I am a dependable, compassionate, and patient caregiver with extensive experience supporting children and families. As an employee of LAUSD, I have been thoroughly vetted through government background checks and professional screening requirements. I am fully bilingual in English and Spanish, allowing me to communicate effectively with diverse families. My experience includes working with children of varying ages and needs, providing academic support, supervision, homework assistance, and emotional encouragement. Families appreciate my reliability, strong communication skills, organization, and commitment to creating a safe, positive, and nurturing environment. I am trustworthy, adaptable, and dedicated to providing high-quality care tailored to each family’s unique needs.
Hi there! My name is Frankie -- it's so good to meet you! I am 28, finishing out a Bachelors in Illustration, with a minor in Art Education. In the last few years I worked as a Senior Recreation Leader, specializing in toddler classes that are both fun, educational, and encourage development of both gross and fine motor skills. I also assisted in After School Programs for older kids, and led cooking classes for children ages 6-11. Working with children of all ages is the most rewarding work I've ever done, and I look forward to working with you!
I love children! I helped raise my (fraternal twin brothers). I have a reputation for my warm, caring nature, and for being reliable and trustworthy. I have been a nanny (in Nashville) to an infant and to a toddler and school aged child (also in Nashville). I have also been a nanny/tutor to a school-aged girl in Los Angeles, and a special-needs school-aged boy in Los Angeles. My main profession is writing, but I am seeking a side hustle to give me a chance to spend time around kids and also to supplement my writing work income since AI is stealing some of my work. = ) I have GREAT references!
Hello families! During the day, I am a Substitute Teacher for K-12 charter schools. In addition, I am a Tutor specializing in ESL, ELA and Reading Comprehention. I have a Master's degree in Teaching English as a Foreign Language and I've served in the Peace Corps as a TEFL Teacher and Trainer (Ukraine, 2[removed], and Uzbekistan 2002-2005. ) I am a very caring, fun and creative caregiver who thinks outside of the box! I like to create fun activities to keep the kids busy and engaged. Not a big fan of Tech for play or entertainment! I prefer Reading books/Storytelling, Arts & Crafts, Games, Outdoor Play, Music & Movement for the little ones (play a little bit of guitar), and Cooking. Lastly, I like helping out with pets and have experience with Seniors as well!
“Vickie has been our go-to person for house/dog sitting for approximately 15 years. She is responsible, reliable, clean, and trustworthy with kids and fur-babies. She has a vast experience with kids, typical and special needs, which is how we first came to know Vickie. Taking care of our dog was yet another positive and rewarding experience. We know call Vickie our good friend. We highly recommend her for Urban Sitters.”
Hi everyone! My name is Nicole and I am currently pursuing a doctorate degree in Occupational Therapy at USC. OT is a healthcare profession that focuses on "occupations" needed for daily activities and routines. Occupations can include self-care activities like bathing, dressing, or hobbies that are important and meaningful to the individual I have experience working with kids through two different tutoring jobs I had in the past. I also interned at a memory care facility for older adults with dementia. Aside from that, I have gained multiple experiences and knowledge about working with people who have physical and cognitive disabilities through school. I am also available to run errands if needed. As a grad student, I am looking for part-time opportunities to support my studies! Looking forward to meeting you all.
“Nicole has been wonderful with my son! She is reliable, caring, responsible, and very easy to communicate with. She handles school pickups and takes great care of him while I’m at work, which gives me great peace of mind. My son is comfortable with her, and I really appreciate her patience, dependability, and positive attitude. She has been a great help to our family, and I would highly recommend Nicole to any parent looking for a trustworthy and caring nanny or babysitter. We’ve had a great experience with her!”

"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!"
