Hi! My name is Kayla, and I’m currently a law student at USC. I’m excited to spend my summer helping families with dependable, attentive, and engaging childcare. I’ve always loved working with children and have experience through tutoring, as well as growing up as 1 of 10 kids with many nieces and nephews. Being part of a big family has given me plenty of hands-on experience caring for children of different ages, and I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, positive, and fun environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves. Whether that means helping with homework, reading stories, getting creative with arts and crafts, exploring at the park, or doing mini science experiments, I love finding activities that keep children engaged and excited to learn. I’m responsible, organized, patient, and comfortable balancing busy schedules and high levels of responsibility. I’m happy to help wherever needed, whether that’s preparing simple meals, keeping routines on track, or lending an extra set of hands to make your family’s day run more smoothly. I also understand how important trust and communication are when it comes to childcare, and I strive to make both parents and children feel supported and at ease. I’m also very comfortable around pets! As the proud owner of a Saint Bernard and a Bernese Mountain Dog, I have plenty of experience caring for large dogs and would be happy to help in pet-friendly households (including homes with cats!). I would love the opportunity to connect with your family this summer and provide a caring, reliable presence for your children!
“Kayla is absolutely wonderful! She is easygoing and thoughtful, and my son loved his time with her. ”

I am a certified swimming instructor for the La Crescenta- La Cañada YMCA (as a hobby) I love to swim, play at the park, ride bicycles, read books, arts and crafts, coloring, take walks, play sports, play with toys, play music and dance, etc. I am fully vaccinated (COVID & Flu) and I can show you. My car and my driving record are impeccable. I am kind, loving, patient, nurturing, funny, reliable, punctual, and very responsible.

Hi parents! I have 15 years of babysitting experience, with as young as 3 months to 12years! I have a B.A. in Dance from Columbia College Chicago. I moved to LA in 2018 and I own a children’s dance studio in Burbank. I would love to work with your family! My video is very old from 2014 when I first joined Urbansitter, I need to update it.

“Alisha was very sweet and jumped right in to play with my 7 year old son. She played board games with him and baseball in the backyard and got him to bed easily. We would be happy to have Alisha back! ”
Hi Parents, I'm Sil, a multilingual babysitter with experience working with children of all ages and also with special needs. I love playing games, telling stories, and doing indoor/outdoor activities. My goal is to add value to your child's life, keep them engaged and safe at all times. I simply adore animals and often find myself lost in conversation with them for hours on end. It's truly amazing how much love and joy they bring into our lives. 💜 Can't wait to meet your family :)
I cherish the importance to blossom children's full potential and spark their curiosity through knowledge and play. From the bottom of my corazon and big bear hugs, I appreciate being part of your family through spending time with your precious treasures to create a loving and caring environment. I attend Santa Monica College. I've taken ECE courses and have field experience in preschools and church. Seeking Summer part time & a soon start. :)

"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."
