Jin $25 per hour for 1 child

I genuinely love working with children and naturally connect with them, making them feel safe, happy, and heard. I’m kind, patient, and communicate warmly, which helps build trust quickly. I have over 13 years of experience as a TV producer at a major Korean broadcasting company, where I created children’s programs. This gave me a deep understanding of child development, creativity, and emotional care. As a parent of a highly gifted child (top 0.1%), I also have strong insight into nurturing each child’s unique strengths, confidence, and character. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for children and supporting their growth in a positive, structured, and loving environment.

Marissa $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Santa Monica, CA

Hi families! I’m Marissa, a full-time nanny with 10 years of experience caring for children from infancy through middle school. I’m currently based in Marina del Rey and available to start immediately. I’m open to both part-time and full-time roles. I’m playful, creative, and routine-oriented. I love planning engaging days filled with park outings, library visits, crafts, and learning activities to support development. I also have experience working with neurodiverse children and providing homeschooling support. I enjoy adapting my approach to each child’s individual needs. I’m CPR/First Aid certified, fully vaccinated, and comfortable with pets, driving, cooking, and light household tasks. I’ve worked in quite a few long-term nanny roles (including a four-year placement) and prioritize creating a safe, loving, and dependable environment where children can thrive. I’d love to connect with families looking for a reliable, experienced nanny who brings warmth and consistency to their home!

"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."
