Aveed $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Aveed. I genuinely love working with kids and have 3 years of experience at Kumon, where I helped students of all personalities and learning styles. I was often trusted with more challenging children because of my patience, creativity, and ability to connect with them while keeping learning fun and productive. In addition, I have 2 years of nannying experience for neighbors, where I regularly cared for multiple children at once. I’m comfortable managing different ages, keeping kids engaged, helping with homework, and maintaining a safe and structured environment. I’m very creative and enjoy playing the piano and violin, painting, and coming up with engaging activities that keep kids entertained and learning. I also love staying active, whether it’s playing outside, doing crafts, or organizing games. I love animals too — I have a puppy of my own and am happy to be around pets. I’m responsible, patient, and dependable, and I strive to create a safe, positive, and fun environment for children. I would love the opportunity to work with your family!

Hi there! I'm a 26 years old nanny who's been working with kids for over 6 years now. I'm an energetic, friendly, caring and flexible person. English is my second language and I like to share my native language with them (Spanish). I love arts and crafts and baking and always happy to have little helpers with me while doing that.

I am a retired teacher from LAUSD. I enjoy providing loving care to children. I’m a dependable person who will give 100 % to anything I do. I have been taking care of children since I was 10. I was a foster parent for 15 years also. I also tutor all academic subjects. I also have a Masters in Education. I was with my second family for 3 years. They moved to Texas, and I still keep in contact with them. In my spare time I write poetry and enjoy painting murals for elementary schools.

Dominique $25 per hour for 1 child

Very loyal and very protective. When it comes to people especially kids I’m very protective as if they’re one of my own. Im an Uncle and though I’m not the father of my nieces I’m feel like they’re my kids. I would do anything for them or my family. I feel above all we have to do our part as human beings to protect the upcoming youth. Not just because their kids but because their innocent and deserve that protection.

Dynasty $21 per hour for 1 child

I’m currently in college studying English Literature and children development. I’ll be obtaining my teacher’s credentials. Not only am I going to school to teach and understand the development of a child, I’ve grown up being the youngest in a family of 13. I’ve babysat my sibling’s kids all the time, and it’s helped me a lot with my education. I grew up with 2 dogs and 1 cat, so I have a bit experience taking care of pets as well. A little about me, I love reading, writing poetry, crocheting and dancing! I’m very easy going and love talking and meeting new people. I’m also reliable ;) I hope to become a reoccurring 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."
