$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in South Lake Tahoe, CA

Hello! My name is Josie :) I live in the beautiful Lake Tahoe and working with children is my passion! My journey began with positive babysitting experiences and grew into a desire to make a real difference in children's lives. With three years of experience, I offer attentive care for one child at a time. I am patient, creative, and approachable, so I easily connect with children. I communicate with parents using their preferred method, whether that's a quick chat at pickup or regular updates via text. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules while encouraging fun through outdoor games, board games, and educational activities. I am currently in college studying elementary education with big dreams of working with kids and becoming a teacher one day! First Aid Training, CPR Training, and Early Child Development Coursework. I'm also happy to help with cooking, carpooling, light housekeeping, travel, and swimming supervision. I am willing to use my skills to provide a safe, enriching environment for your child. Have been dog sitting for many family friends for years! Personally don't have any dogs due to a family members allergies but personally love dogs! I have two cats of my own. Also have bird sit a family friends bird from time to time when they would go on vacation! I walk, feed, and play with dogs. I love personally dog sitting and cat sitting, love to meet and be around new dogs and cats! My rate starts at $25/hour and goes up depending on how many dogs you have!

Josie was an absolutely exceptional babysitter. Punctual, attentive, playful, and very capable. She was able to more easily get my toddler down for a nap than even me! Took care of meals, kept the house tidy, played games, did creative activities… I cannot sat enough good things, and will definitely continue to hire.

Lauren $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Lauren and I am a childcare professional and a mom to one wonderful 3 year old son. I have been working with newborns, toddlers and school age children since I was 18 years old. I also am an animal lover and have been a dog groomer in the past. I am very much able to help with animal care and any household chores that may need to be taken care of. I have always loved working with children and now that I am a mom myself that love has only grown. I have been a preschool teacher for a few years now and before that I was a private nanny. I can cook and drive if and whenever needed to help with household tasks or taking children to appointments.

Mora $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Mora — it’s so nice to meet you! I wanted to tell you a little bit about myself. I’m originally from Bariloche, Argentina. I’m a ski instructor and I’m currently studying Interior Design back home. I was born and raised in the mountains, and that’s always been a big part of who I am. I’ve been working as a babysitter for the past five years, caring for kids from 1 year old up to teenagers around 15. I truly enjoy spending time with children, connecting with them, and adapting to their routines, personalities, and family life. I’m patient, warm, responsible, and very attentive. I’m temporarily in North Lake Tahoe for the ski season, and I’m available to help any family who might need an extra hand — whether it’s occasional babysitting, regular help, or support during busy days. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to reach out. I’d love to meet you and your little ones! Warmly, Mora

"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

"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)."
