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!

Yasmine 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Yasmin! I have over 10 years of professional babysitting experience, along with a strong background in caring for my own younger siblings, cousins, and nephew. I first started helping with childcare within my family, and by my mid-teens I was already working regularly as a babysitter for other families. Since then, I’ve cared for children of all ages from infants to school-aged kids and I’m comfortable managing everything from bottle-feeding and nap routines to homework help and after-school activities. I’m confident in creating a safe, fun, and structured environment for kids. I love engaging children with games, crafts, reading, and learning activities that keep them happy and curious. Families describe me as dependable, patient, and trustworthy, and I pride myself on being punctual and communicative. Whether you’re looking for ongoing childcare or occasional help, you can count on me to provide reliable support and genuine care for your little ones.

Yasmin is absolutely incredible! She’s responsible, reliable, and so caring. Kids instantly feel comfortable with her, and parents can relax knowing everything is under control. She’s attentive, patient, and goes above and beyond to make sure everyone is happy and safe. I couldn’t recommend her more highly any family would be lucky to have 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."

"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)."
