$22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Los Angeles, CA

Hello I’m Penelope and am looking to babysit part-time/occasionally! I am a recent college graduate from Boston University, where I majored in Psychology, and hope to work as a children’s therapist in the future. I have worked with kids 3-11 years old at a summer camp from 2[removed]. Last summer, I worked in a research lab at BU studying child and caregiver bond and empathy levels over time. Needless to say, I love children and would be thrilled to help out however your family may need! (I also love cleaning and organization, so would be happy to help in any way I can!)

Very kind, my little one was getting to know her, warming up , but no way to get a response to dates needed . Communication is not the greatest.

Haley $30 per hour for 1 child

I am a compassionate young woman with over 10 years of diverse experience in childcare. As a teenager, I was the nanny to 3 neighboring families for 5 years. I grew very close with all of the kids and still keep in touch with them today. I view children as complex emotional beings and take the encouragement of their confidence and belief in themselves very seriously. I feel a natural ability to remain attuned to their needs, moods, and strengths and enjoying bringing creativity and joy into their lives through caregiving. Beyond traditional nanny experience, I have extensive experience teaching creative movement and dance techniques to children. I am also interested in assisting children in their educational development through homework help or in-home education, particularly in the humanities. I am tidy, organized, a good cook, and a punctual employee. I would love to meet you & provide references if you feel I would be a good fit for your family. Thank you!

Janiece 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Los Angeles, CA

Hi! My name is Janiece, and I would love to help take care of your little ones. I have a genuine passion for working with kids and creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment. With experience in teaching and a bilingual background in Spanish, I enjoy helping children learn and grow through play and engaging activities. I also love to sing, dance, and play dress-up—your kids and I are bound to have a blast unleashing our creativity! Whether we’re baking cookies, cooking up fun meals, or diving into a world of imagination, I’m all about making sure every moment is enjoyable and memorable. I used to work at the YMCA daycare and summer camp for three years. Going on explorations to the park, swimming classes, and other outdoor outings like movie theatre, and shopping runs. We would also have creative freedom time such as coloring, building, and science experiments. But would also stay in the facility working with newborns and toddlers. I then transitioned to helping high school students, helping with homework, and class work. I currently am an assistant art teacher. Helping with 3d art and sculpture. As well as creating schematics in architectural design. In some cases I also sit one on one helping students with presentations, papers, attire, and verbal communication. I’d be honored to support your family by bringing positivity, patience, and a touch of fun to your home.

Janiece did great with our toddler and did a ton of activities while we needed care. She was reliable, kind, and flexible when we were running behind and needed to add more time. I would rebook 100%.

Marlen 1 review
$27 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Los Angeles, CA

Hi families! My name is Marlen Gonzalez, and I’m a 21 year old senior at the University of Southern California (USC), double majoring in Legal Studies and Spanish. I enjoy cooking, baking, painting, hiking and learning new things! I’ve been caring for kids of all ages—from newborns to pre-teens—for 7+ years, and I truly love working with children. I’m looking to help part-time or one-time depending on your needs and I’m flexible. Beyond babysitting, I have experience tutoring and mentoring elementary and middle school students in South LA through USC programs. I’ve also had experience as a summer camp counselor for 3rd-5th graders. I enjoy spending time with children and engaging them with crafts, reading, and outdoor play. I’ve taken early childhood development courses and understand the patience, safety, and trust required in childcare. Parents can count on me to be reliable, caring, and attentive. I’m also happy to help with cleaning around the house and homework if needed. I would not be able to drive children anywhere however I am happy to watch over them either at your home or my own home. Lastly, I am bilingual and fully fluent in English and Spanish. I’d love to connect and see if I’m a good fit for your family! Thank you!

Marlen has been such a tremendous help. She is timely and responsible. We have excellent communication throughout the day and she updates me when necessary, which I really appreciate. Her creativity shines, and our kids absolutely adore her for that! My husband's schedule is hectic, and she always does her best to accommodate us. She has been the biggest blessing to our family this year. I highly recommend her for your babysitting needs!

"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)."
