Booked by 3 families in Santa Monica, CA

Nanny in West Los Angeles with 11 years of professional childcare experience, including live in and travel nanny positions. I have worked with children of all ages, including disabled nonverbal children and high spirited, sensitive children who need extra patience and support. As a mother to a 19 month old, I understand both the professional and personal side of caring for children. I am CPR certified and have a strong understanding of baby and toddler development. I am patient, dependable, and organized. I enjoy creating structure and routines that help children thrive, and I can help families establish routines when needed. I am familiar with age appropriate schedules, sleep foundations, and daily routines that support healthy development. Most importantly, I genuinely love working with children and helping families make their day to day lives a little easier. I can't wait to connect with your family and learn how I can help!

“Asia has been wonderful with my baby girl. She is moving around with my 9 month old, letting her crawl around and explore while she is right there. She is able to get my daughter to nap, which isn’t always easy. Happy for her help.”

Hello! My name is Cameron. I moved out here from Boston a few years ago and am excited to meet your family! Previously, I studied music therapy at Berklee College of Music before coming here to pursue music. I am offering child care, senior care, and pet care. During my music therapy studies, I focused on helping children with communication and social skills, and seniors with cognitive ability and memory care. I’m passionate about helping people of all ages express themselves and learn. I’ve been babysitting for various families in my hometown since my early teens, and love spending time with children. My responsibilities included driving kids to and from school, performing household duties, tutoring (any subject but math 😅), crafts, and music lessons. I have also taken care of my grandparents and great grandparents and feel very comfortable around seniors. Before she passed, I loved playing jazz songs for my great grandma and listening to stories from her past. I also have a dog and multiple cats, and would be happy to help you with any pet related needs. Please reach out if you feel that I would be a good fit for your family. I’m wishing you luck on your hunt for a caregiver!

“My 5 year old son had a great time playing with Cameron! Lots of fun imaginative play. ”

"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."
