Booked by 2 families in Santa Monica, CA

Hi, I’m Carla! I’m a caring and dependable nanny with over 10 years of experience working with infants, toddlers, and young children in both daycare and private home settings. I truly enjoy creating a safe, nurturing, and structured environment where children can learn, grow, and feel comfortable. I love incorporating creative activities like singing, dancing, reading, and play-based learning into daily routines to support early development while keeping things fun and engaging. I’m patient, attentive, and always mindful of each child’s unique needs and personality. I have experience working closely with private families, maintaining clear communication, respecting household routines, and providing reliable, consistent care. I’m known for being trustworthy, organized, and proactive, and I take pride in building strong relationships with both children and parents. My goal is always to support families by creating a positive, safe, and well-balanced environment where children feel happy and cared for every day. I’d love to connect and see if I’d be a great fit for your family!

Amanda $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I'm Amanda, I'm 27, I have my own car, and I've been babysitting/nannying since I was a young teenager. I've done school drop offs and pick-ups, packing lunches, playtime at parks and/or indoors, etc. I've had the pleasure of nannying for families with various kids' ages, ranging from 0-10, and I have multiple years of experience caring for and teaching kids with my background in church. I also write music, so I like to bring that creativity to dance parties, making up little songs for tasks, etc.

Rochelle $25 per hour for 1 child

Reliable, Friendly & Caring Caregiver Hi! I’m Rachel, a reliable, friendly, and ethical caregiver with experience caring for children of different ages, from young children to teenagers. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment where they feel comfortable and supported. I have babysitting experience with both younger children and teens, as well as experience working as a tutor and mentor for high-school students through an Early Academic Outreach Program operated by the State of California. I enjoy helping children with homework and keeping them engaged through fun, age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, games, reading, and creative projects. I also have experience working with adults with developmental disabilities through Jewish Family Service, including individuals with dementia and adults who were mobile or used wheelchairs. This experience has strengthened my patience, compassion, attentiveness, and ability to adapt to each person's individual needs. I’m happy to help with light cooking, light housekeeping, errands, school pickups, appointments, and transportation to after-school activities. I’m responsible about maintaining routines and making sure children are safe, comfortable, and having a good time. I’m a Los Angeles native who grew up here, so I’m very familiar with Los Angeles and its many neighborhoods. I’m dependable, responsible, organized, and take the trust families place in me very seriously. I’d love the opportunity to provide your family with dependable, caring support and give parents peace of mind while they’re away.

"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."
