As the oldest of eight cousins on my mom’s side, I’ve been looking after younger kids since I was young. I’ve babysat children of all ages and even ran a kids’ softball camp where I made sure everyone felt included, had fun, and learned new skills in a safe environment. I’m CPR certified and comfortable helping with homework, preparing meals, and planning creative or active playtime. In addition to childcare, I have a big heart for animals. I have my own dog and have also been dog-sitting for over 7 years—feeding, walking, playing, and making sure pets are well cared for while their owners are away. I’m familiar with different breeds and comfortable around large animals and pets that shed. When it comes to household services, I’m happy to help with anything that makes your life easier—cleaning, laundry, running errands, organizing, whatever you need! Whether it’s kids, pets, or general help around the house, I’m here to help however I can!
“Amelia arrived early which is always refreshing. She was so sweet and proactive about wanting to find what interests my kids have. She was so hands on with play, followed my guidelines/rules of the house, and tidied up as requested. She stayed a little later because we were running late. My kids raved all the next day what a fun time they had with her. She is professional yet fun, responsible and trustworthy. We would very highly recommend Amelia.”
I’m Vera! I’m a mother of a 9 year old kiddo who understands the troubles of finding good childcare. I have experience with all ages of children and elder care. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have!
I have an extensive background in caring for children of all ages, and I genuinely enjoy creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment for every child I look after. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and adaptable to each child’s unique personality, needs, and developmental stage. I love keeping kids engaged through creative activities, games, outdoor play, and meaningful interactions while also making sure their routines, safety, and well-being always come first. I’m someone who brings positive energy, warmth, and a fun personality into the home, and I enjoy building genuine connections with the children and families I work with.
Hi families, my name is Songül but I go by Sonia. I am a reliable and attentive nanny with hands-on experience caring for children of different ages. I focus on creating a safe, structured, and nurturing environment where children feel secure and supported. I value consistency, routines, and open communication with families. I studied dental technology in Istanbul and I am currently continuing my education in the U.S. I am patient, responsible, and truly care about each child’s well-being.
Hello! I am a PhD Student in Sociology, where I focus on the sociology of childhood and education. Beyond my research, I have had lots of experience working with kids - casually as a babysitter, but also more formally at a variety of summer camps. I am new to Los Angeles (from London, England) and have enjoyed exploring all the wonderful parks and enjoying the sun. Hope I can do more with your child(ren) sometime soon :)
“Kids immediately warmed to Lara and had such fun playing with her! Will definitely hire again. ”

"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
