Nice to meet you! I’m Kate, a 37 year old career nanny who moved from Chicago to LA in 2021 for a jet-setting/bi-coastal, travel heavy nanny position, and once the position ended, I decided to stay out here permanently. I live in Orange County with my girlfriend, and work M-Th, 7a-7p, in Studio City. My previous position was Jan ‘23- Nov ‘24. My background has always been in early childhood, and majored in early childhood education in college. I have years of experience with all age ranges and backgrounds: from kids who thrive in group settings to kids that do best with individualized, 1:1 care to kids who are neurodivergent. My first and top priority is the safety and wellbeing. Second is play, exploration, imagination, creativity, and seeing kids explore based on what they are into and things they find interesting. Third is, in my day-to-day, I take a child-centered approach. Including, but not limited to: time outside, walks, going to playgrounds, and finding activities within the home that the kids enjoy. My experience includes: working as a in-home support worker with neurodivergent kids, have worked at 3 early childhood centers (both as an assistant teacher and lead teacher); and all my experience has been from newborn to school age. In my free time: I love checking out new restaurants, adventuring the outdoors with my girlfriend, finding new trails to hike on AllTrails, the beach, and weekend trips

Hey there, my name is Jenny. Nice to meet you! I have been working with Urbansitter since 2013, and I have made meaningful connections with families over the years. Though I’m currently pursuing a doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, I still find joy in babysitting when my schedule allows. I’m known for being patient, goofy, and communicative. My professional background is rooted in hospitality and technology, but I’ve always had a passion for working with kids in diverse settings. I coach volleyball and volunteer as a camp counselor at The Painted Turtle Camp. I’ve also had the privilege of tutoring elementary school kids via Reading Partners and mentoring with Access Youth Academy. Each of these experiences has enriched my ability to connect with kids and support their growth in fun and creative ways.

Jennifer was very nice and our 3 boys really liked spending the evening with her! She was professional and timely and even honored our request to speak Spanish with our children while she was babysitting them. Would definitely use again as a babysitter.

Hi! My name is Rana and I’m 23 years old, currently in my 4th year of pharmacy school. I have experience babysitting toddlers/ kids among family/ friends as well child-care volunteering for community events. I love spending time with kids and would describe myself as very social so I can spark up a convo and keep kids entertained! I’m dedicated to making sure they have a fun, safe, and healthy time. I can assist with their studies, arts/ crafts, cleaning, playtime, and light cooking. I also have two 2 cats and prior cat-sitting experience. I’m mainly available on weekends and weekday evenings. I’m also CPR certified, can administer injections/ medications if needed, and am mental health first aid certified as well!

Hi! My name is Eloisa I am 25 years old. I've been working with kids since I was 14 years old. I am offering childcare. I've taken care of kids from the ages of 1 month- 13 years old. The children I cared for were mostly from family and friends. Recently I did take care of 2 kids outside of my family. Which I worked with them for a little over a year. My responsibilities were driving to/from school, light cooking, helping with homework, laundry, and driving them to their after school activities. As well as overnight stays when the parents needed to travel. I did a lot of activities with the kids such as take them out to the park, bowling, crafts, baking, and etc. I am very compassionate person, adaptable, patient, and willing to learn new things if needed. Aside from this job I have worked with multiple other kids ranging from 1 month old to 14 years old. Some being one time or occasional jobs which I have enjoyed doing. I can talk more about these experiences if needed it's just a lot to write it. I went back to school earlier this year and I took a few child development classes and I have in the past as well. :)

Ryan Placentia
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ryan. I am 22 years old and I am currently an undergraduate student at Cal State Fullerton for my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I am offering child care and pet care! I am a Registered Behavioral Technician (RBT) with over two years of experience working with children with autism and other developmental disabilities. I use ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy techniques to help kids build new skills, reach their goals, and improve daily behaviors in a clinic or home setting. This work has taught me patience, empathy, and how to adapt to each child’s unique personality and needs. Before becoming an RBT, I spent years as a competitive dancer since age 3 and later worked as an assistant dance teacher for children ages 4–12. I love bringing creativity, movement, and play into my time with kids to keep things fun and engaging. I grew up in Palm Springs but now live in Orange County, and I occasionally visit my hometown, so I’m open to jobs in both areas. I’m also happy to provide pet care! My family has a beagle, and I have hands-on experience with dog walking, feeding, and playtime (cats included!). I’m comfortable caring for large animals too. Outside of work, I love music, dancing, festivals, concerts, fashion, shopping, arts and crafts, reading, movies, and anything creative. I’d describe myself as outgoing and adventurous, with a genuine passion for helping others and learning new things.
