Hi! My name is Kayla, and I’m currently a law student at USC. I’m excited to spend my summer helping families with dependable, attentive, and engaging childcare. I’ve always loved working with children and have experience through tutoring, as well as growing up as 1 of 10 kids with many nieces and nephews. Being part of a big family has given me plenty of hands-on experience caring for children of different ages, and I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, positive, and fun environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves. Whether that means helping with homework, reading stories, getting creative with arts and crafts, exploring at the park, or doing mini science experiments, I love finding activities that keep children engaged and excited to learn. I’m responsible, organized, patient, and comfortable balancing busy schedules and high levels of responsibility. I’m happy to help wherever needed, whether that’s preparing simple meals, keeping routines on track, or lending an extra set of hands to make your family’s day run more smoothly. I also understand how important trust and communication are when it comes to childcare, and I strive to make both parents and children feel supported and at ease. I’m also very comfortable around pets! As the proud owner of a Saint Bernard and a Bernese Mountain Dog, I have plenty of experience caring for large dogs and would be happy to help in pet-friendly households (including homes with cats!). I would love the opportunity to connect with your family this summer and provide a caring, reliable presence for your children!

Kayla is absolutely wonderful! She is easygoing and thoughtful, and my son loved his time with her.

Hello! My name is Cassandra and I'm 32 years old. I graduated from San Francisco State University in 2016, with a major in Technical and Professional Writing. I'm originally from LA and I moved back once I graduated. I currently work in Finance as an EA. I've been working with kids since I was 15 years old. I've worked with kids mostly between the ages of 2 and 8. I'm extremely patient with kids and I definitely know how to keep them busy. I have some experience with toddlers but not a ton. I am a fast learner though. : )

Cassandra is a super star!! Thank you!!!!

Hi parents! I have 15 years of babysitting experience, with as young as 3 months to 12years! I have a B.A. in Dance from Columbia College Chicago. I moved to LA in 2018 and I own a children’s dance studio in Burbank. I would love to work with your family! My video is very old from 2014 when I first joined Urbansitter, I need to update it. Alisha

Alisha was very sweet and jumped right in to play with my 7 year old son. She played board games with him and baseball in the backyard and got him to bed easily. We would be happy to have Alisha back!

Hey Parents! My name is Jessica and I was born and raised in Austin, TX. I graduated with a BA in Theater Arts from the University of Texas at Austin. I have been a babysitter/nanny off and on for the last 13 years. I have looked after newborns and children up to 14 years of age. I truly enjoy spending time with them and being apart of their development journeys. My responsibilities have included picking up/driving children, light child-related household duties, putting down for naps/bedtime (we love a nap routine!), cooking/preparing meals, feeding, helping with homework, reading, going out for walks, and of course general care and playtime! In my off time I have founded a nonprofit called Orísun Collective, and we host creative arts summer camps for kids in Nigeria. I would run the camp as well as teach the acting class. My hope is that all children will have the space and support to be their full selves and reach their full potential. I am a very goal-oriented person, and I know that I am capable of achieving every single thing I put my mind to. I have been hosting an event every 6 months for the last 10 years called Girls With Goals, where I bring a group of women together at my house and we talk about our goals, write them down, and keep each other accountable throughout the year. Everyone always leaves inspired and motivated to conquer their goals!

Jessica was amazing. We hired her multiple times to watch our two kids under 3, and every experience was a great one. She was dependable, kind, patient, and very good with both children. She made us feel at ease. She is caring, capable, and experienced. We were grateful for her help and would gladly hire her again.

I love taking care of children and grew up babysitting my cousins and nieces. I've been a sitter for 4 years and mostly do occasional and part time sitting for various families. I have taught Sunday school to kids aged 3 - 10 for 5 years, for which I'm a mandatory reporter and trained in child CPR. My highest education is a master's degree in film and media production. Please feel free to reach out if you have a job in mind!
