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!

Hi! I'm Destiny! I've been babysitting and nannying for 11 years and have experience with overnights, full-time and part-time care, traveling, nanny pods, occasional babysitting, and watching over multiples (twins/ triplets) :) I have experience caring for all ages, from newborns to 15 years old, with the majority of my experience focused on newborns through 6-year-olds. This past year, I worked as a long-term Kindergarten substitute, and I'm currently working toward my teaching credential and Master's in Education. I enjoy working with children and getting to know their little personalities while building genuine, trusting connections. I'm patient, attentive, reliable, and responsible, while still being energetic and engaging. I love spending time outdoors, doing crafts, visiting museums, going on bike rides, and creating opportunities for kids to learn, have fun and just be kids. There’s no better feeling than hearing “you’re the best babysitter ever.” Looking forward to connecting with your family!
“Destiny immediately and naturally connected with all 3 of my kids ages 8-3, boys and girls. She jumped right in helping out with everything they needed while also being super fun with them. Our 8 yr old girl was sad when she was leaving and asked when she’d be back! Highly recommend ”

“For the last 18 months, Evelyn has been an incredibly important part of our family, and it is hard to imagine our daughter's early years without her.As our daughter prepares to start school shortly after her second birthday, we find ourselves reflecting on just how much Evelyn has contributed to her growth, happiness, and development. Simply put, we could not have asked for a better nanny.From day one, our daughter (Baby A) absolutely adored Evelyn. She warmed to her immediately, and watching their bond develop has been one of the greatest joys of the past year and a half. Evelyn brings a special combination of warmth, confidence, creativity, wisdom, and pure joy that children naturally gravitate toward. What makes Evelyn so exceptional is that she truly understands children.One of the most impactful things she did was teach Baby A sign language before she could talk. The difference was remarkable. Our daughter was able to communicate her needs, feelings, and thoughts long before she had words, which dramatically reduced frustration and gave her an incredible sense of confidence. We now tell every parent we know that babies should learn sign language, and we have Evelyn to thank for showing us firsthand how transformative it can be.She also guided us through countless milestones and transitions. When Evelyn started, our daughter strongly disliked tummy time. Evelyn somehow knew exactly how to make it fun and engaging. Later, she helped us navigate getting off the bottle, potty training, and all the other developmental transitions that come with raising a toddler. She always approached challenges with patience, creativity, and a deep understanding of child development. Evelyn is wonderfully whimsical in a way that feels straight out of a storybook. She would create sock puppets out of nowhere, invent water-play activities, dream up art projects, and find creative ways to turn ordinary days into adventures. Her artistic talent is extraordinary, and she brought so much imagination and wonder into our daughter's life. As parents, one of the things we appreciated most was how communicative and trustworthy she was. Evelyn truly partnered with us. She listened carefully to our hopes and preferences for our daughter and always respected them. We never had to worry about what our daughter was eating, what activities she was participating in, or whether our wishes were being followed. We trusted her completely. The McKinney Family,”
• Bachelor’s in Sociology with a minor in Child Development • Master’s in Education in progress • Certified child care provider in the state of California includes: yearly CPR certification, vaccinations, trust line certified, and more! I believe my experience aligns well with what you’re looking for because I’m a very compassionate and self motivated individual. My family has a licensed childcare center. The way we’ve seen our mother teach, guide, support, and encourage little ones is definitely the reason my sisters and I began our journey toward working with children and the root to our ongoing career paths. When time permits I supervise the children and assistants. As well as connect with parents and keep them up to date. Moreover, I worked at an elementary school in Hermosa Beach and at behavioral health network as a Behavior Technician. In regards to nannying I have experience all around - overnight stays, date nights, part time position, and full time position ( I was with my previous family for two years:) Mothers helper: I come in as an extra set of hands for a couple of hours to take care of typical household needs. Which includes laundry, tidying, organizing, and light cleaning. I am open to running errands/ grocery shopping - gas fee add on. This does not include childcare coverage, but can for an increase hourly rate. Nanny work: I enjoy spending time with children (art, reading, outdoor play, etc.) and helping them get out of their comfort zone. When it comes to activities with the child/children it really depends on what you’re open to as the parent. If I’m given a budget we could go to the zoo, aquarium, etc. Of course there’s always the park, library, and playing at home. I’m open to using my car when needed (with gas reimbursement:). Overall, I always keep in mind on what’s in the best interest for the child (of course, with the input of the parents). Note: Regardless of the type of booking I want to emphases that my job is to focus on the well being and development of your child/ children. When time permits I don’t mind unloading/ loading dishwasher, etc. I am in no means a professional cook or cleaner. *I have experience house- sitting and dog sitting as well! * rates vary on holiday bookings * If this is something that works for you I look forward on connecting further. Respectfully, Susana
“Susana was wonderful! She was reliable, kind, and easy to communicate with, and I felt completely comfortable having her help with our family. She was responsible, professional, and great with the girls. We really appreciated her help and would absolutely recommend her to other families.”

"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."
Michelle R., mom of two
"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."
Milena L., mom of two
"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."
Heather B., mom of two
