$19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Xitclali or Lali whichever you prefer! I’m 24 years old and work as a Behavioral Aide for an elementary school. I’ve been working around kids for about 7 years. I absolutely love it! I am here to help with any homework needs or just to keep company and help around. I have also worked as a care taker for about 6 months. I can help with things around the house, errands and keep company. I am very friendly, respectful, responsible, empathetic, kind and fun! :)

Tessa 1 review
Los Angeles
$28 per hour for 1 child

Responsible Mid-City sitter available for babysitting, date nights, and part-time care. I have several years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and young children, and I'm very comfortable with routines like meals, naps, playtime, and bedtime. Parents appreciate that I'm calm, reliable, and able to step into a family's routine quickly. I've worked both in full-time nanny roles and in occasional babysitting positions. My experience includes: • infant care and full-day coverage • toddler and preschool care • playtime, activities, and outdoor walks • meal and snack preparation • naps and bedtime routines • light kitchen and household tidying • homework help for older children • support with school pickup and activities I'm patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy engaging with kids through books, play, and simple activities. I aim to create a calm, positive environment while making sure children feel comfortable and safe.

Tessa has been absolutely fantastic, and we’ve loved working with her. Although she’s new to UrbanSitter, she was happy to provide references, which we really appreciated. From the start, she was communicative, punctual, and professional leading up to each appointment. While caring for our son, she carefully listened to and followed our schedule and preferences around feeding, sleeping, and routines. She was incredibly attentive and engaging with him, and he clearly adored her. We’ve now worked with Tessa a few times and will absolutely continue to hire her in the future. Highly recommend!

$23 per hour for 1 child

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!

Fiona Los Angeles
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Fiona. I'm from the UK but I've been living in the US for 7 years. I’m offering child care and senior care. I have been working with children for over 20 years in many different settings. I've taught music and dance classes to mums with little ones, taught dance in Primary Schools, been a full time nanny to a beautiful baby boy from 3 months until he was 2. I cared for a little girl from the age of 3-5. We loved baking together and going on outside adventures. More recently I was the director of a thriving children's ministry for a church. I was in charge of the welfare, curriculum programming and entertainment of over 150 children between the ages of 0-11 every Sunday. This included a nursery. I was in this role for 5 years. I have an undergraduate degree in Dance, and a Masters in Writing for Children from the University of Winchester, UK. Right now, I work for an organization where I write Bible studies for children who struggle with reading, helping them to engage in creative ways. I've also taught seated dance classes in senior homes across London. I spearheaded and intergenerational project called "Connecting the Generations", bringing little ones and seniors together through music and movement. I love to sing, dance, bake, read stories, and spend time outside. I aim to see those in my care thrive. I always bring approachability, warmth, patience, and fun when I'm looking after kids and seniors.
