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!

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!
