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.”

"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."
