Hi - My name is Lisvet and I'm currently a senior at UCLA. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even dance lessons. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands.
Hi, my name is Amy! I am a recent Physician Assistant graduate and EMT with a few months off before starting my job. My schedule is wide open right now until mid January. Previously, I have babysat numerous families and nannied two full summers with babies/kids of all ages. I am energetic and fun while also responsible and caring. I love being in the outdoors, dancing, and playing games! I have completed multiple CPR trainings and am well equipped to help in most emergency situations. As an EMT and PA I have worked with many kids as well. Please contact me if you think I would be a good fit for your family!
Hi, I’m Meeka! I just moved to new york and I’m currently in college and will be graduating this December with a degree in Finance. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14, and for the past 4 years I’ve gained nannying experience with children from infancy through age 12. I’ve also handled a few overnight stays, so I’m comfortable with longer care when needed. I love building fun, safe, and nurturing environments for kids, and I’m patient and adaptable to each child’s needs. Alongside childcare, I’m also great with pets—I have two dogs of my own and absolutely love cats, so furry family members are always a bonus for me! I look forward to supporting families with reliable care, whether it’s for a few hours or something more regular.
I’m an art teacher with nearly 10 years of experience working with children of various ages. Over the years, I’ve worked as an after-school counselor, a camp counselor, and currently as a full-time teacher. These roles have given me a strong foundation in child development, classroom management, and creating engaging, structured environments where kids feel both supported and inspired. What makes me a great caregiver is my personality as much as my experience. I’m very personable, patient, and kind, and I naturally connect with children by being a bit silly and playful while still maintaining clear boundaries. I believe in building genuine relationships with kids—so they feel safe, heard, and comfortable being themselves—not just seeing me as an authority figure. In addition to childcare, I’m also comfortable supporting light household needs and maintaining an organized, calm environment. As for pets, I grew up with cats and currently have one of my own, so I’m very familiar with daily pet care, feeding routines, and understanding animal behavior. I’m comfortable caring for cats and open to supporting families with pets as well. Overall, I bring a balance of creativity, responsibility, warmth, and structure to any caregiving role.
Hi! My name is Loly. I offer childcare and pet care services. I enjoy working with children and have experience caring for toddlers and older kids. My responsibilities have included playing with them, doing crafts, bedtime routine. I am also comfortable taking care of pets. I can help with light household tasks such as organizing clothes, loading the dishwasher, and unloading it. I'm responsible, patient, respectful, and enjoy creating a safe and positive environment for children.

"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."
