Marieke $30 per hour for 1 child

With 16 years of experience as a nanny, I've spent most of that time caring for children between 5 months and 5 years old, and I genuinely love this work. I'm patient, creative, and easygoing, and I quickly build warm, trusting relationships with both kids and parents. I believe communication is key, so I'm happy to keep you updated regularly in whatever style works best for your family. I'm comfortable enforcing house rules consistently, and I love spending time outdoors and incorporating educational activities into our day. I can also help with cooking, carpooling, and swimming supervision, and I'm CPR certified for added peace of mind. Above all, my goal is to be a reliable, supportive caregiver your family can count on.

My name is Nafina. I am a 23 year old tutor and teacher’s assistant looking for extra work beyond my current position. With 4 years of experience in the field of education with both elementary-age and university students, I hope to expand my skill set to babysitting! My experience in both education as well as other jobs including food service, retail, and program administration has equipped me as an adaptable, thoughtful, caring, and hardworking childcare provider. I deeply enjoy working with children in the classroom, where I tutor various subjects including mathematics, phonics, writing composition, and reading comprehension. This classroom experience has also given me the skills to support children’s overall development in addition to ensuring that they have an enjoyable, productive learning experience. Getting to know each of my students individually and ensuring that they each feel heard, understood, and supported is incredibly important for me. As for me personally, some of my personal hobbies include reading, drawing, journaling, and working out. I enjoy integrating creative activities into my lessons with my students and would love to bring that into my babysitting as well!

Booked by 1 family in Northridge, CA

Hi! I’m Elisabeth. I truly enjoy spending time with children and animals—especially dogs and cats. I believe they bring so much joy and positivity, and I love creating a safe, caring, and fun environment for them. Spanish is my first language (I’m from Argentina), and I’m happy to speak both Spanish and English with families. I’ve been caring for children since I was young, helping neighbors as well as my sister. After moving to Los Angeles, I gained experience working with infants, toddlers, and older children. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each child’s unique needs. I also bring 18 years of professional experience in a different field, which has strengthened my reliability, organization, and communication skills. I look forward to supporting your family!

"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."
