Booked by 1 family in Glendale, CA

Hello! I bring decades of experience to your family as I am a mother, and I babysit my nieces and nephews. I am well versed in STEM-based teaching curriculum and arts-based learning. I hold a UCLA degree and am fully fluent in English and Spanish. I am also a trained birth doula to support new parents. I also successfully raised my son, who is now in college. Aside from babysitting, I am willing to run errands and do your family’s grocery shopping. I am community-minded and recently won an award from the LA County for Human Relations - LA vs Hate project, I love to laugh, teach children how to read, write and do crafts and art projects. I can also teach your children some basic capoeira moves. I am willing to commute kids to school and prepare healthy meals. I also love being around elders from your family and am willing to run errands for them as well. Feel free to reach out and I’d be happy to send you my resume.

Booked by 3 families in Glendale, CA

Hi! I recently joined urban sitter, I am 22 years old born and raised in Culver City. I have been nannying for 4 years now and have experience with kids ages 8 months to 11 years old. I have experience with twins and family’s with multiple kids. My responsibilities have been picking kids up from school/ activities, house manager, cooking/ meal prepping, keeping kids busy, and coming up with fun activities. I’m fluent in English and Spanish, I have my license and drive a reliable vehicle, and I love to bake. I also love all types of pets especially dogs.

Miranda arrived on time and jumped right in with my son and started playing games. She communicated with me when an issue came up and all was calm when we arrived back home. Lovely meeting her and we would love to have her back again!

$28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Hailey!! I’d love the opportunity to help care for your family—whether that means your children, your pets, or both! My experience as a preschool teacher’s aide has given me a strong foundation in creating safe, engaging, and supportive environments where children can learn, grow, and feel comfortable. I also have experience pet sitting and genuinely enjoy caring for animals, making sure they feel happy, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m dependable, patient, organized, and attentive to each family’s unique needs. Whether it’s helping with daily routines, homework, playtime, walks, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I take pride in being someone families can trust and rely on. My goal is to give you peace of mind while providing compassionate, dependable care for the ones who matter most.

Hailey is the best! I’ve known her for many years, and she is truly a blessing to this world. She radiates sunshine and positivity and I’ve seen how that impacts her work with children and animals. She is always trying to come from a place of understanding in order to meet a child or an animal’s needs. She always gives her very best, so you will never need to worry about your little bean while you’re away!

Booked by 1 family in Glendale, CA

Hey there! My name is Gwendolyn, and I have over 15 years of babysitting experience. I have cared for children of all ages, including working as a summer nanny and supporting children on the spectrum. I especially enjoy working with creative and imaginative kids, and I love encouraging fun activities, crafts, and play. In addition to childcare, I regularly care for pets and have experience with senior dogs and cats, including administering medication. I am also available to assist as a household helper-whether that’s light cooking, cleaning, running errands, or helping with day-to-day tasks. And a bit about me: I love all things vintage fashion, Disney, and American Girl dolls. I’m really into history, storytelling, and creative hobbies, which is probably why I get along so well with imaginative kids. I’m friendly, reliable, and genuinely enjoy getting to know and build ongoing relationships with the families I work with.

Gwen was so great. When I asked my 5 year old if he liked her he said “I love her” 🥰 Will definitely be hiring her again!
