My name is Zoe, and I’m a college Junior. When I’m not in class, I work as a preschool teaching assistant near my home, with experience supporting kids ages 2 and up. I’m comfortable with diaper changes, potty training, and keeping little ones entertained and engaged. I also have plenty of experience with pets. I have a senior pup (11 years young) and grew up with a cat, so I’m familiar with caring for both cats and dogs. Additionally, I can cook, clean, and organize, and I have a valid driver’s license, making me a reliable and versatile caregiver.
Hello, I’m Meriam! I’m a 26 year old woman living in Playa del Rey. I recently moved here after finishing school in Michigan. I have experience babysitting my nieces and nephews from their diaper days all the way into their teenage years. I love being in the company of children and understand the importance of having warm, positive, considerate role models around. I’m more than happy to accomodate any special needs and to help with school work and studying. I also have experience housesitting for family members and family friends, as well as dog walking! I have a dog and two cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with pet personalities, feeding times, ailments, etc. I’m very detail oriented, patient, and empathetic. I value clear, professional communication and maintain high respect for all children, adults, and homes. I’m highly punctual and understand the value of your time! My work background mostly consists of restaurant service, administrative office work, and creative marketing. I’m happy to handle a number of household chores while I’m watching over your child(ren), as well as feed them pre-made meals or snacks! But, I am unable to meal prep or cook family size meals myself, due to strong personal preferences. I spend most of my free time studying for the LSAT, attending fitness classes, reading books, creative writing and drawing, and exploring the beautiful nature and city scenes California has to offer! :) Looking forward to discussing your family’s needs and seeing if I may be an ideal fit.
Hi, my name is Vanessa, and I look forward to meeting you! I recently graduated from UCLA and currently work part-time on weekends. I am interested in providing baby and childcare services, as well as occasional pet care. I have been babysitting since my teenage years. My knowledge of baby care is still fresh, especially since my baby niece is turning two. While it may seem easy, having an extra hand is always helpful. I possess a driver's license and own a car, which has allowed me to commute from residential areas to highways. I am comfortable with pickups and drop-offs, and I'm also okay with running quick, easy errands. NOTE: I am also open to pet and house-sitting
Hi, my names Alexis Navarro I am a 19 year old (20 in October) college student majoring in business administration. I love kids and having 8 siblings, 7 of them being younger, it has only helped me to love them more. Right now I am mainly looking for flexible work such as one or 2 time jobs as I do have another job. I hope you will give me a chance to look after your precious little ones (little humans and even pets!) if the dates are more than a week in advance I can work better with time!

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
