Hi! My name is Caitlyn , I am 22 years old, and I have recently moved to California from New York. My love for working with children started when I was around 8 years old when my mother opened her own preschool. Since she opened her school I spent as much time as I could there, helping every summer during summer camps, brainstorming new craft ideas, and helping her make sure each day was fun and exciting for the children. Through working with her for years I was able to get babysitting jobs for a variety of families. I used my knowledge of fun activities, crafts, and games from working at the preschool to make sure every time I was a sitter was a fun time for the kids. I have always loved the way children keep me on my toes and keep me curious about the world. I currently live in North Hollywood, I have a very flexible schedule, and have a car!
Hi, I’m Mary Ellen (M.E. for short). I’m a warm, compassionate, attentive caretaker and graduate student. I’m looking for part-time to full-time opportunities while I complete my degree. I have experience with infants, toddlers, pre-teens, special needs adults, and pets. I currently provide community habilitation services to young women with autism and intellectual disabilities, including remote job coaching, mentorship, and executive functioning support. With years of reporting, interviewing, and managing complex workflows as a journalist, I bring strong communication, patience, and problem-solving skills to caregiving. My background has trained me to stay calm under pressure, listen closely, and respond thoughtfully when supporting my clients. I’m organized, dependable, and skilled at creating structure while encouraging independence and creativity. My experience collaborating with diverse communities has strengthened my ability to connect with individuals from different backgrounds and build trust quickly. Above all, I’m empathetic and committed to fostering a safe, positive environment where each individual feels heard, supported, and engaged.
Hi my name is Nellie. I am offering child care and household services. I am a creative, silly, and compassionate. I love working with kids and have worked as a camp counselor and an art instructor (teaching everything from stained glass and dark room photography to spaghetti themed theater). I am also able to help with pets, cooking, tutoring, and any household chores.
Hi! I am Lizzie, a bubbly 24 year old consultant looking to make some extra money living in the city. I graduated from Emory University in 2023 with a BBA. I loved working in my synagogue in high school and have continued tutoring students throughout my adulthood. I am Red Cross babysitting certified for all ages and have experience with young adults with special needs ages 10-30. Additionally, I have experience tutoring in Math, French, and Hebrew extensively. Inquire for school or bar/bar mitzvah tutoring. Happy to work with you and your family outside of M-F 9-5 as I have a corporate job. Inquire about additional services such as grocery shopping, household organization, and meal prepping. If I work after dark I ask that you additionally pay for my uber home. Thank you!

"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
