Booked by 1 family in Gardena, CA

I am a responsible, caring, and reliable nanny with hands-on experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-age children. I am also a mother of an 8-year-old daughter, which gives me a deep understanding of children’s daily needs, routines, and emotional development. Currently, I work as a nanny for two children, ages 1 and 3 years old. I truly enjoy spending time with children, creating a safe, calm, and nurturing environment where they feel supported, happy, and encouraged to grow. I am looking for additional babysitting opportunities in the evenings or on my days off from my regular nanny position. I am comfortable caring for newborns, babies, toddlers, and older children. I enjoy engaging children in age-appropriate games, creative activities, outdoor play, and educational activities that support their development. In addition to childcare, I can: • Prepare healthy meals • Assist with light housekeeping related to children • Help with elderly care • Take care of pets I am a non-smoker and maintain a healthy lifestyle with no bad habits. I am reliable, calm, patient, organized, and attentive to detail. I have been living in Los Angeles for 2 years. My English is basic, but I am improving every day and can communicate clearly for everyday needs. I am willing to obtain CPR and First Aid certification upon family request, and I would appreciate employer support for the certification cost if required. Families can rely on me to provide loving, responsible, and consistent care for their children.

“Great attitude, on-time, helped clean, and clear communication. The kids really enjoyed her.”

“This young lady cared for our child from the age of two months until our child was three years old, and she did an exceptional job. She was outstanding in every aspect of care, including preparing meals, ensuring daily walks and park outings, and providing educational activities such as teaching our child Spanish. Most importantly, she consistently respected and followed the boundaries we set as parents with great care and professionalism. Entrusting someone with our child is not something we take lightly, and she exceeded our expectations in every way. We highly recommend Ruth to any family seeking a reliable, attentive, and trustworthy caregiver.”

Nadtine $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Gardena, CA

Hi! My name is Nadtine. I’m currently in nursing school and also work as a behavioral technician, where I’ve gained years of experience working with children of different ages and personalities. I have over 5 years of paid childcare experience working with kids ages 4 and up, and I’m BLS and CPR certified, and I have experience in ABA as a behavioral technician. Growing up as the oldest sibling with three younger brothers taught me patience, responsibility, leadership, and how to keep up with lots of energy! I also grew up playing soccer and other sports, so I love staying active, playing outside, and creating fun activities for kids instead of just relying on screens all day. I’m very clean, organized, dependable, and comfortable around pets. Kids naturally tend to warm up to me quickly because I’m caring, energetic, and easy to talk to. Whether it’s helping with homework, bedtime routines, meal prep, sports, crafts, or simply making sure your child feels safe and supported, I always do my best to create a positive and fun environment. I truly love working with children and look forward to building great relationships with both kids and parents. I can’t wait to meet y’all!

Briana $18 per hour for 1 child

I've been babysitting for 10 years. At a young age, I started babysitting. I help raise my niece's and nephew's. I'm very good with kids. I make a great connection with them. I can help them with homework, learn new things for their growth and playtime. I took care of a 97 year old lady with dementia for about two years in her home. I feed her, help her change clothes, and kept her house clean. Lastly, I currently have a cat that I have had since he was a newborn. he's very well groomed and very healthy. I also help my friend with her dogs. I take them on walks, they eat twice a day and I play with all the animals.

"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."
