Hello! I’m currently a student at UC Berkeley studying Biology and Nutritional Sciences. I love working with kids and I’m part of a club where we go to classrooms to teach kids about nutrition in a fun and engaging way. I’m also very crafty, speak Spanish, and could help with any pets as well as some homework help!
Hi! My name is Maggie and I am a 26yr old NC native that’s been in LA for 1.5 years. I’ve worked with kids of all ages my whole life as a tutor, nanny, summer camp counselor, lifeguard, babysitter, and aunt of 4 toddlers. I have a full license and clean driving record. I love arts and crafts, cooking and doing anything outside.
Hi! I’m Michelle, owner of Mama’s Little Helper. I’m a reliable, patient caregiver with experience supporting kids, seniors, and busy households. I’m calm under pressure, great with routines, and I love helping families feel organized, safe, and cared for.
Hi! My name is McKenna, and I have a strong passion for working with children and supporting families. I worked at Build-A-Bear Workshop for a little under a year, gaining hands-on experience creating fun, engaging, and positive experiences for kids of all ages. I love being a positive role model and bringing a warm, encouraging presence into every environment. I am very energetic and naturally adapt to each child's personality and energy level. Whether that means keeping up with active play or creating calm, structured moments, I can meet kids where they are. I am also very patient, understanding, and attentive, which helps me build trust and strong connections with both children and parents. I have experience working with a wide age range, from 1 to 17-year-olds, and I value open communication with families to ensure the best possible care. I am currently in school studying to become a child therapist, so I am especially passionate about emotional support, development, and helping children feel safe and understood. I am very creative and imaginative, and I love coming up with fun activities, games, and ways to keep kids engaged and happy. I am also more than happy to provide a reference from my time at Build-A-Bear Workshop!
Hi! I'm Polly. I work in the film industry and also teach yoga in the early mornings. I own a small business where I lead children's yoga, Mommy & Me classes, and arts and crafts experiences designed to encourage creativity, confidence, and mindfulness. I'm a creative person who loves working with children and creating fun, engaging, and safe environments where they can learn and grow. For the past three and a half years, I've worked as a part-time nanny with multiple families from different backgrounds and have built strong, long-term relationships with them. I have excellent references available upon request. I'm comfortable with pets, have a clean driving record, and am a confident driver. I speak English, Portuguese, and Spanish, which allows me to connect with families from diverse backgrounds. I'd love the opportunity to support your family :)
“Polly is a wonderful caregiver! She has cared for my 5 year old son and 3 year old daughter many times and they absolutely adore her. Polly is able to adapt to their different interests and personalities perfectly. I highly recommend Polly, she’s a gem!”

"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."
Laura F., mom of two
