Hi, I’m Kaylee! I would love to be your fun and nurturing babysitter. Some of my favorite things are cats, dancing, acting, baking, and reading. My first professional experience in childcare was as a daycare caregiver for three years, helping create a safe environment for babies to school aged children. From there I transitioned to private nannying for two wonderful children. We spent our days adventuring outside, making arts and crafts, having dance parties, and playing make believe. I had the privilege of many Los Angeles families entrusting me to care for their little ones. I am now offering my services as an occasional and part time babysitter for date nights, school pickups, backup care, or just when you’re needing a little break! 🔤 Native English speaker ⛑️ First aid and CPR certificatied (baby, child, and adult) 🚙 Valid drivers license and safe vehicle ✅ Clean background check through Urbansitter ✍️ Five star reviews on Urbansitter ☺️ Patience and empathy - practicing gentle parenting 🍼 Eight years of childcare experience ages newborn to high school 🖍️ Activity and craft planning 📚 Homework help 🛝 Active play and exercise 🍽️ Meal and snack preparation 🐈⬛ Pet friendly 💉 Fully vaccinated 🤟 Novice ASL - I know basic signs and practice new ones everyday!

Hi! I’m Fatima 😊 I have tons of experience babysitting, I started caring for kids when I was around 15/16, and it quickly became something I genuinely love. Childcare has always felt natural to me. I’m reliable, patient, communicative, and really good at balancing fun with structure. I’ve completed college credits in Child Development, worked as a preschool teacher, and in an after school program with middle school students. I also have experience as a Behavioral Therapist for children with special needs, which strengthened my skills in adapting to each child’s unique needs, supporting routines, and staying calm in challenging moments. I love the chance to support your family. Thank you for checking out my profile I’d be happy to bring a mix of fun, learning, and care to your little one’s day! 💛
“Fatima was great! My son felt comfortable with her and she played with him and got him to bed without any problems. We’d definitely book her again.”
I love having an active lifestyle. I’ve been babysitting for the past sixteen years. When I’m not babysitting, I teach children from 4-18 years old how to play golf. I love to complete puzzles, play outside, and play with toys. When it comes to deciding one over the other, I would much rather read to your children than have them stare at a television screen. I believe children learn better when they are less reliant on technology for entertainment.
“Ih she's wonderful! Good energy, on time, great communication. My kid just laughed and laughed! She plays well with the kids. So glad to have found her.”
Hello! My name is Sonia. I have been working with youth (K-12th) in academic/social settings for 8+ yrs. I have experience as a before/after school leader for organizations such as, YMCA and Viva El Español. I currently work full-time with mommies and their babies (0-5 yo). I'm available after 5pm on most weekdays and weekends in the evening/night. Feel free to contact me with any questions!
“Amazing! Will use again:) ”
Hi! I'm Abra. I have experience as a nanny, resort children's program director, and instructor for maritime/marine biology camps. I have experience as a private chef during covid as well as private deckhand/stew. I enjoy cooking. I loved having the opportunity to be a stay at home mom for many years to my daughter, who is now 19, and in college. I currently work part time as a marine surveyor on container ships and oil tankers. In my free time I love to go tidepooling, and I have a native wildflower project I've been working on by myself for several years in Laurel Canyon. I can make an art, craft or science project out of just about anything. I have a ton of silly songs I know by heart, and still love to play. I also have experience with volunteer hospice care and limited mobility care.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
