Maria $28 per hour for 1 child

About Me Hi! My name is Maria and I have over 5 years of experience working as a nanny. I truly enjoy caring for children and creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where they can learn, grow, and feel supported. I have experience caring for children of different ages and can assist with daily routines, meal preparation, homework, transportation, bedtime, and engaging activities. I always strive to meet each child’s unique needs with patience and kindness. In addition to childcare, I also provide household assistance, including light housekeeping, organizing, laundry, meal preparation, and running errands. I am also comfortable caring for pets and making sure they receive the attention and care they need. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors. I love going to parks, relaxing at the beach, and participating in outdoor activities. I believe staying active and spending time in nature brings positive energy and creativity to every day. I am reliable, punctual, responsible, and attentive to each family’s individual needs. My goal is to provide dependable care and create a positive, trustworthy relationship with both children and parents. I look forward to the opportunity to support your family!

Laura $25 per hour for 1 child

I love working with children in one-on-one or small-group settings because it allows me to build meaningful connections and support each child's unique needs and personality. I have been a nanny and babysitter for various families since my undergraduate years (about 9 years) and have spent the past four years as a full-time elementary school teacher. I hold a Master's degree in Education and a bilingual authorization in Spanish from UCLA. My experience has equipped me to provide a safe and engaging environment while supporting children's academic, social, and emotional development. I take pride in being a trusted source of support for families and creating positive, enriching experiences for the children in my care.

Renetta $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I'm Renetta. I'm an Angeleno by way of Texas who'd love to connect with some families in my area to lend a helping hand. I've spent many years in the film industry, and spent the first part of my life and career in social work, at youth centers, and helping out folks with their kiddos. The privilege of being a part of how children grow and thrive is one of my personal "why's", and the opportunity to do so is truly an honor. My schedule is flexible, and I'm open to and believe in being inclusive of all family structures and types. My approach is inclusive of all identities and needs. If this sounds like we'd be a fit, please don't hesitate to reach out!

"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."
