Sally $45 per hour for 1 child

For 15 years, I had the privilege of serving one wonderful family in a multi-faceted role as a full-time nanny, private chef, family assistant, personal assistant, and house manager. I helped raise two children, one of whom is on the the autism spectrum, working closely with teachers, behavioral therapists, and psychiatrists to help ensure consistency and the best possible support. My approach to children centers on understanding each child's individuality, creating a safe, respectful, and encouraging environment. Beyond childcare, I take pride in running an organized and welcoming household, managing everything from meal planning and private chef services to scheduling, errands, and anticipating the day-to-day needs of a busy family. Known for my warmth, creativity, and strong work ethic, I aim to become a trusted extension of any family I serve, someone parents can rely on and children can feel comfortable with. I'd be honored to bring that same dedication and compassion to your family.

Mariele $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I have over 10 years of experience helping single parents to busy high profile households with 4 kids. Their ages ranges from new borns to 13! I’m most comfortable caring for children 2 and up. Experience: - 4 years as an executive assistant - 8 years + as personal assistant - 14 years of nanny and babysitting - pet care + school pick up and drop off - happy to run errands and schedule activities as well. I’m looking for part time work until the end of the school year or provide any on call babysitter needs :) I love the family I’m working for now but they are sorting out their next move since they lost their home from the fires.

Hi! My name is Paula, and I’m a psychologist in my home country and a bilingual (English/Spanish) caregiver with over 8 years of experience supporting families here in Los Angeles. I have cared for newborns, babies, infants, toddlers, and older children, and I truly love helping little ones learn, grow, and thrive in a safe, loving, and nurturing environment. As a mother, I combine my professional background with real-life parenting experience to provide attentive, individualized care. I enjoy supporting children’s development through tummy time, sensory play, language stimulation, reading, outdoor activities, creative play, introducing solids, and maintaining healthy feeding, sleep, and daily routines. I have American Heart Association Pediatric CPR & First Aid training, a reliable car, a clean California driver’s license, and excellent references, which I’d be happy to share. Families describe me as calm, dependable, patient, and deeply committed. I believe in building trusting relationships with both parents and children while respecting each family’s routines and parenting style. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I would love the opportunity to support your family and care for your little one!

"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."
