I have a masters degree in education and have worked with kids of all ages both in and out of the classroom for nearly 20 years. I have been a babysitter, teacher, nanny and camp counselor and would love the opportunity to support you and yours with laughter, learning and fun! Personally, I love the outdoors, reading, writing, dancing, traveling and I love spending time with the people I love. Thanks so much for your time and consideration in advance! As a special education teacher, I am also offering online tutoring at the elementary level as well in the areas of reading intervention and math. Please send me a message if you are interested. Please note: I have a 4 hour minimum for babysitting and do charge for hours booked. Cash is always preferred whenever possible. Thank you greatly!
“Fantastic. Will absolutely hire again!”

Hello, My name is Lauryn, I’m 26 years old, and I have been a babysitter/nanny for over 8 years now working with children of all ages! I am passionate about helping kids learn and grow while making sure to still have fun along the way. I graduated from Sonoma State University in 2020 with my Bachelor’s in Business Management. I also just completed my Multiple Subject Credential to become an elementary school teacher! My current rate is $22 per hour for one child that is *above* 3 years of age and $25 per hour for one child that is *under* 3 years of age. I have plenty of references that I can provide for you as well. A majority of my experience comes from making local connections in my community. I can't wait to meet you and your family! - Lauryn

Hi there! I'm Scarlett, and I'm a volunteer teacher and a third year at the University of Southern California (USC). I adore children and have been nannying, babysitting, tutoring, and pet sitting for about 7 years (CPR, AED, and First Aid Certified!) I'm super energetic, caring, and attentive, and make sure that I adapt to kids' varying personalities. I also am a confident driver and feel comfortable in the kitchen preparing meals. Hobbies include playing guitar and piano and anything outdoors, whether that be hiking, skiing, or biking!

"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."
