Hello Families, My name is Angela, and I am from Colombia. I am a graduate student in Public Health. I have been caring for children for the past 18 years. I am CPR/First Aid certified and possess a California driver's license. I am current on all my vaccines. I am also a certified Postpartum Doula with over 13 years of experience. My philosophy is to support the baby, the mom, and the family in creating a balanced and loving environment. I am highly dedicated to my work and take it seriously. I enjoy activities such as engaging in art projects, visiting parks, museums, and zoos, going for walks, and baking with children. I appreciate parents who provide clear instructions for their children's routines, set boundaries, and communicate effectively. One preference I have is that children usually stay away from screens while with me, except on weekends, although I respect if parents prefer otherwise. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions!

Hi, I’m Donna! I’ve been caring for children for over 20 years, and I’ve always loved being part of a child’s growth and development. I have a lot of experience with newborns, infants, toddlers, and young children, including caring for children from newborn through age 5. I spent three years working in a daycare infant room and two years in the toddler room, so I’m very comfortable with everything from newborn routines and bottle feeding to naps, playtime, early learning, and keeping busy little ones engaged. I’m CPR certified and certified in Early Childhood Development, and I’m someone who is patient, nurturing, dependable, and genuinely enjoys getting to know each child’s personality. I love creating a safe and comfortable environment where children can learn, play, and simply be themselves. I’d love the opportunity to meet your family, learn about your childcare needs, and hopefully become someone you and your little ones can feel comfortable with and trust. 

“We were incredibly fortunate to have Donna care for our two boys from 2020 to 2023. When she started with our family, our youngest was a newborn and our oldest was three, so she was with us through some very busy and important years. She was dependable, capable, and wonderful at managing the needs of two young children at different stages. She was comfortable driving the boys to activities and outings, which was a huge help as they got older, and we always felt confident having them in her care. She also went above and beyond childcare by helping us keep the house clean and organized, which made such a difference for our family. She was flexible, hardworking, and willing to pitch in wherever she was needed. We are very grateful for the years Donna spent with our family and would happily recommend her to another family looking for an experienced, reliable, and caring nanny.”

Nice to meet you! I’m Kate, a 37 year old career nanny who moved from Chicago to LA in 2021 for a jet-setting/bi-coastal, travel heavy nanny position, and once the position ended, I decided to stay out here permanently. I live in Orange County with my girlfriend, and work M-Th, 7a-7p, in Studio City. My previous position was Jan ‘23- Nov ‘24. My background has always been in early childhood, and majored in early childhood education in college. I have years of experience with all age ranges and backgrounds: from kids who thrive in group settings to kids that do best with individualized, 1:1 care to kids who are neurodivergent. My first and top priority is the safety and wellbeing. Second is play, exploration, imagination, creativity, and seeing kids explore based on what they are into and things they find interesting. Third is, in my day-to-day, I take a child-centered approach. Including, but not limited to: time outside, walks, going to playgrounds, and finding activities within the home that the kids enjoy. My experience includes: working as a in-home support worker with neurodivergent kids, have worked at 3 early childhood centers (both as an assistant teacher and lead teacher); and all my experience has been from newborn to school age. In my free time: I love checking out new restaurants, adventuring the outdoors with my girlfriend, finding new trails to hike on AllTrails, the beach, and weekend trips

“Punctual, professional, and great experience.”

Hi, My name is Aimee and I was born and raised in North Jersey. As a creative, I am a huge advocate for self expression and being yourself. And spending time with children reminds me the importance of that. I've been working with kids for over ten years and as the oldest of five, caring for children and being attentive to their needs is first nature to me. I have experience nannying & babysitting the kids of my neighbors, aunts, uncles etc. Also, I've worked as a Substitute nanny, date-night nanny and as a teacher's assistant in daycare centers/preschools. My favorite part of nannying is when I see a child grow more confident in themselves and their abilities. There's something about seeing a child do something that they thought they couldn't do, it warms my heart :) With your child, I plan to teach them, care for them, go on plenty of walks with them (parks are epic), visit the library, a museum, have a dance party or two and just support their development and individuality. That was a bit about me and I look forward to meeting you! All the best, Aimee A.

Frequently asked questions about hiring a wedding babysitter

What is a wedding babysitter?

A wedding babysitter watches children during a ceremony, reception, rehearsal dinner, or other wedding-related event. Families often hire one for hotel rooms, kids' rooms at the venue, or late-night care during the celebration.

How much does a wedding babysitter cost?

As of October 2026, the average U.S. babysitting rate is $23.97 per hour for one child. Rates vary by city, experience, number of children, and job length. For weddings or longer event bookings, some families offer a higher rate. See average babysitting rates in your area.

How is UrbanSitter different from a wedding babysitting service?

With a wedding sitter service, you are typically assigned a caregiver and may pay an agency fee. On UrbanSitter, you browse profiles and reviews, then choose the sitter you are most comfortable with. Every sitter completes an annual background check, and you can schedule a phone or video interview before the wedding for added peace of mind.

How do I find a babysitter for a destination wedding?

If you are traveling to a wedding in another city, share the wedding location and details. Babysitters in that area can respond, and you can review profiles, repeat families, and reviews from local parents. A strong local track record can be helpful when you are not familiar with the area. You can also schedule a phone or video interview before your trip.
