Hello, My name is Olivia and I am currently a student at UCLA studying Environmental Science. I am offering services such as childcare, animal care, and household services. I am a caring and fun babysitter with 5+years of experience caring for children from 5 weeks to 10 years old. I love creating a joyful, safe environment with engaging, crafty activities that support children's development. I look forward to bringing my enthusiasm and dedication to your family! I can provide services such as childcare, pick up and drop off, running errands, doing household cleaning services, light meal prep and caring for any of your precious furry friends. I look forward to watching and aiding your child's development in any way you feel necessary.

Olivia was great with our two elementary schoolers. Kept them engaged with games and helping them prepare their own snacks. We would absolutely love to work with her again!

$20 per hour for 1 child

I have been babysitting since high school and worked as a nanny after graduating, gaining several years of hands-on experience caring for children of different ages. I studied vocal performance at Berklee College of Music before transferring home during the pandemic and completing my degree in Theatre at the University of New Mexico. My background in the arts allows me to bring creativity, patience, and a strong sense of play to childcare. I love engaging kids through imaginative play, storytelling, music, and creative activities. Whether I’m helping with homework, encouraging creativity, or teaching a child a simple song on the piano, I strive to create a supportive and fun environment where children feel confident and cared for. I am conversational in French and currently studying Spanish, and I enjoy incorporating language and music into activities when appropriate. I have a current drivers license.

Qualified teacher with experience in foundation phase. I have worked with young children during my teaching practice and also when I had a tutoring program back home offering help with homework to all age groups in the foundation phase. I have experience with infants, from when I was still home along with when I arrived in the US. I love kids and working with them. I was coaching athletics, tennis, netball and cricket for the past three years, while I was studying. I believe that working with children for me is a calling and not just passion. I love sports and anything to do with fitness, even went to England to represent my country 5 years ago. I would appreciate working with your child and believe that my presence will bring a smile to their young face.

Booked by 1 family in Sherman Oaks, CA

Hi there! My name is Kayley and I recently graduated from San Francisco State University with a Major in Communications and a Minor in Africana Studies. During that time I took some Child Development courses and discovered how much there is to learn from kids. I have experience working with kids at the Boys and Girls Club in San Francisco and also helping out my aunts with all my little cousins. I love to babysit not only because it is empowering, and teaches me to play and be patient, but also because I get to help children, show them safe ways to have fun and express themselves, and ultimately help create a community filled with healthy connections. Something about me is that I love to sing, read, design, dance, and act! I have a passion for film and love to entertain! I am also interested in youth organizing and social justice.

Kayley was a great after school Sitter for our daughter, who was then 5 to 7 years old. We were so fortunate to have her during some of the toughest months in the pandemic very early on. During that time she would come to our house and spend anywhere from 3 to 5 hours with our daughter teaching her her lessons. Kate, Kayley is responsible attentive, and our daughter would have a really great time with her.

My services include childcare, pet care, household services, and running errands. I am very comfortable providing homework help, cooking and baking anything, driving kids to and from school or extracurriculars, and generally supervising activities (i.e. swimming, playing, etc.). I am also experienced in caring for cats and dogs of all breeds and sizes in different settings. I am very comfortable with any activities required (feeding, walking, playing, etc.). I graduated from UCLA with a degree in Cognitive Science & Computing. I am a certified Yoga Instructor who brings empathy and warmth to any environment and loves to get to know people. I am highly organized, adaptable, reliable, am a strong communicator, and am fluent in Spanish. I am looking forward to getting to know you, your kids, your pets, and your household needs!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with our nanny, Sofia, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She is incredibly reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. From day one, she built a strong bond with my son and created a safe, nurturing, and fun environment. She consistently went above and beyond—whether it was helping with routines, engaging in educational activities, or simply bringing a positive and calming presence into our home. Her professionalism and warm personality made a huge difference for our family. Any family would be lucky to have her. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and exceptional nanny! Thanks.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
