As a child, some of my fondest memories were with a fun and caring babysitter. I want to provide this similar positive experience for the next generation! Having fun is always a priority, and safety is always number one in my book. I recently obtained my bachelor's in psychology at UCSB with a focus in child development and neurodiversity, and am excited to begin my master's in social welfare at UCLA in fall 2026. I am passionate about positive youth development, and in my recent professional roles, I have provided ABA support to neurodiverse kids ages 3-16, infant development therapy for kids ages 0-3, and served as a case manager at a 24hr youth shelter for 12-17 year olds. Personally, I am an easily excited individual who enjoys the outdoors, animals, the beach, and learning new things!
“Elizabeth was great, I would definitely hire her again”
Hi - My name is Jasmine and I'm currently a junior at UCLA. I am offering child care services. I have experience in taking care of kids, I used to be a summer camp counselor for kids ages 7-12.
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 :)
“Lara has been incredibly kind, reliable, and professional. We feel so lucky to have her working with our daughter. She treats her with the utmost respect, and finds little moments to teach her colors, shapes, numbers, and letters. I overhear sweet conversations between them. Lara takes the time to truly listen to Rose and responds thoughtfully. She takes her to local parks and spends plenty of time there or in the garden, where Rose runs, climbs and explores until she's exhausted. It's rare to find such an attentive caregiver.”
Hi there! My name is Sabrina, and I’m a graphic designer living near Hermosa Beach. Originally from Oahu, I moved to Los Angeles to attend Pepperdine University and graduated in 2019. I have over 15 years of experience working with children in various roles, including as a day camp counselor, tutor, and nanny. I truly miss working with children, which is why I’m excited to rejoin Urbansitter. I’d love to create a positive, nurturing environment for your child. Please feel free to reach out—thank you!
I’m Haily, a 24 year old engineering student at USC! I am pursuing a dual degree in a Biomedical Engineering (B.S.) and Mechanical Engineering with an AI/ML specialization (M.S.) looking forward to finishing my collegiate career in December 2026. I am someone who loves fun activities like coloring, journaling, cooking, meditating and exploring nature. I have about 3 years of babysitting experience from babysitting my younger cousins in my hometown of Sacramento. I also have a younger sister who I love dearly that I grew up helping my mom taking care of! Additionally, I’ve tutoring 5th-8th grade students as a freelance tutor for the past 5 years, usually meeting these students in their home, building connections with parents, and helping them become more confident in all subjects, especially math! I’m the type of person that is intentional with everything I do and leads with a love ethic. I love working kids and am so excited to get started with babysitting here in Los Angeles.
“Haily is an exceptionally kind and patient person. She is dependable, professional and knows how to make anyone feel comfortable, even the shyest person. She is an amazing tutor and from what I know has a lot of experience tutoring kids of all ages. She prioritizes the needs of those around her and is always willing to help. I couldn’t recommend her more.”

"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."
