Hello! I’m Kim, your go-to fun-loving, nanny who’s ready to bring a spark of 90s magic to your child’s day. With over 20 yrs of nannying experience paired with 3 years volunteering as a firefighter, I’m here to inspire, protect, and make every moment an adventure. Safety? That’s my top priority. With my certifications in occupational first aid and food safety, plus hands-on experience as a volunteer firefighter, you can trust that I am prepared to handle anything that comes our way. But here’s the real magic: I’m all about recreating that pure, unfiltered joy of childhood. The kind we remember from the 90s. Imagine those long summer days spent outside, begging for just a little more time before the streetlights came on. The jeans with stubborn grass stains your mom can’t seem to get out because your nature walk turned into fairy chasing quests. Proudly sporting battle scars from trying to nail that elusive kick-flip. Muddy hands from concocting mysterious potions. Those agonizing stretches of boredom proclaiming “there’s NOTHING to do!” that somehow turned into wild bike rides to the library to research urban legends, backyard obstacle courses, and unforgettable sleepovers filled with choreographed dance numbers, way too many Totino’s pizza rolls and maybe a couple prank calls. When I’m with your kids, forget Youtube and Fortnite. Choosing me means choosing someone who cares just as deeply about their growth and happiness as you do. It truly weighs on my heart to see how many children today are missing out on the kind of childhood we were fortunate to have. The simple, carefree days filled with imagination and curiosity that made growing up feel special. I want to help your child have those same experiences where they can just be themselves and enjoy being a kid. Have you tried and failed to find a nanny who shares your same values? Are you tired of hearing your kids say the babysitter is boring? Have you burned yourself out juggling schedules around babysitters who moonlight as actors and only want to work when they’re not auditioning? Then let’s meet! I might just be the missing piece to the puzzle you’ve been trying to solve. Being a nanny isn’t just a side gig for me; it’s what I love doing and I take pride in making it my profession. I genuinely enjoy working with children and making a positive difference in families lives and I’d be happy to bring that energy to your home. Thank you so much for your time and I can’t wait to meet you all!

Kimberly is incredible - my two little boys (3 and 5) took to her immediately and had a blast. Experienced, super prompt, and so great at engaging kids with energy and care. Thank you Kimberly!

Hi there! I have over 10 years of experience working with children ranging from infants to middle schoolers, and it’s truly been a joy every step of the way. I recently earned my MFA in Acting, and before that, I spent four years teaching drama classes to kids, helping them grow in confidence, creativity, and communication. Whether I’m caring for a baby or engaging an energetic middle-schooler, I approach every child with patience, warmth, and attentiveness. I’m also passionate about creating a calm, reliable presence in the home, so parents can feel supported and more available for their personal or professional lives. I believe open communication with families is key, and I always aim to be someone you can trust and count on. In my free time, I love cooking and learning new languages and I often find creative ways to bring those interests into the day with little ones.

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

Christina was a phenomenal night nanny. She was highly professional and focused, and easy to work with. She was punctual, reliable, and came up with ideas to help improve our kids' care.

Booked by 38 families in Universal City, CA

I'm a LA native that has worked with children since I was 14. I'm also a professional dancer but nothing fulfills me like working with kids! I love to incorporate art and expression, but have no problem with laying down rules and running errands. I grew up in a big family and have been with children of all ages since day 1! I have a flexible schedule and competitive rates.

Flannery was the best. So kind and caring with our six month old, on time, flexible, and rolled with the punches when it turned out he had a cold. A calming presence! We're so grateful for her help.

"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."
