Booked by 3 families in La Crescenta, CA

Hello! My name is Catherine (or Cat). I've babysat kids from 15 months to 12 years old. I genuinely enjoy being a positive impact in a child's life, helping them learn & grow, and providing a nurturing & safe environment for them. I'm very patient, playful, and promise to always give my full attention when looking after your little ones. On my background: I'm born & raised LA, grew up in the SF Valley. I've obtained a B.S. from Berkeley and studied/lived abroad in Paris (am French speaking). I'm a young professional passionate about the arts, sustainability, and Mother Nature. In my free time, I like to hike, write, picnic, and cook!

Catherine did an amazing job! She was caring, reliable, attentive, and went above and beyond in every aspect. We truly appreciate her professionalism and dedication. Highly recommended!

Riza $23 per hour for 1 child

Hello everyone! My name is Riza. I’m 24 years old. I’m the oldest daughter and child in my family. I’m a student from Kazakhstan, which is the 9th largest country in the world. Growing up, I always helped take care of my younger sister and brother. I also looked after my nieces and nephews when I was 16–18 years old. I have 3 years of bachelor’s studies in Education/Pedagogy. During my university years in Kazakhstan, I completed a teaching internship/practicum. I taught middle school students (6th–9th grade) for two years in a row, for about 2 months each year. I’m a creative person and I love photography and traveling. I’ve traveled a lot around the USA, and I recently moved to Los Angeles. I don’t smoke or drink, and I’ve never had any bad habits. I’ll be happy to get to know everyone!

Hayley $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm a screenwriter based in Eagle Rock. I graduated from Yale with a B.A. in English and a concentration in creative writing in 2016. I've lived in Los Angeles in the ten years since. I've worked as a babysitter since I was fourteen and have worked with children ages six months to fourteen years old. I've also tutored students in literature, creative writing and college essay writing for many years. My role as a filmmaker and writer is inextricable from my approach as a caregiver: to lead with a generosity and collaboration, with the patience and curiosity to help kids become the best version of themselves. My schedule is flexible, but I'm especially available afternoon/evenings.

Emily $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a recent graduate from UCLA with a Bachelor’s degree in English and Professional Writing with years of experience in childcare, tutoring, and family support. As the eldest sibling in a large family, I played a huge role in helping raise my four younger brothers (ages 5–16), supporting them with schoolwork, routines, and daily care — so working with kids truly feels second nature to me. I’ve also worked professionally as a nanny, babysitter, and tutor for children from 6 months to 9 years old, and currently tutor students from elementary through college level. I’m patient, dependable, and great at building positive, encouraging relationships with kids of all ages. Childcare: I’m comfortable caring for infants, toddlers, school-age kids, and teens. I love doing creative activities like reading, arts and crafts, and helping with homework, as well as keeping kids engaged through play and structured routines. I offer tutoring support, homework help, and light meal prep. Pet Care: I’m comfortable around pets and happy to help with feeding, walking, playtime, and general care. I’m responsible and attentive, and as a pet owner myself I understand how important it is that pets feel safe and cared for when their owners are away. Household Services: I have experience with light housekeeping, organizing, errands, and helping families keep things running smoothly. I’m happy to assist with laundry, tidying, dishes, and basic meal prep. I’m certified in food handling, and I bring a calm, organized, and caring presence to every home I work in. I’d love to support your family however I can!

"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)."
