JayDa $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m JayDa! I’m a 20-year-old nursing student working toward my goal of becoming a nurse. I have caregiving experience with individuals of all ages, from infants (1 year old) to seniors (65+), and I’m comfortable providing care for those with medical and physical disabilities. Babysitting and caregiving allow me to do what I truly love. By creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment while supporting growth, comfort, and independence. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive, with a strong passion for helping others. I also have self-defense training, which adds an extra layer of awareness and preparedness to ensure safety in any environment. In addition to childcare, I have housekeeping experience, including light cleaning, organization, laundry, and maintaining a clean and safe home. I’m a responsible driver with over 3 years of driving experience and can assist with transportation, errands, and school or activity drop-offs as needed. I’m great with animals of all kinds and have experience with pet care and walking. Families can feel confident knowing their children, loved ones, home, and pets are in capable, caring, and safety-conscious hands. Certifications: Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), Basic Life Support (BLS), Teacher’s Assistant.

Hayley $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm a screenwriter based in Eagle Rock. I graduated from Yale with a B.A. in English and a concentration in creative writing in 2016. I've lived in Los Angeles in the ten years since. I've worked as a babysitter since I was fourteen and have worked with children ages six months to fourteen years old. I've also tutored students in literature, creative writing and college essay writing for many years. My role as a filmmaker and writer is inextricable from my approach as a caregiver: to lead with a generosity and collaboration, with the patience and curiosity to help kids become the best version of themselves. My schedule is flexible, but I'm especially available afternoon/evenings.

"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)."
