Booked by 6 families in Sherman Oaks, CA

Hi! My name is Nathany, and I’m originally from Brazil. I’ve been working as a nanny and babysitter in Los Angeles, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and supporting families. I have experience caring for children of different ages, from babies and toddlers to school age kids. I’m comfortable with playtime, meals, diaper changes, bedtime routines, and keeping kids engaged with fun and creative activities. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks related to the children. Families describe me as patient, responsible, organized, and dependable. I understand how important it’s to trust the person caring for your children, and I always do my best to create a safe, caring, and positive environment. I’m looking for a long-term family, but I’m also available for occasional babysitting. I look forward to meeting new families and becoming someone both parents and kids feel comfortable with!

“Very professional, was handling a one year old that haven’t had a babysitter before really well. ”

Hi, I’m Rosa! I am an experienced, multi-certified caregiver offering dedicated support for children, pets, and seniors. I understand how important reliable care is. At the moment I am only available for part time or one day jobs. Child Care: I’ve been babysitting since I was 15, working with all ages from newborns to tweens. I’m happy to help with "new mommy" tasks, tummy time, school transport, and creative activities like arts and crafts. Pet & House Sitting: I’ve provided pet and home care since I was 18. Whether it’s long walks, park play, feeding, or bathing, your furry friends are in great hands. I also provide light housekeeping to keep your home running smoothly. Senior Care: Having cared for my own grandfather, I am comfortable assisting seniors with meal prep, driving to appointments, and running errands. I’m also a great Bingo partner!

“Rosa was a fantastic sitter for our toddler. She was prompt,communicative and flexible with last minute change in plans. ”

Literary and Play Focused Nanny Christina is an Infant Development Specialist and Caregiver Educator with over a decade of experience supporting infants and toddlers through play-based, literacy-integrated, child-led care. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Child and Adolescent Development and is credentialed by the International Nanny Association, certified as a Newborn & Infant Care Specialist by the U.S. Nanny Association, and trained as an Integrated Infant Development Consultant. Her approach is grounded in children’s cues and relationships and guided by early brain science and close observation, supporting regulation within the natural flow of care. Because reading felt challenging to her as a child, Christina is passionate about making early literacy feel safe and relational, integrating it into play and daily routines rather than treating it as a performance skill. She specializes in playroom cultivation and learning environment design that supports curiosity and emerging developmental patterns. Seeking Full-Time W/-2 Payroll Position

Hi, moms and dads, my name is Tanielle and I am a kindergarten teacher. I have several years of experience, from taking care of newborns overnight up until middle aged kids. I absolutely love babysitting because of the relationship I form with the children and their families-it fills me up. I am a fun, loving, compassionate and creative person. I also enjoy cooking, baking, spending time outside, traveling but also enjoy my own company. I am CPR qualified, fully vaccinated and boosted. I have also completed a background check. I am flexible with open availability. Thanks for taking the time to get to know me-hope to meet you soon! *I require a minimum of 4 hours* *FYI regardless if parents return earlier than booked time, I’m still expecting to be compensated all the hours initially agreed upon*

“Wonderful. Did such a good job with the boys. Took notes and sent photos to me while at work. Was kind to stay late as I ran late at work. ”

Booked by 113 families in Sherman Oaks, CA

Hi there! I’ve worked with kids for more than 14 years and have cared for little ones of all ages, from newborns to teens, and have plenty of experience working with multiple kids at once. I love creating a space where kids feel safe and understood. I’m patient, calm, and genuinely enjoy meeting new families. Also always happy to help out with pets too if needed! A bit more about me: I’m originally from the east coast but have spent the last 6 years between California and Washington :) When I’m not babysitting, I work with children, teens, and families in a therapeutic setting as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist/Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate. I have been practicing for over 2 years and hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University. My work in child and family therapy helps me connect especially well with kids who are sensitive, shy, or nervous about being away from their parents. Babysitting is something I’ve kept doing over the years simply because I love it and it gives me a chance to connect with kiddos outside of the therapy room! Scheduling: I have a flexible schedule and reliable transportation. I’m available for date nights, evenings, weekends, and overnights, and sometimes during the weekdays. I also do my best to help out with last minute requests, so don’t hesitate to ask! If you have any questions at all, feel free to reach out. I’d love to set up a time to talk and see if I’m a good fit for your family! :)

“Leada was wonderful with our 10 month old, he had a great time with her. She is a great communicator and kept us well updated.”

"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."
