Mili $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Mili, a 28-year-old nanny from Argentina living in Los Angeles. I have over two years of experience caring for infants and young children, including babies as young as 3 months old. I genuinely love working with little ones and creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where they can thrive. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, fully vaccinated, and have excellent local references available upon request. I’m experienced with feeding (including bottles and baby-led weaning), diaper changes, naps, tummy time, developmental activities, baby laundry, bottle washing and sterilizing, and keeping children’s spaces clean and organized. Families describe me as warm, patient, reliable, and proactive. I understand the importance of following each family’s routine while providing attentive, loving care. I’m comfortable around pets and happy to help with light housekeeping related to the children. I’m looking forward to becoming a trusted part of a family’s support system and helping their little one grow in a happy and caring environment.

Hi, I’m Hope! I’m a professional career nanny and family assistant with over 10 years of experience providing attentive, reliable care for children ages 2 months to 14 years, including infants, toddlers, twins, and school-age children. I bring a thoughtful, proactive approach to childcare and understand how much trust families place in the person caring for their children and home. My experience includes supporting developmental milestones such as baby-led weaning, early language development, and potty training; planning enriching outings and age-appropriate activities; coordinating playdates, classes, and after-school schedules; assisting with homework; and maintaining consistent routines at home and while traveling. Beyond childcare, I’m experienced in meal preparation, children’s laundry, errands, household organization, light housekeeping, and keeping busy family schedules running smoothly. I’m a reliable driver with a clean record, comfortable caring for pets, and a former swim instructor and lifeguard with a strong background in water safety. Families describe me as warm, calm, dependable, flexible, and highly communicative. I’m creative and engaged with children while also being organized, discreet, and respectful of each family’s parenting style and household. I take pride in anticipating needs, solving problems, and becoming a trusted, long-term part of the families I support. I’m currently seeking a full-time nanny or nanny/family assistant position with a Los Angeles family- as well as part-time/ temporary work while I search for the perfect match! Resume and excellent references are available upon request.

Shilpa $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Shilpa, I am 24 and a fine arts student at Otis College of Art and Design. I am hoping to eventually use my degree to work as an art teacher for elementary or middle schoolers! My love of working with children began as baby-sitting jobs throughout my teenage years and only grew once I worked from 2023-the summer of 2025 as an early childhood educator. I am originally from Seattle, and moved down to Los Angeles this year in July. For the past two years (up until my move), I worked as a floating teacher at Epiphany Early Learning Preschool, working with children aged 18 months to 5 years old. Although I loved all the age groups I worked with, I especially loved working with children aged 2-3. I find caring for and helping children grow to be one of the most rewarding experiences, and I am very passionate about building strong relationships with kids as well as their families. I also worked as an art teacher at Epiphany, and I really enjoy coming up with creative activities that are engaging and appropriate for the age of children I am working with! It would be such a privilege to get to know your children as well as your family! I am a serious cat lover as well and would be happy to provide pet care for cats, however I am allergic to dogs. Due to my school schedule I am looking to provide caregiving in the evenings and late afternoons!

"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."
