Booked by 4 families in Sherman Oaks, CA

Hello,  I have worked as a helping hand for busy parents in prioritizing their kid's needs by showing them compassion and patience. Through my guidance, I can show them to be gentle and to help encourage them to become the best they can be. I also speak English, and Spanish and am currently learning a new language, Italian. In the course of being a nanny, I have taught children to speak Spanish.    I have five years of babysitting experience, but I have more than that. Growing up with siblings, I was my mother’s helper, and I could manage caring for multiple children at once. I ensure they’re engaged in exciting, safe, and educational activities.    My experiences and personal skills make me an ideal candidate for your family. I hope to hear from you soon.    Best Regards, Katie

Airicka $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi Families, My name is Airicka, and I’m excited to introduce myself! I’m new to Los Angeles and looking forward to building meaningful connections within the community. My husband is currently pursuing his college basketball career, and while we’re here, I’m focused on continuing my education in real estate school and staying productive in a positive way. I’m looking to support families who need a reliable, trustworthy, and caring sitter. I genuinely enjoy being around children and creating a safe, fun, and structured environment where they feel comfortable and supported. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing light meals, bedtime routines, or planning engaging activities, I’m attentive and patient with every child I care for. Being in school has strengthened my time management, responsibility, and organizational skills. I take pride in being dependable, communicative, and respectful of each family’s routines and parenting style. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your children with someone, and I strive to provide that peace of mind. I’m excited to become a trusted resource for families here in Los Angeles and would love the opportunity to connect with you! Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to speaking with you soon. ❤️❤️

Kaitlyn 1 review
$26 per hour for 1 child

I have 4 years of experience working with children, starting out leading reading programs at a local library, which naturally grew into private nannying for families. That background helped me deeply understand household dynamics, respect family boundaries, and manage personalized routines seamlessly. Alongside my hands-on experience, I have completed coursework in Early Childhood Education, giving me a solid understanding of child development, milestone progression, and positive behavior management. I am CPR/AED certified and Live Scan background-checked, ensuring safety and peace of mind for every family I work with. In my current role as an elementary after-school lead teacher, I design and run creative art, hands-on STEM, culinary projects, and outdoor sports. Managing up to 40 kids at a time has made me exceptionally confident in maintaining structure, keeping routines on track, and enforcing household rules. I am also always happy to assist with homework help, healthy snack and meal prep, and light pickup after activities. While I am warm, approachable, and fun, I am always mature, consistent, and focused on keeping children safe, accountable, and engaged. I am also a huge animal lover , completely pet-friendly!

“We are so lucky to have found Kaitlyn on UrbanSitter. She has been absolutely wonderful with our two children, Sloane and Hudson. Both of them can naturally be quite shy, but Kaitlyn is incredibly welcoming and caring with such a warm heart. She knew exactly how to connect with them, which has really helped them come out of their shells and build their everyday confidence. They absolutely adore her and always look forward to seeing her. We highly recommend Kaitlyn to any family looking for a genuinely nurturing nanny!”

"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."
