Akira $25 per hour for 1 child

I’ve worked with high needs special needs children up close in home and school environments. I have a severely disabled brother who I helped take care of until I moved out at 19. I have worked in a hospital with individuals who are high risk and need constant supervision in 12 hour shifts(from behavioral patients and seniors to children). I absolutely adore children and have so much fun teaching them and learning from them myself. My schedule is flexible as I work at a restaurant and can schedule time off with 1 weeks notice. My mornings and early afternoons are my most reliably available times, though I can do nights with prior notice. I am interested in getting to know how your family does things and providing the care you need. I am a student in community college studying linguistics. I like playing guitar, gaming, and reading fantasy novels.

Greer $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I'm Greer :) I am here to help with all of your childcare, senior care, pet care, or household service needs! As the second oldest of 7 children, caretaking has always come very naturally to me. I loved being attentive, playing with, and helping my younger siblings from the moment they were born. Whether that was playing pretend with them when they were little or driving them to/from school/dance class/soccer practice, helping with meals, etc... My very first job was as a camp counselor - where I was in charge of the 5-8 year olds. And I started babysitting kids in my neighborhood from the time I was 14! I was also a caretaker to my grandmother before she passed away from breast cancer in 2022. Helping keep her house organized and clean, cooking her meals and running errands for her. I grew up with 2 chihuahua and 2 cats (despite being allergic) and I am a HUGE lover of animals of all sizes! As for me, my friends would describe me as bubbly and silly while still remaining grounded. I attended USC while working full time so I know the importance of time management and multitasking. My favorite things are baking, singing disney songs, hiking, going to the beach, planning themed movie nights, and spending quality time with the people I love.

Samantha Rose $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Sherman Oaks, CA

Hi there! I’m a native New Yorker who loves personalities of all kinds! I started caregiving when I was 10 years old looking after my two younger brothers and have been babysitting ever since. Later on, I moved on to caring for my grandmother as she made her journey through Alzheimer’s. I pride myself in connecting with children as their friends and older sibling rather than as a figure of authority—I find it makes it easier to help them and keep them under control! My background is in the arts so I always like to push children to explore their creative sides. I’m available most evenings and for overnights with the occasional morning and early afternoon. I’m here to make your life easier!

"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)."
