Hi my name is Mariah and I am a dancer/performing artist originally from Philadelphia, PA. I've been teaching dance to children ages 2-18 for about 10 years and was often the go-to family babysitter before moving to LA. I started working through Urban Sitter about 8 years ago as a nanny,babysitter, and tutor and have experience with all ages (infants-teenagers). I absolutely love working with children and am grateful for every opportunity I get to do so. With every job it is always my goal to provide a creative, active, safe and fun environment. I'm a natural performer/entertainer and children are honestly my favorite audience 🤗 ... Aside from dancing I love playing sports, reading, outdoor adventuring and fashion.

Hi! I’m Stephanie, I have a background in education and youth services. I’ve worked with children and teens in a variety of settings, including schools, programs, and homes, and I’ve also taught internationally in France, Spain, Greece, China, and Japan. These experiences have helped me become adaptable, patient, and comfortable working with kids from many backgrounds. I’m organized, nurturing, and communicative, and I’m happy to help with homework, routines, light household tasks, and pets. I always prioritize safety, trust, and positive connections with both kids and families.

Hi! I’m a dependable, nurturing caregiver with years of hands-on experience caring for children, seniors, pets, and helping families at home. I’m currently studying at West Los Angeles College to become a social worker, so caring for others isn’t just something I do — it’s what I’m passionate about. I have experience with infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids. I help with homework, prepare simple meals, create fun activities, and keep routines on track. I’m very patient, attentive, and focused on making kids feel safe, heard, and supported. I also have experience assisting seniors with companionship, light housekeeping, transportation to appointments, and everyday tasks. I’m calm, respectful, and understand how important dignity and kindness are in care. I’m comfortable caring for all types of animals and can help with feeding, walks, playtime, and basic pet care. I’m happy to help with household tasks like cleaning, laundry, dishes, and errands to make your home run more smoothly. I’m not an experienced cook, but I can prepare very basic meals when needed. Families describe me as trustworthy, gentle, and reliable. I treat every home and loved one with the same care and respect I give my own family.

Hi! My name is Selene and I’m a University of Berkeley, California graduate with a B.A. in psychology. I started sitting when I was 13 and supported families in my neighborhood with their kids. In college, I worked for a church’s childcare group (ages 4 months-4 years) and tutored children in Spanish and math. I have loads of experience with school aged children (3-10). My child related job experience includes working in a domestic violence shelter for mothers and children of all different ages. We tutored, mentored, and provided childcare in the shelter using a non violent empowerment model. I also worked with elementary school children and teenagers working as an after school aid at non profit that provides services to children in the mission. I’ve had a few long term tutoring and sitting jobs and am currently looking to support a few families at a need basis! I like to co create activities with the children im caring for that are developmentally appropriate. For example, I love to use textured toys and sensory activities for infants to improve dexterity and color recognition and for children 4-8, I love to play games that help them move and use their imagination. (Dance party anyone?) I would describe my baby sitting style as engaged, imaginative and collaborative.
