Booked by 4 families in West Hollywood, 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. šŸ‘¼šŸ» 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 ā¤ļø

ā€œDarya responded quick our communication and was punctual on the day of. She is kind, and my son (5 y) loved her!!! We will definitely use her services again and highly recommend ā˜ŗļøā€

Lainey $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi there. My name is Lainey! I have 5 years of nannying experience and 8 years of babysitting experience. I have worked with children of all ages, and have been told that I am a great tutor for elementary and middle school aged children. My longest term nannying job was for a family with an ADHD child, so I also have experience with children who need extra attention. I recently left my corporate job to pursue work I’m passionate about, and that has led me back to childcare! Overall, I am a curious, compassionate, sometimes-funny person who enjoys working hard and finding joy everywhere I can. During two days of my week I am in class, but I have open availability in the mornings and most afternoons :) I have a license, a reliable car, zero speeding tickets, basic first aid knowledge, and solid cooking skills. Please reach out to me with any additional questions or requests for references! :)

Booked by 3 families in West Hollywood, CA

Hello! I am a PhD Student in Sociology, where I focus on the sociology of childhood and education. Beyond my research, I have had lots of experience working with kids - casually as a babysitter, but also more formally at a variety of summer camps. I am new to Los Angeles (from London, England) and have enjoyed exploring all the wonderful parks and enjoying the sun. Hope I can do more with your child(ren) sometime soon :)

ā€œKids immediately warmed to Lara and had such fun playing with her! Will definitely hire again. ā€

"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!"
