Carla $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Universal City, CA

Hi, I’m Carla! I’m a caring and dependable nanny with over 10 years of experience working with infants, toddlers, and young children in both daycare and private home settings. I truly enjoy creating a safe, nurturing, and structured environment where children can learn, grow, and feel comfortable. I love incorporating creative activities like singing, dancing, reading, and play-based learning into daily routines to support early development while keeping things fun and engaging. I’m patient, attentive, and always mindful of each child’s unique needs and personality. I have experience working closely with private families, maintaining clear communication, respecting household routines, and providing reliable, consistent care. I’m known for being trustworthy, organized, and proactive, and I take pride in building strong relationships with both children and parents. My goal is always to support families by creating a positive, safe, and well-balanced environment where children feel happy and cared for every day. I’d love to connect and see if I’d be a great fit for your family!

William $21 per hour for 1 child

Hello! Thanks for coming across my profile! In the afternoons, I’m currently a Behavioral Interventionist with ACES ABA, and have always loved kids! I don’t have any direct babysitting experience currently, but have always loved spending time with the young members of my family and playing/taking care of them during family visits. I also have previous experience caring for a special needs adult, and have calmly de escalated and re directed tantrums, and have used this knowledge during my BI job as well. My personality traits are definitely patience, fun, firm, and accommodating to whatever my client has needed in the past. The client always comes first.

Sofia $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sofia, and I’m a college student currently pursuing my AA in Psychology at Los Angeles Valley College. I have a genuine passion for working with children and creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment where they can learn, play, and grow. I have experience working with kids as a camp counselor and currently as a Supervisor’s Aide at an elementary school, where I help support students throughout their day and encourage positive behavior and development. I also work as a Starbucks barista, which has strengthened my patience, communication skills, multitasking abilities, and ability to stay calm under pressure. I am CPR certified and committed to ensuring children’s safety and well-being at all times. Families describe me as responsible, dependable, energetic, and caring. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning fun activities, preparing simple meals, or simply being a positive role model, I enjoy building meaningful connections with children and supporting their individual needs. I look forward to helping your family and providing reliable, attentive, and compassionate care for your children!

Cierra 1 review
$27 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Cierra, and I am currently a Lead Teacher at a preschool where I work primarily with 2-year-olds. I am offering child care services and have several years of experience working with children ages 2-5 in preschool classroom settings. I love working with children and especially enjoy arts and crafts, sensory play, music and movement activities, and themed activities that keep kids engaged and having fun while learning. I am very comfortable managing daily routines for multiple children at once, including meals, naps, potty training, transitions, outdoor play, and bedtime routines. Families often describe me as warm, personable, dependable, and attentive. I genuinely enjoy building connections with children and creating an environment where they feel safe, supported, and excited to play and learn. That connection often extends outside the classroom, as I have continued babysitting for former preschool families and love maintaining those relationships as children grow. While my most recent experience has been with toddlers and preschool-aged children, I also have experience with school-aged children through camps and after-school care. I am comfortable supervising multiple children at once and adapting activities to different personalities, interests, and energy levels.

“I cannot recommend Cierra highly enough. She is truly exceptional and goes above and beyond for the kids in her care. She was my son's pre-school teacher and helped him through a hard transition into a new school. Under her care, he truly blossomed, and I was incredibly impressed at how effortlessly she creates both structure and a joyful learning environment. Moreover, she is an excellent communicator. It’s rare to find someone who combines professionalism, warmth, and natural instinct with kids so seamlessly. I highly recommend Cierra. She brings years of experience with children, and any family would be incredibly lucky to work with her.”

Amanda $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I'm Amanda, I'm 27, I have my own car, and I've been babysitting/nannying since I was a young teenager. I've done school drop offs and pick-ups, packing lunches, playtime at parks and/or indoors, etc. I've had the pleasure of nannying for families with various kids' ages, ranging from 0-10, and I have multiple years of experience caring for and teaching kids with my background in church. I also write music, so I like to bring that creativity to dance parties, making up little songs for tasks, 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."
