Stephanie $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Stephanie, and I am offering short-term and occasional childcare, household support, and pet care. I'm a pediatric oncology nurse who recently moved to LA, and as I look for my next nursing job, I’d love to support families with quality care during this transitional period. I also have a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood & Family Studies, so working with children has always been a huge joy and passion of mine! Before becoming a nurse, I spent over 10 years babysitting and nannying for families with children of all ages. I especially love working with infants! I am dedicated to creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for kids—one that emphasizes creativity, structure, early childhood development support, and screen-free play. Activities like arts and crafts, reading, outdoor adventures, and imaginative play. I pride myself on being patient, dependable, loving, and fun, while also being attentive to each family’s routines and preferences. I’ve had the privilege of working with many different families and children, and I will always strive to meet each child and family where they are, offering care that feels personal and consistent. I love animals and am comfortable with cats and dogs, open to animal care as well. I am excited to connect and learn more about your family!

Kai $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I'm Kai, and I've been a caregiver for the past 21 years. I have non-medical/various medical experience with all ages, as I come from a background of nurses. I am an aspiring nurse and want to specialize in Neonatal care. I love children, animals, seniors, and people in general. I smile a lot, I'm playful, and believe it takes a loving person to help others near or far. I take care of hospice patients all over LA through a nursing agency and I love it. I'm open to a plethora of assignments and have worked with children of various conditions in the past, and my goal is to take the weight off your shoulders, and be here for you. I love cooking, cleaning, organizing, packing/unpacking if you're moving, decorating, doing arts and crafts, conversing, and so much more. I am a mother myself to a loving 10 year old girl who means the world to me. I don't do much driving like I used to because I have very sensitive eyes, but it doesn't interfere with my daily tasks, as I do not allow it to. Thank you for stopping by, and remember that we all deserve to be who we are with good intentions and equality. I also have a clean background which it'll forever remain that way. 💖✨️🤗

Alex $25 per hour for 1 child

Dear Parents, my name is Alex and I am a caring, energetic, and reliable caregiver who is an LA native. I attended Harvard-Westlake high school and NYU. I did a lot of babysitting in college when I was in NYC and I am looking to get back into it as I try to support my career as a screenwriter in Hollywood. When I was twenty my dad had two daughters with his new wife so I have spent the last ten years watching my two beautiful half sisters grow up. I lived at the house with them from basically the time they were born until they were seven and five. I cared for them as babies and was constantly playing with them as we were all stuck in quarantine together during COVID. I did everything with them from constant games, to dress up, to even teaching them how to swim in our pool. When we weren't playing I helped prepare them meals, bathed them after dinner, and read books / sang songs to them to put them to bed. I currently live in an apartment in Brentwood with my girlfriend and have flexible hours to be a caregiver as I work around my writing schedule. I am comfortable with kids of all ages, from babies to teenagers and I also love animals. I am 31 years old and a few of my friends have started having kids and I am always the first one they call when they need a sitter. I am confident that with all my experience with kids and a fun loving personality I can be a perfect fit for your family. I look forward to working with you and caring fro your child.

"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)."
