Xochitl $19 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Tarzana, CA

Hi! My name is Xochitl, but I go by Flower. I’m a current senior at UC Riverside majoring in Early Childhood Education. I offer childcare, senior care, and pet care, with most of my experience and passion being in childcare. I’ve been working with children since I was 16 and have experience caring for children of all ages, especially infants. My experience includes UrbanSitter, internships, working at an early childhood center, and working as an ABA with children on the autism spectrum. These experiences have helped me develop strong childcare skills. I am comfortable working with different ages, routines, and needs. I’m also available for school pickups and drop-offs, in-home services, and schedule changes when needed. I am CPR certified and can provide references upon request. I’m dependable, caring, and passionate about working with children, and I’d love the opportunity to help your family! :)

soraya $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Soraya, and I’m a warm, attentive, and dependable caregiver who brings a calm yet playful energy to every home I step into. I genuinely love children and am passionate about helping them grow through joy, creativity, and structure. I am creative, fun, and chill towards any family I support. I’m very intuitive and love learning what makes each child light up. Whether we’re dancing in the living room, learning something new, or just having a quiet moment, I believe caregiving is about connection, presence, and joy.

Lilly $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m the oldest of seven, so caregiving has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a single-parent home, I naturally stepped in to help my mom with everything from homework and bedtime routines to meals and keeping the house running. Those early years taught me how to be patient, responsible, and calm under pressure, and they’re a huge reason why I’m so comfortable working with kids today. Outside of my own family, I’ve spent time caring for children in my community and during college. I worked at youth camps and served as a counselor, leading activities, helping kids build friendships, and supporting them through the ups and downs of being young. I also worked with the Boys and Girls Club, mentoring kids both academically and socially. Those experiences helped me develop my own style of caregiving — warm, creative, and centered around helping each child feel seen and capable. I recently graduated from college, and my education helped strengthen my communication and leadership skills. I love finding ways to connect with kids individually, whether that’s through reading together, exploring their interests, or creating simple learning moments in everyday tasks. As a caregiver, I’m dependable, gentle, and adaptable. I don’t come in just to supervise; I like to really learn each child’s personality, what comforts them, what excites them, and how to support their growth. I’m also great with busy households and don’t mind pitching in with things like meal prep, light cleaning, organizing, homework help, errands, or pet care. I’ve been doing those things my whole life. I have over 7 years of experience caring for children from infancy through age 15, and I’ve had the privilege of nannying for multiple families with diverse needs and personalities. I’m open to both live-in and full-time roles depending on the family’s needs. More than anything, I care about building trust, creating a calm and happy environment, and making life a little easier for the families I work with.

Giacomo $22 per hour for 1 child

Here’s a sport‑oriented version of your introduction, about 200 words: ⸻ My name is Jack, and I bring five years of experience caring for kids, pets, and families. Alongside my work with dogs, cats, and as a personal assistant, I have a real passion for sports and staying active, which I love to share with others. In my free time, I coach kids’ soccer, helping them build teamwork, confidence, and a love for the game. I also enjoy running with dogs, making sure they get the exercise and stimulation they need to stay healthy and happy. My background has taught me to balance structure with fun—whether I’m organizing games for children, planning safe and engaging walks for pets, or supporting elders with companionship and daily routines. Families who work with me know they can count on my energy, reliability, and positive attitude. I believe caregiving is more than supervision—it’s about creating an environment where kids are encouraged, pets are loved, and elders feel respected and supported. My goal is to continue offering babysitting, pet care, and elder care where staying happy is at the heart of everything we do together.

Daniel $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi y'all! My name is Daniel, and I am a 23-year-old recent graduate. I graduated in December 2024 from the University of Northern Colorado with a B.S. in Mathematics, with an emphasis in Middle School Education. A native Coloradan, I relocated to Los Angeles in January of this year and moved in with my long-term girlfriend, who was attending SCA at USC (she graduated this spring semester, yay!). My life and professional experiences have given me the tools and knowledge necessary to provide childcare and household services. I am also open to providing other services. I own (2022 Corolla) and am able to operate a car. I am also great with technology, speak fluent Spanish, and am even willing to offer math tutoring. More info about me below :) As I mentioned earlier, my degree is in middle school math education. Throughout my university program, I completed clinical practices within middle school classrooms and one high school classroom. In the fall semester of 2024, I completed my student-teaching practice, which I credit as my most impactful learning experience in terms of classroom management, pedagogy, and generally aiding kids. I received my initial teaching licensure from the state of Colorado. In Los Angeles, I have done limited substitute work after a lengthy process to transfer my credentials. Although limited in work, I have had the opportunity to work with younger students as I have substituted for first-grade classes and an after-school program that served first- and second-graders. Aside from my teaching experience, I am also a HUGE 'girl-uncle'. I have four nieces and 2 nephews in total, but the youngest are my three nieces. The 11 y/o I babysat weekly during summers in middle and high school when she was a toddler and kid. During the school year, I would watch her after school for a couple of hours before my brother could pick her up after work. The next youngest girls, 4 y/o and 1.5 y/o, I have also babysat in some capacity, but less as I was in college and I have since moved out of state.

"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)."
