Sally $45 per hour for 1 child

For 15 years, I had the privilege of serving one wonderful family in a multi-faceted role as a full-time nanny, private chef, family assistant, personal assistant, and house manager. I helped raise two children, one of whom is on the the autism spectrum, working closely with teachers, behavioral therapists, and psychiatrists to help ensure consistency and the best possible support. My approach to children centers on understanding each child's individuality, creating a safe, respectful, and encouraging environment. Beyond childcare, I take pride in running an organized and welcoming household, managing everything from meal planning and private chef services to scheduling, errands, and anticipating the day-to-day needs of a busy family. Known for my warmth, creativity, and strong work ethic, I aim to become a trusted extension of any family I serve, someone parents can rely on and children can feel comfortable with. I'd be honored to bring that same dedication and compassion to your family.

Victoria $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I’m originally from Pasadena and now living in North Hollywood. I’ve spent the last few years as a third-grade teacher in Burbank, and I’m currently taking some time away from the classroom to focus on personal projects and plan my wedding with my partner of 8 wonderful years! I hold degrees in Science and Art, along with a Master’s in Education—so I’m well-prepared to help with homework and offer tutoring in a variety of subjects. I genuinely love supporting kids as they grow, learn, and gain confidence. As an artist, I’ve worked with all kinds of materials—from clay and collage to painting and stained glass. I’m always excited to bring creativity into my time with kids, whether that means getting messy with an art project or exploring the outdoors. I’m also a UC-certified Master Gardener and have taught gardening classes in Altadena—I'd love to share that hands-on knowledge with your little ones, too! At home, I’m a proud cat, lizard, and fish mom, so I’m more than comfortable with pets. I’m also passionate about cooking (mostly plant-based!) and am happy to help with meal prep, light cooking, and tidying up around the house—just say the word. Above all, I love being silly and still carry a deep love for childlike fun, imagination, and games. I believe in creating a warm, joyful space where kids feel safe, seen, and encouraged to be themselves. Looking forward to connecting and supporting your family with care, creativity, and lots of heart!

Theresa $20 per hour for 1 child

I have been babysitting since high school and worked as a nanny after graduating, gaining several years of hands-on experience caring for children of different ages. I studied vocal performance at Berklee College of Music before transferring home during the pandemic and completing my degree in Theatre at the University of New Mexico. My background in the arts allows me to bring creativity, patience, and a strong sense of play to childcare. I love engaging kids through imaginative play, storytelling, music, and creative activities. Whether I’m helping with homework, encouraging creativity, or teaching a child a simple song on the piano, I strive to create a supportive and fun environment where children feel confident and cared for. I am conversational in French and currently studying Spanish, and I enjoy incorporating language and music into activities when appropriate. I have a current drivers license.

Airam $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Airam, and I’m a caring, responsible, and enthusiastic babysitter and nanny with over 5 years of childcare experience. I genuinely love working with children and creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where they can learn, grow, and feel comfortable being themselves. Throughout my experience, I’ve developed a strong understanding of children’s different needs, personalities, and daily routines. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing meals and snacks, organizing creative activities, or keeping little ones entertained, I always strive to make each day enjoyable while maintaining a safe and structured environment. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and naturally creative. I love planning activities that encourage imagination, learning, and play, while also making sure children feel heard, supported, and cared for. I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can fully trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping, meal preparation, and maintaining daily routines to make life a little easier for busy families. My goal is to build genuine, lasting relationships with the families I work with and provide parents with peace of mind knowing their children are in caring and reliable hands. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and see how I can 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."
