Hello, my name is Vivian. I currently am enrolled in my 2nd year of a Radiologic technologist program. I also work Part time as a Medical Assistant with 8 years of experience. I am CPR certified. I have been babysitting since I was a teenager. I’ve cared for children aged newborns to teens. I enjoy making memories with children as simple as watching a fun movie, creating crafts, spending time outdoors or having dance parties. I also have some experience with Senior care. Simple tasks including daily activities such as house work, meal prep, cooking, feeding assistance, dressing, shopping, etc. I have plenty of experience caring for Dogs and cats as well. I currently have a Doberman and a few cats. Can help with walks or just play time, feedings and light cleaning.
Hi! I’m Dakota, I am a 2025 graduate from Palos Verdes Highschool, now entering my freshman year at Harbor College. I will be 19 years old in January. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I am starting a new job at Creative Brain Learning as an after school teacher at Crestwood Elementary in Rancho Palos Verdes. Dance has always been a passion of mine, in high-school, I was on the song team (dance/pom) so I am very spirited and outgoing. I have extensive experience as a caregiver. I am the oldest of 2 younger siblings that I care for and 5+ years of experience with sitting. I have babysat in the past for neighborhood families through other sitting apps such as Bambino. In the past summers, I would work at La Primera Preschool with all the younger children. I would assist the caregivers and teachers in changing diapers, cleaning, and watching the children play, etc. I can prepare simple meals for your child, help your child with homework, and I am great with pets! I can also do late nights if you need more time while you’re out! I work from a place of empathy and kindness. I would love to hear from you!

Hi!Hi! My name is Layyy. If given the opportunity, I’d be thrilled to care for your little one. I’m going into my third year of college as a music major with over several years in the field of youth work and child development– as I am a community organizer, facilitator, and oldest child of five lol.I love creating a safe and joyful place where little ones can explore, learn and just be themselves. With my love for music and art I'd be thrilled to bring lots of creative and playful energy. Singing, dancing, mini jam sessions, museum trips lol, you name it. On top of all of that, I'd say I'm a very reliable and thoughtful person. I am passionate about working with youth and the field of childcare because I believe every child's unique spirit deserves to be celebrated- including yours. Hope to hear from you 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."
