Haily 2 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child

I’m Haily, a 24 year old engineering student at USC! I am pursuing a dual degree in a Biomedical Engineering (B.S.) and Mechanical Engineering with an AI/ML specialization (M.S.) looking forward to finishing my collegiate career in December 2026. I am someone who loves fun activities like coloring, journaling, cooking, meditating and exploring nature. I have about 3 years of babysitting experience from babysitting my younger cousins in my hometown of Sacramento. I also have a younger sister who I love dearly that I grew up helping my mom taking care of! Additionally, I’ve tutoring 5th-8th grade students as a freelance tutor for the past 5 years, usually meeting these students in their home, building connections with parents, and helping them become more confident in all subjects, especially math! I’m the type of person that is intentional with everything I do and leads with a love ethic. I love working kids and am so excited to get started with babysitting here in Los Angeles.

“Haily is an exceptionally kind and patient person. She is dependable, professional and knows how to make anyone feel comfortable, even the shyest person. She is an amazing tutor and from what I know has a lot of experience tutoring kids of all ages. She prioritizes the needs of those around her and is always willing to help. I couldn’t recommend her more.”

Booked by 4 families in Bell Gardens, 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 ❤️

“Darya 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 ☺️”

Nancy $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Bell Gardens, CA

My name is Nancy. I am the first born daughter of 8 children. I’ve been helping my mom take care of my siblings which have built the foundation of my profession. I’m currently a preschool teacher and have previous experience with being a substitute teacher for about 6 years. Through substituting, I was able to obtain a lot of my professional experience. I’ve been to a vast amount of daycares where I got to see and learn different learning styles in children as well as different approaches to learning and teaching children to achieve their milestones. I’ve been in a classroom where I’ve had to potty train and can say I was able to learn a few techniques. I’ve also been “long-term” in some sites where I was able to grow a bond with some of the children and celebrate their success. I do have a sibling with Asperger’s autism who is 15, so I have some experience with children on the spectrum.
