Alex Los Angeles
$25 per hour for 1 child

Dear Parents, my name is Alex and I am a caring, energetic, and reliable caregiver who is an LA native. I attended Harvard-Westlake high school and NYU. I did a lot of babysitting in college when I was in NYC and I am looking to get back into it as I try to support my career as a screenwriter in Hollywood. When I was twenty my dad had two daughters with his new wife so I have spent the last ten years watching my two beautiful half sisters grow up. I lived at the house with them from basically the time they were born until they were seven and five. I cared for them as babies and was constantly playing with them as we were all stuck in quarantine together during COVID. I did everything with them from constant games, to dress up, to even teaching them how to swim in our pool. When we weren't playing I helped prepare them meals, bathed them after dinner, and read books / sang songs to them to put them to bed. I currently live in an apartment in Brentwood with my girlfriend and have flexible hours to be a caregiver as I work around my writing schedule. I am comfortable with kids of all ages, from babies to teenagers and I also love animals. I am 31 years old and a few of my friends have started having kids and I am always the first one they call when they need a sitter. I am confident that with all my experience with kids and a fun loving personality I can be a perfect fit for your family. I look forward to working with you and caring fro your child.

Hello, my name is Kimberly. I recently graduated from CSUN with a BA in art. The services that I offer are dog walking, dog sitting, and child care.

I like playing Fortnite and roblox with my brother. I like taking care of dogs and kids. I am comfortable with dogs all sizes. I have a medium-large dog, a Belgian Malinois, that I love so much.

Jennifer West Hollywood
$27 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Jennifer, a reliable and enthusiastic caregiver with 4 years of hands-on experience supporting families through childcare, pet care, and household services. After my journey in the U.S. Navy I began my journey as a assistant teacher and quickly expanded into full-family support roles, working with families who needed help with everything from daily childcare to keeping the home running smoothly and caring for their beloved pets. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of caring for children from infants through elementary school age, as well as dogs, cats, and the occasional small animal. I genuinely love what I do — creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for kids while giving parents peace of mind. In addition to childcare and pet care, I’m experienced with a wide range of household tasks including thorough cleaning, meal preparation, laundry, running errands, and light organization. I’m comfortable bringing my own supplies when requested and always take pride in leaving spaces fresh and tidy. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and am known for being punctual, proactive, and genuinely caring. My goal is always to become a trusted extension of the family I work with. I’d love the opportunity to learn more about your family’s needs and 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."

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)."

Eric D., dad of two
