Bennett $25 per hour for 1 child

I'm a married, 35 year-old journalist in a transition phase. Previously, I worked for 10 years as a lifeguard and swim instructor, so I have plenty of experience working with children (infants up to young teens). I'm mild-mannered, calm and patient. I have a sweet little dog named Jacuzzi and we often dog-sit for others, so I'm very comfortable around dogs and all kinds of pets. I'm also a bit of a clean freak and organizer, so I don't mind doing stuff around the house or in the yard, etc.

Chase 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name’s Chase, I’m 23 (turning 24 this spring :)) and recently moved to Los Angeles from New York City. I work remotely in PR and Marketing while also pursuing my music career, and I’m looking for part time babysitting work with reliable families. I’ve babysat for kids of all ages, from toddlers to preteens, and helped with school pick ups, drop offs, and after school routines back home in New York. I love working with children and I’m known for being super organized and a bit of a neat freak. I’m happy to help with meal prep, light cleaning, and keeping kids entertained whether that’s dancing, singing, sports or even homework! I’m new to UrbanSitter but not new to childcare, and I’d love to connect with great families here in LA.

“Chase is a very trustworthy person! I felt more than comfortable having her manage my household. She is kind and comes to work with a very positive attitude! She is fabulous with children and able to be very flexible which is great.”

"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)."
