Aarthika $25 per hour for 1 child
Caring, responsible sitter experienced with kids of all ages, from kindergarten up. I’ve also tutored students of all ages and love creating a safe, supportive space.
Azalia $25 per hour for 1 child
My name is Azalia and I am currently in my last semester of school. I am offering babysitting and dog-sitting services. I believe that I am great with kids and I enjoy creating a fun space for them. I have experience caring for toddlers between the ages of 3 and 6 years old and limited experience with caring for infants. I eventually want to become a child therapist after graduating from college, so having more experience with children would be amazing for me. I like to create fun activities for kids like creating art, playing games, just activities that would keep them busy! I have a BLS certification as well. I am very patient with kids, so I think my personality is perfect for babysitting!
Ami $25 per hour for 1 child
I’m a creative, experienced childcare professional with more than 20 years of nanny experience caring for children from toddlerhood through the teen years, including children with autism, ADHD, developmental delays, and other special needs. I have a background in Child Development and Montessori education, and as an artist, I love bringing creativity into childcare through arts and crafts, imaginative play, reading, music, outings, and hands-on learning. In 2019, I stepped away from childcare to become the full-time caregiver for my husband as he battled serious lung disease. Following his passing in February 2026, I’m now returning to childcare occasionally. I enjoy being the childcare professional parents can call when they need someone experienced, dependable, warm, and genuinely engaged with their children. Whether it’s a date night, busy weekend, or a few hours of extra help, I’d love to bring my years of experience and a little creativity to the time I spend with your kids.

$25 per hour for 1 child
Hi families! I’m Ki! I have three years of experience caring for children ages 4 and up, working with multiple families and getting to know kids with all kinds of personalities! I’d describe myself as energetic, empathetic, patient, and creative. I love bringing a little imagination into everyday activities, whether that means coming up with fun games, getting crafty, or turning an ordinary afternoon into an adventure! I’m currently pursuing my MBA at UCLA and outside of school, I’ve always enjoyed connecting with people and making a positive difference in their lives. I’m also a proud dog mom to my pitbull, Mozzy, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets, too! Above all, I want families to feel at ease knowing their loved ones are with someone who is attentive, dependable, and genuinely cares. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family!
“I wholeheartedly recommend Ki as a babysitter. She is one of the most genuine, honest, sweet, attentive, and loving people you could ever meet. Children naturally gravitate toward her, and it is easy to see why—they feel loved, comfortable, and genuinely cared for in her presence. After losing my grandmother during COVID, who was such an important source of support in my life, I was terrified and understandably nervous about having someone else care for my child. Having Ki there for us was truly a blessing. The love, reassurance, and peace of mind she gave me as a parent meant more than words can express. My child still talks about how much he misses her presence and how much he loved spending time with her. That speaks volumes about the kind of person she is and the lasting impression she leaves on children. She is trustworthy, dependable, nurturing, and truly exceptional. I would confidently recommend her to any family looking for someone who will care for their children with genuine love and compassion. Any child would be lucky to have her, and any parent would be fortunate to have the peace of mind that comes with knowing their little one is in such loving hands. She is truly the best!”
Vanessa $20 per hour for 1 child
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

"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."
