children, especially infants and children between the ages of 2 and 4. I love working with children, supporting them as they grow, playing with them, and creating a safe and loving environment. I consider myself very detail-oriented, organized, and reliable. I always make sure the children are well cared for, entertained, and happy. I can also help with daily routines such as meals, naps, and age-appropriate educational activities. In addition, I have a warm and positive personality, which allows me to connect easily with children and build trust with both them and their parents.

Maci $20 per hour for 1 child

I’ve been babysitting for almost 4 years now. I started off with years of vacation bible school, then childcare at church every Sunday. I am very active personally so I like to do the same with the kids; art, reading, learning to cook, nature walks, etc. I have done senior care at a mental health facility as well, pet sitting, house sitting. I have very open availability as I’m attending college online. Can’t wait to meet you!

Airicka $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi Families, My name is Airicka, and I’m excited to introduce myself! I’m new to Los Angeles and looking forward to building meaningful connections within the community. My husband is currently pursuing his college basketball career, and while we’re here, I’m focused on continuing my education in real estate school and staying productive in a positive way. I’m looking to support families who need a reliable, trustworthy, and caring sitter. I genuinely enjoy being around children and creating a safe, fun, and structured environment where they feel comfortable and supported. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing light meals, bedtime routines, or planning engaging activities, I’m attentive and patient with every child I care for. Being in school has strengthened my time management, responsibility, and organizational skills. I take pride in being dependable, communicative, and respectful of each family’s routines and parenting style. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your children with someone, and I strive to provide that peace of mind. I’m excited to become a trusted resource for families here in Los Angeles and would love the opportunity to connect with you! Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to speaking with you soon. ❤️❤️

"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."
