Rayven 2 reviews
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Rayven. I’m looking for a way to earn extra income to help my mom with the bills. I’m a very responsible and respectful hard worker. I have 2 years of babysitting experience. My brother has 3 kids so I’ve learned a lot and would love to learn more from other families. I enjoy working with children and love playing games, doing arts and crafts, and keeping kids engaged in fun and safe activities. I’m also reliable with house sitting and pet care. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats, so l’m very comfortable feeding, walking, and playing with both. I can help with any house chores like cleaning and meal preparation/cooking.

“Rayven is amazing! I hired her for a dog sitting job and she took great care of them. She’s very attentive and will go above and beyond. My dogs and I hope to see her again soon!”

Hi! My name is Alexia but I go by Mars! I am 24 years old, and I am an actress and musician. I have been babysitting & nannying children since I was 12, and grew up in a big family so I’ve always been around kids. I have worked with children from newborns to 15 year olds. I have worked with a few great families long term in the past couple of years most recently a job that ended in july, and can provide recent references upon request :) I love taking care of children and am a very creative person so I love doing activities such as drawing, painting, cooking, reading, helping with homework etc. Making sure that they are safe and happy is my top priority. I am fully vaccinated and can provide proof. I am also willing to help with housework and cleaning if necessary. I have a reliable means of transportation as well so if they need rides, I am happy to do so. I am a very responsible and patient person and your child will always be my first priority no matter what. I am available to interview and get to know your family whenever just let me know, I look forward to meeting you and hopefully helping your family out! :)

“Mars cared for my 1-year old son for 5 days a week summer 2023 while I worked remotely. She was always on time and communicated clearly throughout the day. Mars is great at following a lunch/nap/snack schedule — so important for children at this age (and mine in particular, really thrives on a schedule). Mars is cautious, caring, and kind. I felt like she always put my child’s interests first. ”

Booked by 2 families in Acton, CA

Hi, I'm Maddie! I recently graduated Magna Cum Laude in aerospace engineering, and I have a strong background in tutoring, mentoring, and supporting kids and teens. My academic experience has taught me to be organized, responsible, and calm under pressure. I’ve been caring for children most of my life. As the oldest sibling with a younger brother, I grew up helping with homework, meals, rides, and daily routines. I also have several younger cousins I’ve cared for since they were infants, so I’m comfortable with bottle‑warming, diaper changes, nap routines, and keeping little ones engaged and happy. As a teenager, I worked at a summer camp where I led cooking and baking activities, arts and crafts, swimming, and group games. Those experiences taught me how to create fun, safe environments and connect with kids of all personalities. I’m warm, patient, and very reliable, and I bring a steady, positive presence to any home. I love helping kids feel confident, whether through creative activities, homework support, or simply being someone they feel comfortable around. I’m also happy to help with pets and household tasks to make things easier for busy families. I speak French as well, so I’m glad to incorporate language exposure or help with French homework if that’s something your family would enjoy. Families describe me as kind, trustworthy, and easy to work with. I’m excited to support families in a way that makes their days smoother and helps kids thrive :)

Laura marcela 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Laura, and I am originally from Colombia. Children bring so much joy, peace, and happiness into my life. I consider myself a very positive, energetic, happy, responsible, and caring person. I take pride in strong communication skills, a positive outlook, and creating meaningful connections with the families I work with. I have over 15 years of experience caring for children, and child safety is always my top priority. I strive to provide a warm, fun, and nurturing environment in every babysitting or caregiving assignment. My goal is for parents to feel completely at ease and confident knowing their children are in competent, loving, and reliable hands. In addition to working with children, I also have experience caring for seniors. I volunteered at a senior home, where I spent time assisting seniors and supporting caregivers with daily tasks. I also provided professional, compassionate care for an elderly woman with dementia, working closely with her family and ensuring she was treated with dignity, patience, and respect. This experience was incredibly meaningful to me and strengthened my caregiving skills across all ages. Academically, I have completed my Associate’s degree in Social & Behavioral Science and Health Science at Irvine Valley College. I am CPR certified, completed a Holistic Newborn Care Specialist workshop, and hold a Certified Nursing Assistant diploma from Colombia. I am currently attending Cal State LA, majoring in Public Health. I am also happy to assist with household needs such as running errands, helping with school homework, organizing daily routines, and driving children to and from activities. I have a California driver’s license with a clean driving record, and I am very comfortable driving children safely. I would love the opportunity to meet with you to see if I would be a great addition to your family. . Thank you so much for your time and consideration—I look forward to hearing from you.

“Laura Salazar has been amazing with my two youngest children. She is incredibly kind, patient, and attentive, and my kids felt comfortable with her right away. As a parent, it gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I truly felt I could trust her completely around my children, which is everything when it comes to childcare. I highly recommend Laura to any family looking for someone reliable, caring, and trustworthy.”

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
