Lauren $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am looking to do full time summer nannying for a family once the school year ends. I am currently full time employed at a tech company but want to pivot. I love kids and as the oldest daughter I have babysat my entire life both for my own siblings as well as neighbors and other families. In college I consistently watched for a family full time over the summer each year. Most children I’ve watched have been in elementary or pre school but I am happy to watch all ages. I am also great with house work, cooking, and help with taking kids to activities. If you are looking for a summer sitter (or more ad-hoc/weekends/after school), please reach out!

Francesca $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Fran. I'm an MFT therapist and experienced caregiver who genuinely enjoys supporting children, families, seniors, and pets. In addition to extensive pet-sitting experience, I've cared for toddlers, including a long-term babysitting role lasting over six months. My professional background working with children, teens, and families has taught me how to create safe, nurturing, engaging environments while staying calm, patient, and attentive to individual needs. Families describe me as warm, dependable, responsible, and easy to communicate with. Whether you need childcare, pet care, companionship for a loved one, or help around the house, I bring professionalism, kindness, and a genuine commitment to helping others feel cared for and supported.

Hi there! My background in education is geared toward the biological sciences, with a double major in microbiology and CLS and prior education in pre-nursing/allied health, so I have a solid understanding of the importance of maintaining a clean enviroment, child development, and eating a well-rounded diet. Over the past two years, I have worked with many families, including my own. I have the most experience with kids ages 2 to 7, and activities I am familiar with include taking them to swim lessons, working in co-op preschools, helping with words/ABCs, feeding, meal prep, and potty training. Although I have less experience with infants, I am very adaptable and willing to learn. I enjoy caregiving because I feel like the world can be so harsh and serious, and that children bring joy and silliness that we, adults, can forget about! I believe children are our greatest teachers, and I hope not only to learn from them but also to create an environment of empathy, understanding, and, as always, boundaries. I am currently learning Spanish (A1) and would love to work with a bilingual family so I can reach a conversational level. I love doing Sudoku and learning new things. The new hobbies that I have just taken on are metal detecting and Magic: The Gathering.

Kaitlyn $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I have been a babysitter for about two-three years, both on and off, and caring for children has always been a big part of my life. My mom ran an in-home daycare, and I grew up helping her care for kids of all ages. As the oldest sibling, I’ve always been the one to look after my younger brother and sister, including supporting my brother who has learning disabilities. I truly love working with kids and have a caring, thoughtful heart. I like to bring an “older sister” feeling to my care taking-- being playful and supportive while also making sure children feel safe and protected. Whether it’s playing, helping with homework, or keeping routines consistent, I always do my best to make kids feel happy, cared for, and secure.

I love being a babysitter because spending time with children brings me so much joy. I have years of hands-on experience caring for children, starting with raising my own child and helping care for grandchildren and family friends. I live in Central Sunset and speak Mandarin Chinese. I’m able to communicate effectively with English-speaking families using translation apps.

"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)."
