Booked by 1 family in Santa Monica, 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.”

"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."
