Ash $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m a reliable, attentive caregiver with several years of hands-on experience caring for children of different ages, including infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids. I’m also a mother, which has strengthened my patience, organization, and ability to manage routines, transitions, and emotional needs with care and consistency. I prioritize safety, structure, and clear communication while creating a warm, engaging environment for children. I’m comfortable with daily routines such as meals, naps, school drop-off/pick-up, homework support, playtime, and household tasks related to the children and the entire family if needed. I’m calm under pressure, dependable, and respectful of family boundaries and parenting styles. Families appreciate my professionalism, punctuality, and ability to adapt quickly while keeping children happy, safe, and supported. I’m seeking a consistent role with a family who values trust, reliability, and open communication.

Parker $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I'm originally from Los Angeles and just graduated from Boston College, where I studied English and marketing. I've spent the past several years babysitting for about 5 families across LA, so I'm comfortable with kids of different ages and personalities. I'm one of three girls in my family, and I grew up with two very energetic dogs at home—so I'm no stranger to chaos (or cleanup)! In my free time, I love watercolor painting, playing volleyball, and dreaming up fun activities and games to keep kids engaged and entertained. I'm also proficient in French and always happy to practice with kids who are learning or in a bilingual household! I currently work part-time as a jewelry stylist and sales associate at Gorjana, so my availability varies depending on my shifts, which fall between 10am–7pm, plus two full days off each week. I'm happy to work around my schedule to find a time that fits yours!

"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)."
