Booked by 9 families in Van Nuys, CA

Hi! I’m Cielo, a caring and energetic nanny with over 15 years of experience working with children. I’m currently looking to connect with families who need occasional date night help or part time support. I truly love working with kids and believe in creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where they can thrive. I enjoy cooking healthy, kid-friendly meals and keeping little ones active and engaged, whether that’s through outdoor play, yoga (I’m a certified yoga teacher!), reading together, or board games. I’m comfortable around pets (I adore both dogs and cats) and always happy to help maintain a calm, positive household atmosphere. I especially enjoy working with children ages 4 and up who are curious, creative, and full of energy! If you’re looking for a reliable, compassionate, and mindful sitter who brings joy and structure to your child’s day, I’d love to connect with your family!

“Cielo was amazing! My kiddos adored her. She was super sweet and kind, on time, helpful and communicated perfectly. I would recommend her to any family in need of a reliable sitter ”

"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."
