I am patient, creative, loving, empathetic, warm, punctual, dependable, responsible, positive, welcoming and enjoy spending time with curious children. I enjoy reading with your child, playing games, arts and crafts, outdoor activities, and preparing a healthy meal or snacks. Personally I enjoy museums, Zumba, pickleball, art shows, outdoor festivals, farmers markets, baking, and golf. I will care for your child as if they were my own. My background experience was supporting my daughter who graduated with a computer science degree. I supported her in many activities which included chess, tennis player, robotic competition, avid reader, golfing, running, swimming, singing, et al. My daughter attended to a prestigious private high school in Los Angeles. I love children and seniors. I love and respect the wisdom of seniors. I enjoy the curiosity of a child and allowing them to explore their surroundings.

Hi there! My name is Aeliscia and I’m an experienced, reliable, and caring nanny based in the valley, currently available for new opportunities. I’m CPR certified, have a clean driving record, and bring over 10 years of babysitting experience, including 5 years as a nanny/household assistant! As the oldest sibling to three younger brothers (ages 5, 8, and 13), I’ve been helping raise kids practically my whole life—and I absolutely love it! I enjoy nannying because I get to build meaningful connections with kids and create a fun, safe, and supportive environment where they can grow and thrive. In my free time, I love to spend time outdoors, be active, and bake desserts! I’m happy to answer any questions you may have. Looking forward to connecting with you!

“Totally on time! Amazing and kind and took my child to the park!! Was super professional and would love love to have her again! Just wanted to re review her because we absolutely adore her. She’s always shown up, and she’s shown up about ten times now so she’s always making the appointments- I know that she goes above and beyond and is one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. I absolutely love it and 1000% trust her when she’s with my child. If you don’t know if you should hire her- think again. She’s the one you want. ”

Anna $33 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Santa Monica, CA

Hi! I'm Anna and I love children! I love children so much because they are the most brilliant, hilarious, honest, authentic human beings. It is an honor to be entrusted with supporting them as they learn how to navigate this complex world. I taught pre-school at Play Mountain Place ( a Play School in LA since 1949) for four years. After which, I worked as a Nanny for 15 years. I worked with one family with two daughters ( ages 2 and 5 at start date) for four years, followed by a family with one daughter ( age 1 at start date) for six years. I most recent worked with a family with 5 year old triplets, for 5 years ( I met them on this site!) I have 12 units of Early Childhood Education course work. I also have a Yoga Teacher Certification with a specialty in yoga with children and Pre-Natal Yoga. My childcare philosophy is relationship driven. I believe in forging a strong connection with mutual respect and using Non-Violent Communication to resolve any conflicts. I love child led activities. I believe in play and natural consequences as learning tools. I use limits and balancing individual needs with group/family needs rather than discipline. I am imaginative, yet practical. Free and fair. I would love to meet you and your family!

Tiffany 1 review
$27 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Tiffany, I’m currently a college student studying Health Science. I offer babysitting, nannying and pet care services. I’ve been working with children for over 11 years, including experience as a daycare assistant and babysitting kids of all ages(Newborns - Teenagers). I truly love creating a safe, nurturing, warm, and fun environment where kids can learn, grow, and just be themselves. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I also have experience caring for children with special needs, including autism, aspergers and ADHD. I’m patient, adaptable, and always try to meet each child’s individual needs. I speak Korean fluently and have some knowledge of Spanish and Japanese, which helps me connect with a variety of families. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, creative activities like crocheting and pottery, and music (I play bass guitar!). I love incorporating crafts, outdoor time, and fun learning activities into my childcare style. I’m happy to help with things like playtime, schedule building, homework, light housekeeping/meal prep, and keeping routines on track. If you have pets I also don't mind pets of any species and size. I became a caregiver because I genuinely enjoy supporting children’s development and being a positive, reliable presence in their lives. Being told "You're the BEST babysitter/nanny ever" brings me so much joy, so I strive to achieve that with every family. I look foward to hearing from you and your family!

“Tiffany has been caring for my daughter since she was born. As a premature baby, she required extra attention, and Tiffany was incredibly attentive and quick to learn all of Kaylee's unique needs. Over the years, she's continued to support her growth and development. Kaylee is now 12, and Tiffany has been a consistent, trusted presence in her life.”

"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."
