Jayelle $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents! I am a kind, creative, and patient nanny. I have six years of experience with kiddos 0-13 years old, including neurodivergent children, and love engaging them in active and creative play. I love the happy chaos of working with siblings and am comfortable caring for 3+ children at a time. I'm happy to help with light meal and snack prep, kid related tidying, and I have a clean driving record with a safe, insured car. I am warm and communicative, and love working with families that are the same!

India $30 per hour for 1 child

SCHEDULING: Please reach out. I am very flexible. Even though I have a set availability, I still may be able to care for your kiddos. I DO NOT do overnights UNLESS I have worked for the family before and feel safe. I have over 8 years of experience working with children in a variety of settings, including as a nanny, substitute teacher, tutor, and summer camp leader. For the past 6+ years, I’ve been actively involved in students’ education through both school and in-home tutoring. I have experience working with children ages 4 and up and truly enjoy helping kids learn, grow, and build confidence. As a nanny, my role has primarily focused on tutoring, creating fun and engaging adventures and activities (my favorite part!), and helping with bedtime routines. While my experience has mainly centered around childcare and education, I’m also open to assisting with household tasks as needed. My experience as a substitute teacher, both short- and long-term, has helped me develop strong classroom management, communication, and problem-solving skills. I’m patient, energetic, dependable, and love creating a positive environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to be themselves. I enjoy balancing structure with fun and believe in building genuine connections with the children and families I work with. A little about me: I love staying active, exploring new places, and making everyday moments fun and memorable for kids. I’m also in law school! I want to work with juveniles eventually.

Kaitlyn 1 review
$26 per hour for 1 child

I have four years of dedicated experience working with children and families, spanning private nannying, youth enrichment, and professional school settings. In my current role as an elementary after-school lead teacher and mentor, I manage daily administrative duties including scheduling, activity logistics, inventory, and parent communications, alongside designing art, culinary, sports, and STEM programs. Managing groups of up to 30 children has made me uniquely equipped to handle complex dynamics, maintain daily routines, and keep households running smoothly and efficiently. I bring a structured, reliable, and proactive approach to managing home and family schedules while fostering a safe, engaging environment for kids. While I bring a friendly, approachable, and creative energy to everything I do, I am deeply mature, reliable, and confident when it comes to keeping children safe and accountable. Alongside my hands-on experience, I have completed coursework in Early Childhood Education, giving me a solid understanding of child development, milestone progression, and positive behavior management. I am CPR/AED certified and Live Scan background-checked, and have 8+ certifications with LAUSD, ensuring safety and peace of mind for every family I work with.

“We are so lucky to have found Kaitlyn on UrbanSitter. She has been absolutely wonderful with our two children, Sloane and Hudson. Both of them can naturally be quite shy, but Kaitlyn is incredibly welcoming and caring with such a warm heart. She knew exactly how to connect with them, which has really helped them come out of their shells and build their everyday confidence. They absolutely adore her and always look forward to seeing her. We highly recommend Kaitlyn to any family looking for a genuinely nurturing nanny!”

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
