• Bachelor’s in Sociology with a minor in Child Development • Master’s in Education in progress • Certified child care provider in the state of California includes: yearly CPR certification, vaccinations, trust line certified, and more! I believe my experience aligns well with what you’re looking for because I’m a very compassionate and self motivated individual. My family has a licensed childcare center. The way we’ve seen our mother teach, guide, support, and encourage little ones is definitely the reason my sisters and I began our journey toward working with children and the root to our ongoing career paths. When time permits I supervise the children and assistants. As well as connect with parents and keep them up to date. Moreover, I worked at an elementary school in Hermosa Beach and at behavioral health network as a Behavior Technician. In regards to nannying I have experience all around - overnight stays, date nights, part time position, and full time position ( I was with my previous family for two years:) Mothers helper: I come in as an extra set of hands for a couple of hours to take care of typical household needs. Which includes laundry, tidying, organizing, and light cleaning. I am open to running errands/ grocery shopping - gas fee add on. This does not include childcare coverage, but can for an increase hourly rate. Nanny work: I enjoy spending time with children (art, reading, outdoor play, etc.) and helping them get out of their comfort zone. When it comes to activities with the child/children it really depends on what you’re open to as the parent. If I’m given a budget we could go to the zoo, aquarium, etc. Of course there’s always the park, library, and playing at home. I’m open to using my car when needed (with gas reimbursement:). Overall, I always keep in mind on what’s in the best interest for the child (of course, with the input of the parents). Note: Regardless of the type of booking I want to emphases that my job is to focus on the well being and development of your child/ children. When time permits I don’t mind unloading/ loading dishwasher, etc. I am in no means a professional cook or cleaner. *I have experience house- sitting and dog sitting as well! * rates vary on holiday bookings * If this is something that works for you I look forward on connecting further. Respectfully, Susana

“Susana was wonderful! She was reliable, kind, and easy to communicate with, and I felt completely comfortable having her help with our family. She was responsible, professional, and great with the girls. We really appreciated her help and would absolutely recommend her to other families.”

Hi! I’m Lesley. I’ve cared for children of different ages over the years and have been lucky to build relationships with several wonderful families, including families who have invited me back regularly. I really enjoy getting to know each child’s personality and helping them feel comfortable, happy, and safe while their parents are away. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I’m happy to follow the routines that work best for your family. Depending on your child’s interests, we might spend our time playing games, making crafts, reading, getting outside, or working on homework. I’m also comfortable helping with meals, bedtime, and other daily routines. Alongside babysitting, I’ve worked professionally in business and operations for several years. That experience has made me very organized, communicative, and comfortable handling unexpected situations calmly—but when I’m with children, my focus is always on making sure they feel cared for and have a good time. A little more about me: I love traveling, staying active, exploring Los Angeles, and spending time at home with my two cats. I’m an animal lover and am very comfortable in homes with cats or dogs. I know how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your children, and I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

I’m a university student at USC who genuinely loves working with children and supporting families. I’ve spent most of my life volunteering and working in programs that care for kids, and those experiences have shaped my patience, kindness, and understanding. I believe every child deserves a safe, fun, and encouraging environment where they feel happy to learn and grow. I’m responsible, positive, and attentive, and I enjoy creating activities, helping with routines, and making sure kids feel supported and cared for. I also drive, so I’m happy to help with pickups, activities, or errands when needed. Families often describe me as dependable, warm, and someone who brings a calm and uplifting energy. I truly enjoy building meaningful connections with children and being someone families can trust and rely on.

Hi my name is Mariah and I am a dancer/performing artist originally from Philadelphia, PA. I've been teaching dance to children ages 2-18 for about 10 years and was often the go-to family babysitter before moving to LA. I started working through Urban Sitter about 8 years ago as a nanny,babysitter, and tutor and have experience with all ages (infants-teenagers). I absolutely love working with children and am grateful for every opportunity I get to do so. With every job it is always my goal to provide a creative, active, safe and fun environment. I'm a natural performer/entertainer and children are honestly my favorite audience 🤗 ... Aside from dancing I love playing sports, reading, outdoor adventuring and fashion.

Hi families, I’m Sandy, a professional bilingual nanny with over 7 years of experience caring for children from newborns to teenagers. I bring the perfect mix of warmth, structure, creativity, patience, and calm confidence into every home I work with. I have worked with families in New York, The Hamptons, Florida, Puerto Rico, Vermont, Colombia, and China, bringing a global, adaptable, and culturally aware approach to childcare. My approach is centered on safety, emotional connection, developmental growth, and joyful routines. I love creating days filled with reading, music, outdoor play, sensory activities, Spanish immersion, healthy meals, and age-appropriate learning moments that help children feel secure, capable, and excited to grow. I have experience with infant care, toddler routines, school-age children, travel support, busy family schedules, healthy meal prep, children’s laundry, organization, transportation, homework help, potty training, and creating a peaceful rhythm in active households. Families describe me as reliable, loyal, discreet, loving, active, organized, and highly professional. I take pride in being more than a nanny. I become a trusted partner to parents and a steady, positive presence in a child’s life. I am CPR and First Aid certified, fully bilingual in English and Spanish, and comfortable working with families who value high standards, clear communication, emotional intelligence, and exceptional care. If you are looking for someone who will care for your children with love, intention, maturity, and true professionalism, I would be honored to connect with your family.

“Sandy is an absolutely exceptional nanny. She was recommended to me by a friend recently and from the beginning it was clear how talented she is. She immediately got down on my 3 year old’s level and kept her attention all day. She is so kind and engaging that my daughter was immediately smitten. Sandy’s attention was 100% on my daughter the whole time. My daughter often (multiple times per day) asks when Sandy is coming back. There aren’t enough ways to recommend Sandy. She is punctual, reliable, she cooks and speaks multiple languages. Most of all she seems to really enjoy taking care of children. Please do not hesitate to contact me, I would be happy to sing her praises over the phone!”

"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."
