Find an emergency babysitter in Tarzana, CA

Hi! I'm Darya - an international student from Belarus. I have lived in the US for 4 years, and before UrbanSitter I cared for pets (Rover.com) and worked as a barista at Universal Studios. Back at home, I spent more than 10 years caring for my younger cousins. So I can be relied upon with kids of all ages from 3 to 15 :) I would describe myself as a cheerful and calm person, open to feedback and willing to make friends with kids. As for my availability, right now I am pretty much always free for several months! Please reach out if you need any of the following: babysitter, petsitter, household assistant. 👼🏻 I can cook, clean, run errands, create fun activities for kids, sing, draw, study and play with them. 🦮 I am also experienced in walking dogs and watching cats. Let me know if you have any further questions and I hope to meet you soon ❤️

I’m so happy to be a nanny! I’ve had the pleasure of caring for infants, toddlers, and older kids. My job involved supporting families with their children’s needs, such as feeding, helping them learn, and making sure they had fun with walks to the park or library, or even driving them to and from school. I speak both English and Spanish, and I’m CPR certified with a clean driving record. I have my own transportation with a clean driving record; else, I’m a non-smoker. I’m also quite flexible with my schedule and can work some weekends. Sorry I don’t have too many reviews, but I’ve been working with the same families for a while.

Hi! I’m a developmental therapist with a genuine passion for working with children and supporting their growth, confidence, and emotional well-being. I currently work with children ages 3–10 while pursuing my Master’s in Counseling Psychology with a focus on Marriage and Family Therapy. I also have a Bachelor’s degree in Child and Adolescent Development, with a concentration in Youth Work and Out-of-School Time. I’ve spent over six years working with children in a variety of settings, including schools, preschools, camps, and families’ homes. I’ve worked in special education with LAUSD, taught preschool in both San Francisco and Portland, and spent four years as a camp counselor with Camp Galileo. These experiences have given me the opportunity to work with children of different ages, personalities, and needs, and have taught me how important it is to meet each child where they are. I also have several years of nannying experience and have worked with around seven different families. I’ve helped with everything from weekly childcare and school pickups to overnight trips, meal preparation, bedtime routines, arts and crafts, homework, and keeping children engaged throughout the day. I really enjoy creating a balance between structure and fun—whether that means getting creative with an activity, heading outside to play, helping with homework, or simply being a caring and dependable presence for a child. Outside of my professional work, I’ve always been passionate about giving back to children and families. I’ve volunteered with organizations such as Safe & Sound, where I provided peer counseling and support, and Reading Partners, where I tutored elementary school children who were working to improve their reading skills. I would describe myself as warm, patient, responsible, and easygoing. I truly enjoy getting to know each child as an individual and creating a relationship where they feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to be themselves. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and see how I can be a helpful part of your child’s life!

Hey there! My name is Olivia and I am a professional nanny and family assistant located in Los Angeles. I’ve been working as a nanny for about 10 years and have experience with children of all ages (infants, toddlers, elementary-school, middle-school). Over 5 years of those were working full-time for various high-profile families in San Francisco. Given my experience as a family assistant, I am eager to help out in any way your family needs—whether it is organizing, doing dishes, cooking meals, or doing laundry. I have my B.A. magna cum laude in English and Comparative Literature from UCLA and my MFA in Creative Writing from SJSU. Before my return to nannying, I worked as a 6th-12th grade English teacher in Palo Alto. That said, I can also offer basic tutoring or homework help for your child. I am happy to match your family’s style as needed. Generally, I use a RIE/respectful parenting approach when providing childcare (I have a RIE certification for nannying). I can provide household duties as needed (cleanup, laundry, errands, etc.) I also have a reliable car that I can use for childcare duties if need be. I am also a huge animal lover and open to pet care/pet sitting as needed! I look forward to meeting you!
