Victoria 3 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! I am a dedicated and nurturing nanny with over 5 years of experience supporting families and caring for children from newborns to 10 years old. Originally from Brazil, I came to the U.S. as an au pair in 2021 and have worked consistently with the same family since then. I am passionate about early childhood development, creating engaging activities, and fostering safe, supportive environments for children.

“Victoria is incredibly talented, professional, and incredibly affectionate with children! We highly recommend her services. She is passionate about her work, and we are grateful that our children have Vic’s unwavering support.”

Hello, I'm Cami! I’ve been working with kids since high school through babysitting and tutoring, and for the past three years I’ve also worked as a tennis coach for children. I love caregiving because I enjoy getting to know kids, supporting their interests, and creating a safe, fun environment for them.

Hi - My name is Brittany I've been a nanny for 12 years and I'm bilingual in Spanish and English. I've also been a teacher in a Montessori preschool from ages 2-6 years old. I was enrolled for two years at Santa Monica City College, and LACC took 4 child development classes and have 12 units in child development. I’ve always been drawn to working with and learning about development of children of all ages. I started by watching my 3 younger siblings and then moved on to babysitting children family friends and now I've been a nanny for many families. The Montessori preschool has allowed me to better understand children, increase my ability to engage and play with children, and manage anywhere from 1-18 children at once. I am very enthusiastic, playful, can remain calm in stressful situations, and as compassionate as can be. If it’s nice out, I love to go for walks, visit a local park, or play in your backyard! If the day requires us to stay inside I enjoy playing games of all sorts and doing arts and crafts. I also have a clean driving record and can take the child to storytimes, museums, farmers markets, or other activities as long as I'm provided with a car seat and parents are comfortable with me taking their child to places. I love to keep and open and honest communication with parents and when I'm out with their child I like to keep a group chat with parents to share pictures and videos to involve parents in what we are doing. Please let me know if you have any questions and I can’t wait to meet your family! I have great references and if needed message me and I can message you back with all the references I have, CPR certification and resume. I also have a clean background check and motor vehicle check.

Rochelle $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there, this is Rochelle! Everyday is an adventure with children. I love their curiosity, their affection, and desire to absorb learning new things and experiences! I am fantastic with children because I've been taking care of them my whole life! From helping take care of my baby sister while she grew up, to babysitting countless families in my community over the years! Additionally, I have childcare experience as a legal, professional employee in a high-end summer camp and after-school programs, where the standards of the families in that community were very high. I surpassed those standards, gaining private babysitting jobs with those families, based on the mutual adoration of their children and myself. I consider myself responsible enough to multitask but also keeping it fun for the kids, as I really do enjoy connecting with them! I consider myself to be trustworthy and reliable and am confident that past employers would agree. I always make sure to ask a new family about allergies, etc...anything important relating to their children!

Hi! I recently moved back to Los Angeles from Texas and am looking to connect with some wonderful families! I’ve been nannying for the past 7 years and have experience caring for kids of all ages. I’m kind, easy-going, creative, and love keeping kids engaged—whether that’s playing outside, going for walks, helping with homework, or coming up with fun crafts and activities. I’m currently looking for part-time and occasional babysitting opportunities, including date nights and weekend help. My schedule is pretty flexible while I’m still in school and growing my career in the creative arts, so I’m happy to work around different schedules and needs. Looking forward to meeting you and your family 🌹

“Super kind and patient with my 8 months old ”

"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."
