Tiffany 1 review
$27 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Tiffany, I’m currently a college student studying Health Science. I offer babysitting, nannying and pet care services. I’ve been working with children for over 11 years, including experience as a daycare assistant and babysitting kids of all ages(Newborns - Teenagers). I truly love creating a safe, nurturing, warm, and fun environment where kids can learn, grow, and just be themselves. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I also have experience caring for children with special needs, including autism, aspergers and ADHD. I’m patient, adaptable, and always try to meet each child’s individual needs. I speak Korean fluently and have some knowledge of Spanish and Japanese, which helps me connect with a variety of families. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, creative activities like crocheting and pottery, and music (I play bass guitar!). I love incorporating crafts, outdoor time, and fun learning activities into my childcare style. I’m happy to help with things like playtime, schedule building, homework, light housekeeping/meal prep, and keeping routines on track. If you have pets I also don't mind pets of any species and size. I became a caregiver because I genuinely enjoy supporting children’s development and being a positive, reliable presence in their lives. Being told "You're the BEST babysitter/nanny ever" brings me so much joy, so I strive to achieve that with every family. I look foward to hearing from you and your family!

“Tiffany has been caring for my daughter since she was born. As a premature baby, she required extra attention, and Tiffany was incredibly attentive and quick to learn all of Kaylee's unique needs. Over the years, she's continued to support her growth and development. Kaylee is now 12, and Tiffany has been a consistent, trusted presence in her life.”

Danielle 2 reviews
$22 per hour for 1 child

I am a credentialed teacher with several years of teaching experience, and I valued raising my son without daycare so much that I stayed home to be with him. My son has ADHD, and I helped him to get through all of his schooling. Now he is a PhD student in Medical Research! I enjoy working with children of all ages, and I take pride in caring for others in a respectful, meaningful way. I am creative and fun as well, and I feel comfortable communicating with families to make sure that everything goes well.

“I have known Danielle for more than ten years. During that time, we both served as committee members for our local Scout Troop. I observed how she interacted with the Scouts and I admired her calm demeanor. Danielle always shows patience and care when working with children. I appreciate that she is always willing to lend a helping hand. She continues to volunteer her time and share her talents with various organizations in our community.”

Hailey 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Hailey!! I have previously worked at preschools and daycares where i’ve had the experience of teaching and setting routines for children. I’ve had experince with newborns as well as ages 3-5. For the newborns we had set routine for their naps, feeding, and a little play time of course! As for the ages of 3-5, We reviewed basic math, science, English, and music skills through games, songs, reading, art projects and workbook practice. I helped with changing diapers, potty training, nap time, and feeding. Worked with children ages 6-12 in an afterschool program, ensuring their safety as they got on and off the bus, helping with homework and providing general supervision.

“Hailey is the best! I’ve known her for many years, and she is truly a blessing to this world. She radiates sunshine and positivity and I’ve seen how that impacts her work with children and animals. She is always trying to come from a place of understanding in order to meet a child or an animal’s needs. She always gives her very best, so you will never need to worry about your little bean while you’re away!”

Gulnara 5 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Maya! I’m a caring, dependable, and experienced caregiver with nearly a decade of experience working with children, seniors, and families. I also have experience with pet care, house sitting, and running errands. I recently relocated from Chicago to Los Angeles to be closer to my only daughter and am excited to begin this new chapter. I’m originally from the Republic of Georgia and also speak fluent Russian. I have a BA in Economics and Finance, but caring for people has always been something that feels especially meaningful to me. There is nothing more rewarding than knowing I’ve made someone’s day a little easier—and caring for children is particularly joyful for me. As a mother myself, I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable and confident with the person caring for your little ones. Trust, safety, patience, and reliability are things I take very seriously. Over the years, my responsibilities have included school and activity transportation, helping with daily routines, preparing meals, light housekeeping, and running errands. I’m happy to help with the little things that keep a household running smoothly. I genuinely enjoy cooking, keeping things tidy, and being someone a family can depend on. I have no allergies and am comfortable with pets. I would love the opportunity to become a trusted and reliable part of your family’s support system. ❤️

“Gulnara has been my daughter’s full time nanny for the past 10 months, she started when my daughter was 2 mo. I’m very happy with our choice. Gulnara (aka Maya) is very attentive to my daughter, she provides great care. She also speaks different languages which is a big advantage when you have a child. My daughter adores Gulnara. I would highly recommend her.”

"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)."
