Booked by 2 families in South Pasadena, CA

Hi!! My name is Silvia and I’m a bilingual (English & Spanish) artist and musician with a background in education and child development. I'm offering child care, senior care and household services. I truly enjoy caring for children and have experience with babies, toddlers, and older kids. I’ve worked as a music teacher and songwriting coach for kids and I love bringing creativity and play into my time with them whether it’s singing songs, doing crafts or helping with homework. I'm good at cooking and I also have great skills at driving. I’m responsible, caring and energetic, and I’m happy to help with school pick-ups, meal prep, light cleaning or bedtime routines. I'm pretty sure we will have fun together! I’ve also cared for my own grandparents and I'm comfortable supporting seniors with daily tasks, companionship or errands. I’m very patient and respectful and love listening to their stories. I’m pet-friendly and have experience taking care of dogs and cats. I'll be happy to adapt to your family’s unique needs.

“Silvia was early and made us feel so comfortable. She didn’t have too much to do with the baby asleep, but I’m sure she’d be great if he needed her!”

Milan 2 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Milan, and I offer child care, non-medical senior care, house sitting, errand running and household services. I graduated from Howard University with my bachelor's degree and recently earned my master's degree from University of Southern California. Over the past few years, I've worked in residential life, summer programs, and student support, where I helped supervise students, plan activities, provide mentorship, and create safe, welcoming environments. Those experiences strengthened my patience, communication, and ability to stay calm and organized. For child care, I'm happy to help with homework, reading, arts and crafts, games, bedtime routines, meal prep, transportation, and light housekeeping. I enjoy keeping kids engaged while making sure they feel safe, supported, and have fun. I also provide non-medical senior care and companionship. Whether it's running errands, grocery shopping, meal preparation (I love cooking and baking!) transportation to appointments, light household tasks, or simply providing company, I'm happy to help make everyday life a little easier. In addition, I'm available for house sitting and can bring in mail, water plants, take out trash bins, and help keep your home secure while you're away. I'm dependable, organized, and easy to communicate with. I know how important it is to trust the person coming into your home, and I strive to treat every family with kindness, respect, and professionalism. Please note: I have an allergy to animal fur, so I'm unfortunately unable to work in homes with cats, dogs, or other furry pets.

“Milan has been my babysitter for my four children for the past couple of years, and I have nothing but the utmost respect and admiration for the care and dedication she has shown my family. She has consistently gone above and beyond in every aspect of her role, and I truly cannot recommend her highly enough. One of the things that has impressed me most is her ability to connect with each of my children on an individual level. She helped my son, who was struggling in math, by patiently working with him and encouraging him to stay motivated. Thanks in part to her support, he improved from earning D’s to becoming a B student. Seeing that kind of progress speaks volumes about her patience, commitment, and genuine investment in the children she cares for. Milan is incredibly reliable and dependable. I have always been able to count on her to pick up and drop off my children safely, make sure they arrive at karate and dance classes on time, and keep our family’s schedule running smoothly. Knowing my children are in responsible hands has given me tremendous peace of mind. She is also highly professional. She follows instructions carefully, asks thoughtful questions whenever clarification is needed, and communicates exceptionally well. She keeps me informed, is respectful of our family’s routines and expectations, and consistently demonstrates maturity and sound judgment. Beyond meeting responsibilities, Milan creates a positive, engaging environment for my children. She plans fun, educational activities that keep them entertained while helping them learn and grow. She is kind, patient, and nurturing, while also knowing when to be firm and maintain appropriate boundaries. My children absolutely adore her and genuinely look forward to spending time with her. Milan has been an invaluable part of our family’s support system. Her experience, reliability, professionalism, and genuine love for children make her an outstanding caregiver. I recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for someone they can trust completely with their children.”

Laura marcela 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Laura, and I am originally from Colombia. Children bring so much joy, peace, and happiness into my life. I consider myself a very positive, energetic, happy, responsible, and caring person. I take pride in strong communication skills, a positive outlook, and creating meaningful connections with the families I work with. I have over 15 years of experience caring for children, and child safety is always my top priority. I strive to provide a warm, fun, and nurturing environment in every babysitting or caregiving assignment. My goal is for parents to feel completely at ease and confident knowing their children are in competent, loving, and reliable hands. In addition to working with children, I also have experience caring for seniors. I volunteered at a senior home, where I spent time assisting seniors and supporting caregivers with daily tasks. I also provided professional, compassionate care for an elderly woman with dementia, working closely with her family and ensuring she was treated with dignity, patience, and respect. This experience was incredibly meaningful to me and strengthened my caregiving skills across all ages. Academically, I have completed my Associate’s degree in Social & Behavioral Science and Health Science at Irvine Valley College. I am CPR certified, completed a Holistic Newborn Care Specialist workshop, and hold a Certified Nursing Assistant diploma from Colombia. I am currently attending Cal State LA, majoring in Public Health. I am also happy to assist with household needs such as running errands, helping with school homework, organizing daily routines, and driving children to and from activities. I have a California driver’s license with a clean driving record, and I am very comfortable driving children safely. I would love the opportunity to meet with you to see if I would be a great addition to your family. . Thank you so much for your time and consideration—I look forward to hearing from you.

“Laura Salazar has been amazing with my two youngest children. She is incredibly kind, patient, and attentive, and my kids felt comfortable with her right away. As a parent, it gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I truly felt I could trust her completely around my children, which is everything when it comes to childcare. I highly recommend Laura to any family looking for someone reliable, caring, and trustworthy.”

Booked by 2 families in South Pasadena, CA

Hello, my name is Marleen. Although I’m only 19 years old I am very experienced with taking care of children with care and lots of patience. I just got on this app which is why I have few reviews but I’ve been babysitting for about two years now. I am an older sister of three siblings 14, 12, and 9 years old. I have been surrounded with kids/ babies my whole life. At just the age of nine I was in charge of taking care of my siblings. I would and still take care of them on a daily basis. I know that at times things could get chaotic but I am the best fit for that task. I have also babysit for my fellow friends and family members. I could also pet sit if that’s needed. If you need help with chores around the house I’m willing to help too but with a raise. If there is any specific things needed to do I will be gladly to do them. I am very familiar with soccer, track, xc, and basketball as I played all these sports in high school. I love to stay active! Services Offered -Infant & toddler care -Homework help -Meal & snack prep -Light cleaning -Fun activities & games Why Choose Me? -Responsible & reliable -Great with kids -Experience with children (family & more) -Caring and patient

$28 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Taz. I have over 9+ yrs of babysitting experience with children ages toddlers - 10+ yrs. I am the go to sitter for all my friends & I have regular families that I work with monthly. I have families that I work with date nights, nanny coverage, school closure, etc. I provide my monthly availability calendar to families which they enjoy this format, and I also can be reached out anytime via text for dates, last min requests, etc. I have experience petsitting (I have a dog & cat) & housesitting. I have loved the experience of caretaking and I look forward to meeting more sweet kids / families in the neighborhood. When I'm not caring for your loved ones, photography is a passion of mine specializing in photojournalism, candids, & child photography. I also help pt at an office on flexible weekends. I am reliable, I have a flexible schedule, & I provide light housework while kids are sleeping. I look forward to meeting you. :)

“Taz has been our primary go-to sitter for the last year. My 3.5 yr old son absolutely adores her and asks for her constantly. She’s our date night sitter and handles bedtime like a pro, and we also book her to watch him when his preschool has a day off. On those days they play outside, go for walks, make art, play play doh and have a blast. A bonus is she takes amazing photos while they’re hanging out. Taz is super trustworthy, easy to communicate with and very reliable. I also love how she sends us a view of her month’s availability. We love Taz and highly recommend her!”

"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)."
