Luisa $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Luisa. I'm 26 years old and originally from Nicaragua. I'm bilingual in English and Spanish. I graduated from high school and studied Marketing at university in my home country. I have over 3 years of experience caring for children of different ages, including newborns, infants, toddlers and school-aged kids. I'm patient, loving, responsible, and dependable. I enjoy helping children learn through play, encouraging kindness, building routines and creating a safe, nurturing environment where they can grow and thrive. I'm currently looking for a part-time nanny position with a kind and respectful family. I can start immediately. I have a California Driver's License, my own reliable car, CPR and First Aid Certification, a completed Background Check and TrustLine Registration. In addition to childcare, I'm happy to help with light housekeeping related to the children, meal preparation, laundry and pet care. I love animals and enjoy cooking, reading and spending time outdoors. I believe every child deserves patience, love, and individual attention. I value open communication with parents and always strive to provide dependable, safe and compassionate care while supporting each child's emotional, social and developmental growth.

Booked by 23 families in La Crescenta, CA

I am a graduate student at the University of Southern California. I went to the University of San Francisco for my undergrad, and ended up spending 7 years living in the city. Originally, I am from Texas and I have a younger brother and sister, and am older than most of my cousins so I have a lot of experience with kids and teenagers. I also mentored at Corey Elementary school during my junior year of high and at Boles Jr. High school during my senior year of high school. I used to babysit with this app all throughout undergrad so I have plenty of experience! I also have no pet allergies. Thanks for your time!

Booked by 17 families in La Crescenta, CA

Hi, I’m Mara. I’m 27 with over 10 years of paid childcare experience, working with children from newborn through teenage years. I’ve supported families in long-term, short-term, and overnight roles, and I’m confident handling everything from daily routines to more involved care needs. I also have experience working with children on the autism spectrum, ADHD, and other developmental needs, and I approach each child with patience, awareness, and adaptability. My personality is calm, grounded, and attentive. I naturally create a peaceful, structured environment where children feel safe, understood, and comfortable. I’m very intentional about how I show up present, observant, and responsive without being overwhelming. I have strong experience with infant and toddler care, school routines, transportation to activities, homework support, and meal prep. In many of my long-term roles, I’ve also supported the home during school hours or summer camp schedules, keeping things clean, organized, and running smoothly so families can come home to a well-maintained space. I’m comfortable with both childcare-related tasks and overall household upkeep. I value structure, communication, and mutual respect, and I do best with families who are looking for someone dependable, calm, and proactive. Someone they can trust to handle both childcare and household support without needing constant direction. I’m dependable, consistent, and respectful of each family’s routines and preferences. Families I’ve worked with value that they can trust me to step in seamlessly, stay calm in any situation, and handle responsibilities with care. I take what I do seriously and genuinely care about creating a positive, safe experience for both the child and the family.

“Amazing, quick to respond and my daughter loved her. Will hire again”

With over 15 years of experience in childcare, nurturing children has been my lifelong calling, I discovered at just 15 years old and have never looked back. I bring a warm, attentive presence to every family I work with, creating environments where children feel safe, loved, and inspired to grow. Throughout my career I’ve built deep, lasting bonds with families, many of whom I’ve had the privilege of watching grow from the newborn stage into thriving kids. I take pride in being more than just a caregiver; I become a trusted, seamless part of the family. I come with glowing references from past families and am currently accepting new clients. Whether you’re looking for consistent full time or part time care or a reliable professional who understands the unique needs of your household, I’d love to connect

"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."
