Booked by 2 families in La Crescenta, CA

Hi!! My name is Silvia and I’m a bilingual (English & Spanish) artist and musician with a background in education and child development. I'm offering child care, senior care and household services. I truly enjoy caring for children and have experience with babies, toddlers, and older kids. I’ve worked as a music teacher and songwriting coach for kids and I love bringing creativity and play into my time with them whether it’s singing songs, doing crafts or helping with homework. I'm good at cooking and I also have great skills at driving. I’m responsible, caring and energetic, and I’m happy to help with school pick-ups, meal prep, light cleaning or bedtime routines. I'm pretty sure we will have fun together! I’ve also cared for my own grandparents and I'm comfortable supporting seniors with daily tasks, companionship or errands. I’m very patient and respectful and love listening to their stories. I’m pet-friendly and have experience taking care of dogs and cats. I'll be happy to adapt to your family’s unique needs.

Silvia was early and made us feel so comfortable. She didn’t have too much to do with the baby asleep, but I’m sure she’d be great if he needed her!

Hello, my name is Marleen. Although I’m only 19 years old I am very experienced with taking care of children with care and lots of patience. I just got on this app which is why I have few reviews but I’ve been babysitting for about two years now. I am an older sister of three siblings 14, 12, and 9 years old. I have been surrounded with kids/ babies my whole life. At just the age of nine I was in charge of taking care of my siblings. I would and still take care of them on a daily basis. I know that at times things could get chaotic but I am the best fit for that task. I have also babysit for my fellow friends and family members. I could also pet sit if that’s needed. If you need help with chores around the house I’m willing to help too but with a raise. If there is any specific things needed to do I will be gladly to do them. I am very familiar with soccer, track, xc, and basketball as I played all these sports in high school. I love to stay active!

Jannet 3 reviews
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m a reliable and nurturing caregiver with over 10 years of experience caring for children, seniors, and pets. I’m patient, organized, and truly enjoy helping others feel comfortable and cared for. Families describe me as dependable, warm, and detail-oriented—I always go above and beyond to make sure everyone’s needs are met. Whether it’s keeping your pets happy, supporting an active household, or assisting an elderly loved one, I treat every client like family.

Jannet has been absolutely wonderful with our family. She is dependable, caring, and truly attentive to my child’s needs. From the first time she babysat for us, she made everything feel effortless—she communicated clearly, arrived on time, and immediately built a great connection with my child. She follows instructions perfectly, keeps the home organized, and always checks in with updates so we feel at ease while we’re away. Jannet is calm, patient, and incredibly responsible. I trust her completely, and I’m grateful to have found someone so reliable. I highly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy and professional sitter.

"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)."
