Hi! My name is Olivia, and I am from New York but have been living in LA for almost 4 years. I have 6-7 years of experience of working with kids from teaching skiing, nannying, and regular babysitting. In the past I would play board games, paint, and anything outdoors. My full time job is as an art director so I lean on the creative side to do painting, drawing, etc with the kiddos. Hope we can connect soon!
Dixie, my first pet, joined our family when I was just a year old, teaching me lessons of love, loyalty, patience, and protection. My deep affection for animals translates into special connections, and I care for them as if they were my own. I've mastered the art of training animals tricks. Recently I have trained my sister's new puppy to take treats gently, sit, and spin on command. Additionally, my cats now respond to the command to stand up. Animals have significantly contributed to my mental well-being, and I value the opportunity Rover provides to get out of the house to go on walks with new animal companions. Looking forward for the chance to meeting your furry friend soon❤️
“Cindy is always wonderful with our cats! ”
I aim to bring a sense of calm to busy families and always look for ways to ease parents' mental load by helping around the house. I've cared for kids of all ages from infants to teenagers and love finding fun and creative ways to engage kids in imaginative play. Whether your kids love sports, science, art, music, or maybe a cool niche hobby I've never heard of, I'm ready to meet them where they're at offering my full presence and attention.
Hello! My name is Sarah and I’m a former Elementary School Teacher and nanny. I’m currently offering occasional childcare to help busy families. 💛 I love working with children and witnessing their imaginative minds! My style is kind, playful, and warm with a gentle parenting approach. As a sitter, my top priority is your child’s safety and giving you the peace of mind that they’re in great hands. As a nanny & babysitter my responsibilities have included driving to/from school & activities, homework help, meal prep / bottle prep, light cleaning, and engaging in play. I am also comfortable and happy to work with most animals. Thank you, and looking forward to working with your kiddos! :)
“Sarah is a very professional, reliable, and knowledgeable caregiver. She used to serve as a guest teacher for my classroom and was always amazing with supporting my TK students academically, socially, and emotionally. Sarah has worked with many ages and is great with all of them! I know that when Sarah is taking care of someone, they are in some of the most loving and gentle hands. When I have a child/children, I would fully trust her with them.”

"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
