Hi, my name is Ashly! I’m 27 years old and a dedicated caregiver with a passion for working with children. I have experience caring for kids of different ages, I understand the importance of providing a nurturing and safe environment for little ones. My goal is to support families by offering reliable and compassionate care. provide childcare services tailored to each child’s needs, including:     •    Infant and toddler care     •    Engaging and age-appropriate activities     •    Meal prep and feeding support     •    Basic housekeeping related to childcare     •    Assistance with bedtime and nap routines I strive to create a warm and structured environment where children feel safe, happy, and engaged! I have hands-on experience caring for infants, especially since I understand their unique needs, such as feeding schedules, sleep routines, and developmental milestones. I’ve also worked with toddlers and older children, engaging them in fun and educational activities that help with social and cognitive development. I love engaging children in age-appropriate activities that encourage learning and creativity. With infants, I enjoy tummy time, sensory play, and music activities to support their development. For toddlers and older kids, I incorporate arts and crafts, storytime, and outdoor play to keep them active and entertained.

Booked by 13 families in Los Angeles, CA

Hello! My name is Janelle and I have been a childcare provider for 6 years now. I've cared for multiple families with kids ages 3 months - 14 years. Jobs included playtime outdoors and indoors, crafts, driving or waking them to and from school, help with homework and online learning, meal prep, morning routines, bedtime routines, light housework, and even pet care. I grew up in a big family taking care of my younger sister and my many cousins. Additionally, I have taught dance, voice, piano, and theatre over the last 10 years, so I've been working with youth for some time in many different contexts. I am currently located in the Mount Washington area of Los Angeles. I'm up to date on all of my vaccines. I am also an actor and musician, so if your child happens to be interested in the arts, this is an especially good fit! Child care is my day job of choice because I genuinely love children. They keep my spirits high and fill me with purpose. Watching them grow, and playing a part in their upbringing has been the greatest, unexpected gift since I started this journey. Thanks for taking the time to read! I look forward to meeting you and your family! :)

“Janelle is wonderful! She was on time, super communicative, and really kind. I receive credits for urban sitter through work, and since I don't have kids was looking for someone to do some housekeeping. She did a great job and we look forward to having her back!”

Booked by 4 families in Los Angeles, CA

My name is Cassandra. I worked at an Elementary school for 3+ years. I have experience taking care of ages newborn-12 for 5+ years. I love helping out with kids. I have a driver's license and my own car. I am free all day Monday-Friday and sometimes on weekends. I am open to occasional babysitting. I am also more than happy to just help clean the house or run your errands for you. I used to have a Siberian Husky so I am used to the shedding and love dogs. I love taking the kid and dogs on walks to the park. I can also help the kids with their homework.

“Cassie was very help with my 11 month daughter. She helped me on short notice and I’m really appreciative of her availability to help us. She’s kind and attentive.”

Booked by 32 families in Los Angeles, CA

Hello! My name is Marandah, and I am a 29 year old woman currently seeking occasional and part time childcare work! In my free time, I absolutely love to cook and bake, spend time outdoors (I run, hike, surf, and swim when I can), play music (singing, guitar, and piano), and write/perform short stories. Childcare has been my first and most long-lasting job-- when I was 12, a family friend would pay me five dollars an hour to walk their infant around the house in a sling until she fell asleep. I have experience with children of all ages, from newborns to teens, and am also experienced working with children and young adults with physical & developmental disabilities. Additionally, I have taught summer camp, theater workshops for children, and given swim lessons. I am a high-energy person who has always found working with kids to be engaging, dynamic, inspiring, and hilarious, and I would love to work with your family!

Booked by 10 families in Los Angeles, CA

Hi my name is Yulissa! I love to be a child caretaker. I’ve raised my siblings since they were little. I worked at an after school program in an elementary school and loved my job very much. I switched my major from nursing to teaching because I found that I love working with kids. I’m understanding and compassionate and very playful. I believe that children should be protected and loved. I want to be another sitter in this world parents can trust and babies can hang out with and feel safe. I truly believe that children should be educated with love, patience, and validation.

“As Yulissa’s previous supervisor for an afterschool program, Yulissa demonstrates exceptional skills in managing and caring for children of various ages. She consistently showed a great deal of patience, creativity and responsibility while ensuring the safety and wellbeing of the children under her care, and she cares tremendously. Her abilities to engage children in educational and fun activities were outstanding as she create an environment where children felt happy, safe, and were eager to learn. Her strong communication skills allowed her to interact effectively with children, parents, and school staff, keeping everyone informed about the day to day wellbeing of the children. I am confident that Yulissa’s experience, dedication and genuine love for children makes her an excellent choice for any childcare position. She would be a valuable asset to any family looking for a reliable and caring 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."

"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)."
