Jennifer $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Jennifer, a reliable and enthusiastic caregiver with 4 years of hands-on experience supporting families through childcare, pet care, and household services. After my journey in the U.S. Navy I began my journey as a assistant teacher and quickly expanded into full-family support roles, working with families who needed help with everything from daily childcare to keeping the home running smoothly and caring for their beloved pets. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of caring for children from infants through elementary school age, as well as dogs, cats, and the occasional small animal. I genuinely love what I do — creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for kids while giving parents peace of mind. In addition to childcare and pet care, I’m experienced with a wide range of household tasks including thorough cleaning, meal preparation, laundry, running errands, and light organization. I’m comfortable bringing my own supplies when requested and always take pride in leaving spaces fresh and tidy. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and am known for being punctual, proactive, and genuinely caring. My goal is always to become a trusted extension of the family I work with. I’d love the opportunity to learn more about your family’s needs and how I can help!

I am a responsible, caring, and patient person with experience caring for young children, especially infants and children between the ages of 2 and 4. I love working with children, supporting them as they grow, playing with them, and creating a safe and loving environment. I consider myself very detail-oriented, organized, and reliable. I always make sure the children are well cared for, entertained, and happy. I can also help with daily routines such as meals, naps, and age-appropriate educational activities. In addition, I have a warm and positive personality, which allows me to connect easily with children and build trust with both them and their parents.

Ryan $32 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I'm a warm, dependable 30-year-old based in Los Angeles with years of experience caring for children of all ages - from infants and toddlers to tweens. Originally from NJ/NY, I've lived in LA for three years and love this community deeply. After seven years in the fashion industry as a merchandiser and buyer, I'm now a graduate student pursuing my Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), so nurturing kids' emotional well-being is truly my passion. I have a valid driver's license and car, so school pick-up and drop-off is no problem! I love keeping kids engaged with arts and crafts, fun activities, and homework help, and I'm happy to welcome your pets too. I bring a calm, attentive presence to every family I work with. Feel free to reach out! Thank you very much! Ryan

Samantha 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi - my name is Sam and I moved to LA two years ago. I had been working with my previous nanny family for a year and a half and am now looking for new families to work with. I am offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I started working with children when I was in middle school and began helping out at a family friend’s daycare and preschool. Since then, I have worked one on one babysitting for families since high school. I have experience with newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I also have experience working as a dance teacher, teaching students from kindergarten to high school and managing classes up to 10 students. I am also happy to care for pets. I have mostly cared for dogs, but also have experience with cats and rodents. I am also available for housesitting!

“We give Sam our highest and most enthusiastic recommendation. She has been with our family for nearly two years, and during that time she has proven herself to be an exceptional nanny and caregiver in every sense. Sam is consistently punctual, reliable, and a clear, thoughtful communicator. She manages our two children — currently a 2-year-old and a 6-month-old — with remarkable ease, confidence, and care. Whether engaging them in play, providing attentive and nurturing care, or planning age-appropriate learning activities, Sam brings patience, creativity, and genuine warmth to everything she does. She is equally capable both at home and out in the world. From organizing enriching indoor activities to confidently taking both girls out in a double stroller for trips to the park, Sam ensures they have opportunities to socialize, explore, and play — all while maintaining excellent safety awareness and judgment. Her ability to independently manage both children’s needs simultaneously is truly impressive. Sam also assists seamlessly with preparing simple breakfasts, lunches, and bottles, helps tidy up after playtime, and is excellent at managing sleep and nap schedules. She is organized, proactive, and always respectful of our routines and preferences. Beyond her skills, Sam is responsible, respectful, and deeply caring. She is affectionate and attentive with our children and has built a meaningful, loving bond with them. She has also been a joy for us to work with as parents — trustworthy, kind, and professional. While we are saddened that we won’t be able to have Sam with us as much moving forward, we know that the next family fortunate enough to work with her will be welcoming a truly special young woman into their home. She is all that and more as a nanny, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.”

Nadia $24 per hour for 1 child

I am a reliable, proactive, and highly organized caregiver with experience supporting children, seniors, pets, and busy household environments. I naturally take initiative, stay ahead of needs, and bring structure and calm to fast-paced, changing days. I have cared for children since my teenage years and am confident supporting daily routines including meals, activities, transportation, and creating a safe, positive environment. I am patient, engaging, and understand the importance of consistency, communication, and emotional awareness when working with kids. I also have hands-on experience supporting seniors and individuals with mobility needs, including assisting with daily care, errands, grocery shopping, and household tasks. These experiences strengthened my sense of responsibility, attentiveness, and reliability in providing dependable support. In addition, I am highly comfortable managing household tasks such as meal prep, grocery shopping, light housekeeping, organizing spaces, running errands, and maintaining household systems like calendars, schedules, and restocking needs. I enjoy creating order and efficiency in ways that make daily life easier for families. I am dependable, detail-oriented, and proactive in anticipating needs before they arise. I value trust, discretion, and long-term commitment, and I aim to support families in a way that reduces stress and increases flow in their daily lives.

"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."
