Nafina $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Van Nuys, CA

My name is Nafina. I am a 23 year old tutor and teacher’s assistant looking for extra work beyond my current position. With 4 years of experience in the field of education with both elementary-age and university students, I hope to expand my skill set to babysitting! My experience in both education as well as other jobs including food service, retail, and program administration has equipped me as an adaptable, thoughtful, caring, and hardworking childcare provider. I deeply enjoy working with children in the classroom, where I tutor various subjects including mathematics, phonics, writing composition, and reading comprehension. This classroom experience has also given me the skills to support children’s overall development in addition to ensuring that they have an enjoyable, productive learning experience. Getting to know each of my students individually and ensuring that they each feel heard, understood, and supported is incredibly important for me. As for me personally, some of my personal hobbies include reading, drawing, journaling, and working out. I enjoy integrating creative activities into my lessons with my students and would love to bring that into my babysitting as well!

Booked by 1 family in Van Nuys, CA

Hi! I’m Elisabeth. I truly enjoy spending time with children and animals—especially dogs and cats. I believe they bring so much joy and positivity, and I love creating a safe, caring, and fun environment for them. Spanish is my first language (I’m from Argentina), and I’m happy to speak both Spanish and English with families. I’ve been caring for children since I was young, helping neighbors as well as my sister. After moving to Los Angeles, I gained experience working with infants, toddlers, and older children. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each child’s unique needs. I also bring 18 years of professional experience in a different field, which has strengthened my reliability, organization, and communication skills. I look forward to supporting your family!

“Elisabeth was amazing with our 10 month old baby. ”

Paola 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Paola, and I am a caring, loving, patient, and responsible childcare provider with more than 10 years of experience caring for children from newborns to 14 years old. Working with children has always been my passion. Throughout my career, I have provided a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. I understand the importance of building trusting relationships with both children and parents, and I strive to treat every child with kindness, respect, and compassion. In addition to my extensive experience with typically developing children, I also have valuable experience working with children with special needs, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Down syndrome, and ADHD. This experience has helped me develop strong skills in patience, communication, behavior support, and creating individualized activities that meet each child’s unique needs. I am dependable, organized, and committed to supporting children’s emotional, social, and developmental growth. Whether caring for a newborn, helping with school-age children, or supporting children with special needs, I always prioritize safety, encouragement, and positive interactions. I would be honored to become part of your family’s support system and provide loving, attentive care for your children.

“The best of the best. Paola is the most attentive, loving, patient nanny for our boys. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t feel so lucky that we found her. Our boys absolutely adore her. She is extremely reliable, always ready to help and is exactly who you would want your children to be learning from and growing up with. If I could give her 100 stars I would!”

"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."
