Maddie $25 per hour for 1 child

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 :)

My name is Olga, I’m originally from Ukraine and now live in Glendale, Los Angeles. I speak Russian and am currently learning English. I have a warm, nurturing personality with a genuine love for children. I have experience working with kids ages 2 to 8, including part-time care for a 5-year-old girl now and caring for an 8-year-old girl last year. In Kyiv, I also worked in a children’s playroom with kids ages 2–6. I create a calm, safe, and joyful environment where children feel seen, heard, and loved.

Annazette $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a fun, responsible mom who truly understands how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your family. I love creating a positive environment where kids feel safe, happy, and entertained. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, doing crafts, reading, or planning fun Disney-style days full of imagination and laughter, I enjoy keeping kids engaged while also helping maintain their routines. I’m patient, dependable, and naturally nurturing. As a mom myself, I understand how much trust parents place in someone caring for their children. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks like tidying up, organizing, meal prep, or running small errands to make busy family days a little easier. I also enjoy spending time with seniors and providing companionship, helping with everyday tasks like cooking, light cleaning, organizing, or simply being there for conversation and support. I truly enjoy helping families feel supported and at ease knowing their loved ones are in good hands. If you’re looking for someone caring, reliable, and fun who treats your family with kindness and respect, I would love to get to know you and your family. Also I have a 6 year old daughter who loves to meet new friends so if it’s an option to bring her along then that would be amazing !!

Renetta $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I'm Renetta. I'm an Angeleno by way of Texas who'd love to connect with some families in my area to lend a helping hand. I've spent many years in the film industry, and spent the first part of my life and career in social work, at youth centers, and helping out folks with their kiddos. The privilege of being a part of how children grow and thrive is one of my personal "why's", and the opportunity to do so is truly an honor. My schedule is flexible, and I'm open to and believe in being inclusive of all family structures and types. My approach is inclusive of all identities and needs. If this sounds like we'd be a fit, please don't hesitate to reach out!

Breana $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Altadena, CA

Hi! I’m a 22-year-old college student at San José State University majoring in Social Work with a minor in Child & Adolescent Development. I’m CPR certified, have a valid driver’s license, and have my own reliable car. I have several years of experience working with children. I recently completed a school district internship where I worked one-on-one with children ages 4–12 in a middle school wellness center, and I currently work at an after-school care program Monday–Friday from 3–5 PM. My schedule may occasionally include minimum days, so my availability can vary. I’ve also worked at summer camps for the past 4 summers, working with children from kindergarten through 4th grade. As a camp counselor, I was responsible for a group of 8 children during activities, pool time, and field trips. I’ve also worked as a teacher’s assistant with 1st–4th graders, helping in the classroom, supervising recess, and accompanying students on field trips. Outside of work, I have experience caring for my 8-year-old niece and 4-year-old nephew. I’m very active and love keeping kids entertained! I’ve been dancing for 17 years and would be happy to teach dance, and I also played basketball for 4 years and enjoy playing other sports and outdoor activities. I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy working with kids. I’m also comfortable helping with light household tasks when needed. References are available upon request!

"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

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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)."
