Booked by 75 families in Pacific Palisades, CA

Hello, I'm a college graduate from UCLA with a degree in marine biology. I am now completely abandoning that and pursuing a career in television production, as many in Los Angeles do. I went to high school at Notre Dame Academy all girls catholic school in West LA. I have been watching children for over 12 years and before that took care of my younger sister. I am CPR certified, love playing games, singing, and would be honored to sit for you. Thank you in advance! I take venmo, and my rates go up for travel over 10 miles, depending on the length of the commute, and for holidays. My cancellation policy is within 24 hours, after that inquiring a 50% fee of the original time requested.

Molly was great! She accepted my last minute booking and was patient and kind with my cranky toddler.

Hi, I’m Jenna! I graduated from UC Berkeley with a BA in Fine Art. I currently work as a freelance video editor and teach private and group art classes with my twin sister. We offer art lessons for children ages 20 months and up, and can always combine babysitting with a fun, creative art activity as well. Feel free to reach out if you're interested or would like more information! 🎨 👩‍🎨 ig:creativespace.santamonica I have over 15 years experience working with toddlers and kids of all ages, and can provide references if needed. I look forward to hearing from you!

Jenna has been sitting for my two boys (now 4 and 6) for years, and she is just incredible! She is very sweet, understanding, energetic, professional and responsible (and punctual), and brings a joyful, positive attitude to each visit. She has watched the boys during the day and in the evening, taken them on park/playground outings, and picked them up from school. Her attention is always 100% on the kids, and she is very creative about making each visit fun with board games and arts projects (she's an amazing artist!). My boys look forward to her coming and always have a wonderful time. From meals, to bedtime, to boo-boos, she has it covered and is always available for status updates. She is also very flexible and is very accommodating when our schedule or plans change. We recommend her very highly and would be happy to answer any questions or share more about our experiences!

Booked by 2 families in Pacific Palisades, CA

I’m 20 years old. Currently majoring in Human Development and Early Childhood Education at UC Davis. I’ve had experience babysitting children under 10 and babies! I’ve had pets my whole life, I love animals! Chores were a priority in my house, so I can clean if need be. I have done bedtime routine and have cooked dinner for the kids I watch.

Vanessa is a great babysitter: punctual, responsive, and very attentive to my 4-year-old daughter.

"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)."
