Booked by 2 families in Sherman Oaks, CA

Hi, I'm Malia! I am 30 years old and have been working in childcare since 2011. I spent the last 3 years as a nanny for a family caring for the children from 4 months-3 years old. Before that, I spent 5 years working as a substitute teacher at an early childhood education center where I worked with infants through Pre-K classes. I graduated from Portland State University in 2019. I love to go on walks, explore parks & neighborhoods, dance, sing, play guitar, read, and bake. Creativity and mindfulness are very important to me. I am hoping to share my care and optimism with your children and whole family. I am currently available for occasional sitting as well as flexible week to week schedules.

Hello, My name is Genevieve and I am a graduate from UCSB. I have been working as a babysitter now for over 9 years and have several families for whom I regularly provide care. I have set bedtime routines, helped with meal prep, and assisted with homework in my previous roles. I've worked with infants to 12-year-olds, including gifted and neurodiverse children. I pride myself on creating engaging and educational lessons. I also prioritize spending plenty of time outdoors. With my previous coursework in child development and psychology, I am confident in my ability to be an asset to your family. I'm excited to hear from you and discuss your family dynamics and expectations further! Warmest Regards, Genevieve

I’ve been surrounded by children my entire life and have been caring for them since I was 12 years old. Whether it’s children, pets, or the elderly, caregiving is truly my calling. I’ve been working as a CNA for nearly two years now and absolutely love what I do. I’m a naturally creative, patient, and loving person, and I always bring those qualities into the care I provide.

Booked by 3 families in Sherman Oaks, CA

Hi, my name is Sony and I love children. I moved out to LA from NY for acting. I’m offering child care, dog care, senior care, running errands and household services. I’ve worked with kids of all ages from 1 yrs old and older. Currently babysit for a few families. I’ve helped raise all of my little cousins and nieces (twins) from birth until they were teenagers. I would feed them, play with them, drop off/pick up from school, and put them to sleep. I started doing this when I was 10 yrs old. At 13 yrs old I started babysitting the neighbors kids that were 1 and 3 yrs old. I also worked at a daycare in NY taking care of 1 to 2.5 year olds. I was a nanny for a family in Los Angeles that had 2 kids that were 4 and 7. I made them dinner, gave them baths, cleaned up after them and put them to sleep. Children naturally love me. I’m very personable, empathetic, compassionate and fun. I am comfortable with senior care and dog care. I’ve taken care of my grandparents and friends of family that were seniors. I’ve house and dog sat for friends and family as well. I can also work as a household assistant. I’m open to doing other tasks as well since I have personal assistant experience.

“We love Sony! She was with our family consistently for 1.5 years, until our girls started school full time. She is timely, communicative, creative, and trustworthy. There is no one my girls like to ply with more.”

"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."
