I am seeking employment as a Nanny because I love to help care and nurture your child with a routine of endless patience, fun, games, discipline, basically well rounded day that will keep your child busy but not bored. I am a very responsible, hard working, efficient, multitasking, caring person who just loves assisting people with everyday life. I make a point of making sure that everyone that is around me is taken care of that they are happy. I’m a mother of four adult children and grandmother to two boys. I was a caregiver for about four years to a wonderful family and switched to Nanny for the past four years. I have such great memories with them but my time with them ran its course. The mother decided to stay home with the boys and that’s why I’m looking forward to my new endeavor with a new future family.

“I'm happy to recommend my mom, who I've always known to be wonderful with children. I've seen firsthand how naturally caring and attentive she is with my little nephews, and it's clear how much she genuinely enjoys spending time with kids. The family she previously cared for always spoke so fondly of her, and from everything my mom shared, it was clear she had built a sweet bond with the children. It was such a special bond that the parents even made a custom book for the kids to remember her by. She has a very nurturing personality, and truly cares about the kids in her care. I don't have children of my own, but my cat Booger is the closest thing I have to a child, and my mom is incredibly sweet and loving with him too. Whenever we go away for a couple of days, she goes above and beyond to follow my very detailed instructions and make sure he's well cared for. I highly recommend her to any family looking for someone loving, dependable and experienced.”

Booked by 1 family in Sherman Oaks, CA

Hi! I'm Anna and I love children! I love children so much because they are the most brilliant, hilarious, honest, authentic human beings. It is an honor to be entrusted with supporting them as they learn how to navigate this complex world. I taught pre-school at Play Mountain Place ( a Play School in LA since 1949) for four years. After which, I worked as a Nanny for 15 years. I worked with one family with two daughters ( ages 2 and 5 at start date) for four years, followed by a family with one daughter ( age 1 at start date) for six years. I most recent worked with a family with 5 year old triplets, for 5 years ( I met them on this site!) I have 12 units of Early Childhood Education course work. I also have a Yoga Teacher Certification with a specialty in yoga with children and Pre-Natal Yoga. My childcare philosophy is relationship driven. I believe in forging a strong connection with mutual respect and using Non-Violent Communication to resolve any conflicts. I love child led activities. I believe in play and natural consequences as learning tools. I use limits and balancing individual needs with group/family needs rather than discipline. I am imaginative, yet practical. Free and fair. I would love to meet you and your family!

Melody $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Sherman Oaks, CA

Hello, My name is Melody, and I am a native Santa Monican, and I was born at UCLA Medical Center. I am the baby of five, and I looked after my beautiful, beloved Mom with pleasure and honor in her later years, and it was a privilege to do so. She was such a caring, loving and awesome Mom, and I have all of her great traits of honesty, integrity, loyalty, compassion, to name a few. I am also a loving, compassionate, empathetic, caring being who has discovered what my mission is in this lifetime, and I want to express this in all ways to live up to my potential. Her transition has awakened this realization in me. Spreading all of this joy, especially to our elder population, would give me much satisfaction while ensuring that all their needs are provided for and making their lives smoother and more enjoyable. Thank you in advance for allowing me to do so.

Booked by 1 family in Sherman Oaks, CA

I am a dedicated caregiver with over 3-5 years of experience supporting seniors, children, and pets. My background includes early childhood ed, but my true strength lies in my patient, proactive personality. Whether I’m managing household tasks, assisting with mobility, or organizing educational activities for kids, I treat every family like my own. I’m also a great cook and a calm problem-solver in busy environments." Am also a. student not having many kiddos to babysit so decided to try this app to pay for my school expenses :)

“She’s great!”

"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."
