Hello! My name is Jayla and I am a recent NYU graduate who now works as a documentary producer. Growing up with twin toddler brothers, I’ve gained hands-on experience in all aspects of toddler and baby care, from diaper changes to nap routines. I've been babysitting for several years and am comfortable with children of all ages. I’m patient, reliable, and love creating fun, engaging environments for kids. I also make sure to keep parents updated and respect your child’s routine. I’d love to meet your little one(s) and provide them with a safe and enjoyable experience!
“Do yourself (and your little ones) a favor and hire this girl! - Jayla is patient, warm, and communicative, and my little one took to her fairly quickly! ”
Hello! My name is Caitlin, and I am an actor with a passion for positively impacting the lives of children (complete with silly faces and voices)! I recently combined my two passions by hosting a children’s web series focused on having a growth mindset called Big Life Journal Buddies. I am originally from from the East Coast and graduated summa cum laude from Temple University in 2015. In addition to over 10 years of babysitting, mentoring students, and leading sports camps, I have two years of experience as a coach in a top youth soccer program that focuses just as much on character development as it does soccer fundamentals. I have also nannied for a Beverly Hills family including an 8 and 12 year old for one school year. My responsibilities included picking up two brothers from school, taking them to activities, preparing their snacks and meals, helping with homework, and engaging them in play. While I love to let my inner child out, my priority is making sure your child is safe under the guidance you provide. I look forward to speaking with you! Sincerely, Caitlin
Hello! I am Los Angeles based, working part time in advertising and looking for a regular part time or occasional childcare position, ideally 10-15 hours a week. I am one of six kids and began working with children at the age of 13. I'm now in my thirties, with many years of nannying behind me. I have taken care of children of all ages and stages of childhood. I have been certified in CPR in the past, and would be willing to update that certification if needed. I am fun, present, and engaging with children. I believe in the importance of enjoying nature, and will often take children on hikes or other outdoor excursions. As a former ballet dancer, I have taught children's dance classes and encourage creative expression in whichever form it might appear. In prior nanny positions I've offered tutoring/homework help with elementary and high school courses. I'm happy to cook, have no problem dropping off/picking up at school, and do have my own vehicle if any transportation is needed. I am also willing to do light house cleaning. I encourage creativity and growth with the children and allow for a fun and safe environment to learn and play, while being sensitive to each little one's individual needs. Thank you for your interest and I look forward to getting to know you and your family!
“Fantastic, highly recommend. Punctual, communicative, and attentive!”
Hi there, I’m Avalon! I am an actor and recently moved to Los Angeles from Manhattan where I attended NYU’s Grad Acting program at Tisch School of the Arts. I spent nearly a decade in Manhattan, where I first moved in 2015 to pursue my undergraduate degree at Fordham University. Soon after my arrival, I started professionally nannying around Manhattan and Brooklyn. Throughout my 10+ years of experience, I have provided for families with a variety of needs. From taking care of a newborns, to after school care, to assisting in household management, I have done it all. I have found that my artistic pursuits as well as my experience in teaching theater school-age children complement my child care work extremely well. I’m known for bringing a lot of joy and play into my time with kids. Further, intuition, imagination and creativity come naturally to me, which allows me to come up with thoughtful and creative solutions for conflict resolution and other obstacles. Feel free to contact me if you think we could be a great fit! I look forward to learning about your family, and sharing more about my experience and approach. All best, Avalon :)
“Absolutely loved Avalon! She was great with both of my kids and she had a wonderful personality!!!! Will use again very soon!”

"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."
