Samantha $30 per hour for 1 child

My name is Samantha and I'm currently offering child and pet care services! I have been babysitting/nannying for family, friends, and professionally on and off since I was a teenager. I have cared for children of all ages, newborn-14 years old. I am an extremely responsible and diligent individual who always puts the health and safety of the children first. But I'm also a fun, smart, and lively person who will make sure your kids are engaged and always enjoying themselves. I hope to enrich their lives in a positive way, be a good example to them, teach them and give them new experiences (i.e. taking them to do fun activities), and overall just make sure that they are comfortable and happy in the absence of their parents. I can also help with homework, household chores, laundry, cooking, errands, drops offs/pick-ups, after school activities, etc. I have a safe and reliable car, clean driving record, and am CPR/First Aid Certified. I also have extensive experience with dogs and cats and have grown up with pets my entire life. I can walk, feed, play, and spend time with your pets as needed. I am comfortable with all breeds and sizes (assuming that their temperament is good).

Chase 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name’s Chase, I’m 23 (turning 24 this spring :)) and recently moved to Los Angeles from New York City. I work remotely in PR and Marketing while also pursuing my music career, and I’m looking for part time babysitting work with reliable families. I’ve babysat for kids of all ages, from toddlers to preteens, and helped with school pick ups, drop offs, and after school routines back home in New York. I love working with children and I’m known for being super organized and a bit of a neat freak. I’m happy to help with meal prep, light cleaning, and keeping kids entertained whether that’s dancing, singing, sports or even homework! I’m new to UrbanSitter but not new to childcare, and I’d love to connect with great families here in LA.

Chase is a very trustworthy person! I felt more than comfortable having her manage my household. She is kind and comes to work with a very positive attitude! She is fabulous with children and able to be very flexible which is great.

Booked by 1 family in Sherman Oaks, CA

I am new to the app. I wanted to let you know that I am a caring, patient, and responsible caregiver with hands-on experience raising and caring for children from 0 months. I have experience and understanding of feeding, diaper changes, sleep schedules, soothing techniques, developmental milestones, and infant safety. I truly love children and enjoy creating a nurturing, loving, and engaging environment where they feel safe, happy, and cared for. When your child is in my care, I will treat them with the same attention, patience, and affection that I would give my own family. I understand how hard is it to trust someone with the most important person in your life and my goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and supportive environment where children can learn, play, and thrive. I also have the support of my mother, who has many years of experience raising three children, she is a retired middle school teacher, my brothers are both engineers and one got his PDH she is available to help when needed. Together, we provide a warm, family-oriented atmosphere focused on your child's well-being. My home is also prepared for childcare, with toys and age-appropriate activities, as well as clean and safe spaces for children to play, rest, sleep, and be cared for comfortably. I am happy to take care of your child. Families can feel confident knowing that their child will be cared for in a safe, loving, and dependable environment.

Exceptional last-minute care! Highly recommend Aria! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Aria was an absolute blessing for our family. She accepted a very last-minute request to watch my 1-year-old daughter at her home from the afternoon until 10 PM. She took amazing care of my baby girl, treating her with so much love and affection. I loved getting the regular updates and photos she sent, which kept my mind completely at ease. Aria handled dinner time, diaper changes, and bedtime smoothly and lovingly. She is reliable, communicative, and wonderful with children. 5 stars all the way!"

"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)."
