Shilpa $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Shilpa, I am 24 and a fine arts student at Otis College of Art and Design. I am hoping to eventually use my degree to work as an art teacher for elementary or middle schoolers! My love of working with children began as baby-sitting jobs throughout my teenage years and only grew once I worked from 2023-the summer of 2025 as an early childhood educator. I am originally from Seattle, and moved down to Los Angeles this year in July. For the past two years (up until my move), I worked as a floating teacher at Epiphany Early Learning Preschool, working with children aged 18 months to 5 years old. Although I loved all the age groups I worked with, I especially loved working with children aged 2-3. I find caring for and helping children grow to be one of the most rewarding experiences, and I am very passionate about building strong relationships with kids as well as their families. I also worked as an art teacher at Epiphany, and I really enjoy coming up with creative activities that are engaging and appropriate for the age of children I am working with! It would be such a privilege to get to know your children as well as your family! I am a serious cat lover as well and would be happy to provide pet care for cats, however I am allergic to dogs. Due to my school schedule I am looking to provide caregiving in the evenings and late afternoons!

Airam $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Airam, and I’m a caring, responsible, and enthusiastic babysitter and nanny with over 5 years of childcare experience. I genuinely love working with children and creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where they can learn, grow, and feel comfortable being themselves. Throughout my experience, I’ve developed a strong understanding of children’s different needs, personalities, and daily routines. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing meals and snacks, organizing creative activities, or keeping little ones entertained, I always strive to make each day enjoyable while maintaining a safe and structured environment. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and naturally creative. I love planning activities that encourage imagination, learning, and play, while also making sure children feel heard, supported, and cared for. I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can fully trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping, meal preparation, and maintaining daily routines to make life a little easier for busy families. My goal is to build genuine, lasting relationships with the families I work with and provide parents with peace of mind knowing their children are in caring and reliable hands. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and see how I can help!

"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)."
