Hello my name is Maria, I have about 12+ years experience working with children. From ages ranging from infant to 12 years old, in and outside the school setting. I have experience delivering behavior therapies as well. I am very quick when it comes to creating fun new ideas with children. I am patient, compassionate and understanding. My love for animals makes me a great animal sitter as well. Looking forward to meeting you and your family.

Maria was wonderful with our 11-month-old baby. She arrived early, was very professional, and immediately put us at ease. She followed our bedtime routine carefully and handled everything calmly and confidently. Communication was clear and timely, which we really appreciated since we were out for the evening. Our baby was well cared for and sleeping peacefully when we returned. We would absolutely recommend Maria to other families and would be happy to work with her again!

Hi, my name is Miesha. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Hospitality and Tourism Management with a minor in Business Administration from San Francisco State University. I am a 5-star certified nanny with over seven years of experience caring for children from newborns to teens. I specialize in various types of care, including travel care, hotel care, amusement park care, occasional care, overnight care, and event care. Additionally, I am a newborn care specialist in training. I am the Client Services and Event Logistics Manager for Sunflower Nannies Staffing, where I train nannies on how to succeed in providing a variety of childcare services and match nannies with families to meet their unique needs. I am certified in First Aid, AED, and CPR for infants, children, and adults and am TrustLine certified. I offer flexible, open availability, and my rates vary depending on the child’s age, specific needs, and other factors. I love being a babysitter/nanny because of the meaningful connections I build with children. They remind me that the simple things in life can bring the greatest joy. In my free time, I enjoy playing sports, cooking and baking, spending time at the park, exploring new places, and traveling. You can find my personal business social media page on Facebook at The Village Auntie.

Hi! I am 28 years old, have an AA in American Sign Language/Interpreter Training and am a behavior technician. I speak fluent English and Spanish and am still learning to fully communicate in ASL. I get along with kids, due to the many in my family, and love to get creative and fun with them. I get my experience from babysitting children of family and friends, and have cared for kids of all ages, especially since starting on urbansitter. I like dancing, karaoke, drawing, painting, and so much more. I accept cash and zelle, but will accept getting paid through the app if you prefer, just let me know. I am very communicative with parents and guardians and send constant updates. For pet sitting, the rate is negotiable. I love all animals! I have dogs and a turtle of my own, as well as provide care for other pets of family and friends. I volunteered at an animal hospital for a year and gained some experience with sick and critical patients, as well as giving medications. I also gained experience from my own dogs with paralysis, blindness, ear infections, and more. I love babysitting! Let me know if there's anything else you want to know about me and I will get back to you ASAP.

Five stars would definitely recommend to any family looking for someone with a wonderful approach to both neurotypical and neurodivergent children, very reliable, communicative, and professional. Vanessa was great with our five year- old & my daughter felt immediately comfortable with her, & my seven-year-old nonverbal son did just fine all night long. Vanessa is very experienced in handling children on the spectrum and taking the patience, understanding and care, which is something I look for in every Babysitter I hire . They all did so well together, I really look for someone who has experience with neurodivergent children and Vanessa was five stars all the way I really appreciate how she engaged she was with my babies. We will definitely be having Vanessa over again.

Hi, and thanks for stopping by! I have many years of experience working with high-net-worth and high-profile families in Los Angeles. I’m TrustLine registered and have been thoroughly vetted by some of LA’s top nanny agencies. I currently work as a full-time, rotational live-in nanny in Montecito on a three-weeks-on, three-weeks-off schedule. During my off weeks, I’m happy to support local families needing occasional help. My schedule is guaranteed through the end of the year. I look forward to connecting! (My rate is flexible depending on your location and number of children—feel free to message me to discuss.)
