Daniel $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi y'all! My name is Daniel, and I am a 23-year-old recent graduate. I graduated in December 2024 from the University of Northern Colorado with a B.S. in Mathematics, with an emphasis in Middle School Education. A native Coloradan, I relocated to Los Angeles in January of this year and moved in with my long-term girlfriend, who was attending SCA at USC (she graduated this spring semester, yay!). My life and professional experiences have given me the tools and knowledge necessary to provide childcare and household services. I am also open to providing other services. I own (2022 Corolla) and am able to operate a car. I am also great with technology, speak fluent Spanish, and am even willing to offer math tutoring. More info about me below :) As I mentioned earlier, my degree is in middle school math education. Throughout my university program, I completed clinical practices within middle school classrooms and one high school classroom. In the fall semester of 2024, I completed my student-teaching practice, which I credit as my most impactful learning experience in terms of classroom management, pedagogy, and generally aiding kids. I received my initial teaching licensure from the state of Colorado. In Los Angeles, I have done limited substitute work after a lengthy process to transfer my credentials. Although limited in work, I have had the opportunity to work with younger students as I have substituted for first-grade classes and an after-school program that served first- and second-graders. Aside from my teaching experience, I am also a HUGE 'girl-uncle'. I have four nieces and 2 nephews in total, but the youngest are my three nieces. The 11 y/o I babysat weekly during summers in middle and high school when she was a toddler and kid. During the school year, I would watch her after school for a couple of hours before my brother could pick her up after work. The next youngest girls, 4 y/o and 1.5 y/o, I have also babysat in some capacity, but less as I was in college and I have since moved out of state.

Diana $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Diana and I am a 20 year old college student. I have several years of experience babysitting. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14 years old and have worked with different families with children ranging from 1-12. I loved building strong, trusting relationships with both parents and children. I genuinely enjoy creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for kids — especially through board games, arts and crafts, and creative activities. I am great at cooking and household chores. I’d be more than willing to give a helping hand around your home! I also have experience with pet care and have a dog of my own who has taught me great patience!

Marigo $22 per hour for 1 child

I’m a dependable, nurturing mom of two (an 18-year-old daughter and a 14-year-old son) with years of hands-on experience caring for children at different stages. I currently work full time, in Gardena, CA, but I’m excited to offer afternoon and evening care during the week after 2:30 PM. I also have a 5-year-old Malshi that I absolutely love and adore, so I’m very comfortable around pets and happy in homes with animals. I’ve volunteered for over 11 years with both the Ronald McDonald House and monthly outreach in Skid Row, which has shaped my patience, compassion, and ability to connect with people from all walks of life. I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every child with the same care and respect I give my own. CPR/FIRST AID/AED Instructor • Certified in Infant & Adult CPR • First Aid Certified •

Nikkita $22 per hour for 1 child

I’m the oldest of six girls, so I’ve been a natural caregiver my whole life. That role really shaped who I am—responsible, patient, and always ready to help. I’ve worked as a caregiver for 11 years, and in 2020 I decided to take that same dedication into my own business by starting a cleaning company. Outside of work, I’m passionate about sports and love getting creative with arts and crafts. Whether I’m helping people, building something from scratch, or staying active, I put my heart into everything I do.”

"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."

"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)."
