Hi! I'm Lesley. I have experience caring for children of various ages and have had the opportunity to work with many wonderful families over the years, including several repeat families. I enjoy building positive relationships with both children and parents and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids can feel comfortable and engaged. Over the past several years, I've built a professional career in business and operations, which has strengthened my organization, communication, problem-solving, and responsibility skills. I bring those same qualities to every family I work with and pride myself on being dependable, patient, and attentive. I especially enjoy spending quality time with children through games, crafts, outdoor activities, reading, and helping with homework or daily routines. My goal is always to make children feel supported while giving parents peace of mind when they're away. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, staying active, exploring Los Angeles, and spending time at home with my two cats. I'm also very comfortable around pets and am happy to help families with cats and dogs as needed. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your family, and I would love the opportunity to help. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to connecting with you!

With over 15 years of experience in childcare, nurturing children has been my lifelong calling, I discovered at just 15 years old and have never looked back on. I bring a warm, attentive presence to every family I work with, creating environments where children feel safe, loved, and inspired to grow. Throughout my career I’ve built deep, lasting bonds with families, many of whom I’ve had the privilege of watching grow from the newborn stage into thriving kids. I take pride in being more than just a caregiver; I become a trusted, seamless part of the family. I come with glowing references from past families and am currently accepting new clients. Whether you’re looking for consistent full time or part time care or a reliable professional who understands the unique needs of your household, I’d love to connect

Thank you!

Hi families! My name is Catherine. I am currently pursuing my bachelor's degree, but I love working with children on the side, as I have always loved working with youth. I understand how instrumental it is for children to have someone patient, supportive, and caring to support their growth and well-being. I have been caregiving for children, from infants to preteens (5m-12y) for about 5 years now. I used to work as a Camp Counselor during the summers, which taught me multitasking, patience, and problem-solving, amongst several valuable lessons. I have also grown up babysitting outside the app, building valuable and meaningful connections with several families and caring for their little ones! My responsibilities consisted of organizing and maintaining each child's schedule, organizing playdates, assisting with homework, organizing and providing creative projects and arts and crafts, assisting with light housekeeping duties, and maintaining bedtime routines! I understand that choosing a caregiver for your children is a significant decision, and I take that trust very seriously. My goal is to create an environment where children feel safe, comfortable, and encouraged to be themselves. Additionally, I am offering pet care and household services. I am extremely comfortable with dogs/cats, as I grew up around them. Can work around their diets, schedules, playtime, and routines! Grew up with three very large American Bulldogs, so size is not an issue for me. I enjoy playing with both cats and dogs of all breeds! My ultimate goal is to ensure families and individuals can rely on someone to look after their pets, little ones, or receive a helping hand with household services! I am also open to interviews if needed. Thank you for your consideration!

Catherine is really great with my daughter, it’s been great having her take care of my daughter while I am at home working. She arrives on time, talks and reads to my baby. She stays engaged with my baby and is able to get her to nap.

Dear Families, My name is Stephanie, and I am confident that my experience in effectively managing time-sensitive tasks and working closely with children positions me as an excellent urban sitter. During my time at Intergen Health as a home health aide, I gained invaluable insights into meeting holistic needs by providing emotional and basic support. This role also allowed me to develop strong prioritization skills, ensuring that tasks were efficiently managed. Additionally, I had the opportunity to teach Basic American Sign Language and provide tutoring for children with special needs. I also served as a counselor and mentor at a youth camp, enabling me to build meaningful connections with the young participants. Furthermore, I worked as a dance instructor at the Young after School Program in Brooklyn, where I engaged students aged five through twelve in creative movement. In terms of qualifications, I hold certifications in Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children Awareness (RFA Renewal and SCI Specialized) from Los Angeles Trade Technical College, Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children Awareness (RFA Renewal and SCI Specialized)" from Los Angeles Trade Technical College, RFA (Resource Family Approval, completion of the initial 12-Hour Special Care Increment Training at Los Angeles Trade Technical College through the Foster and Kinship Care Education Program, CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation), and ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) from my previous work as a Behavioral Technician. These certifications emphasize both safety and behavioral support for children. As a mother myself to five wonderful children aged 9, 7, 4, 2 and 9 months old, I genuinely enjoy the joys and responsibilities of parenthood. Rest assured that I will treat your child with the same love and care as if they were my own. Having been a stay-at-home mom for seven years, I am well-versed in various aspects of child care such as changing diapers, cooking nutritious meals, maintaining cleanliness, engaging in playtime activities, and instilling a love for reading. Witnessing the happiness on children's faces as they eat or play brings immense joy to my heart. I am truly excited about becoming an asset to the families associated with UrbanSitter. Thank you kindly for taking the time to consider my application. Warmest regards, Stephanie D

"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)."
