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.

Booked by 6 families in Pasadena, CA

Hello! My name is Meg, I live in Silverlake and am a dedicated caregiver and creative! I have 10+ years of babysitting experience. I have worked for babysitting services in the past like SitterCity and Weesit and had an incredibly positive experience - even being billed as 'the baby whisperer,' to parents. I am very focused of safety but love to have fun. I use my skills as a performer to play, entertain and bring out an imaginative spirit. I am enthusiastic but calm and incredibly reliable. I am one of five siblings and over 35 cousins - I have been a camp counselor, teacher of drama, music and improv and have directed children in plays. I'm not the kind of babysitter that just puts on a movie - I'm completely engaged.

Meghan did a great job! On time and the kids loved her. Hope to hire her again soon!

Hands-on experience caring for children, as a dedicated parent, which gives me deep empathy, patience, and understanding of children’s needs and routines. Patient and nurturing: I know how to meet people where they are—especially helpful for seniors or children who need extra time or support. Reliable and responsible: I show up consistently and take pride in doing work right. Service-minded and communicative: I genuinely care about others and know how to connect with them, whether it's a child needing reassurance or a senior needing companionship. Detail-oriented: I keep track of routines, medications, schedules, or special instructions without missing a beat.

Reliable, safe choice for help :)

Janiece 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Pasadena, 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%.

Naz 2 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child

I have extensive experience caring for children from infancy through 10+ years old, as well as experience working with children in a school environment. My background as a harpist and artist allows me to engage creatively with kids through music, imaginative play, and hands-on activities. I love teaching, spending time outdoors, making snacks, helping with household chores, and being playful and silly with the children I care for. I’m warm, attentive, reliable, and genuinely enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for families.

Naz helped care for my daughter Rumi from the time she was 1 year old until 3.5 years old on an as-needed basis, and she was truly wonderful with her. She is incredibly gentle, patient, reliable, and responsive, and always created a calm, nurturing environment around Rumi. What stood out most to me was how naturally caring and attentive she is with children. Rumi absolutely adored spending time with her. Naz brought so much creativity and warmth into their time together through music, play, art, and outdoor activities. She also has a very grounded and calming presence, which made me feel completely comfortable leaving Rumi in her care. I would wholeheartedly recommend Naz to any family looking for someone trustworthy, kind, engaging, and genuinely excellent with children.

"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)."
