Ana

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 5 families in Granada Hills, CA

I’m so happy to be a nanny! I’ve had the pleasure of caring for infants, toddlers, and older kids. My job involved supporting families with their children’s needs, such as feeding, helping them learn, and making sure they had fun with walks to the park or library, or even driving them to and from school. I speak both English and Spanish, and I’m CPR certified with a clean driving record. I have my own transportation with a clean driving record; else, I’m a non-smoker. I’m also quite flexible with my schedule and can work some weekends. Sorry I don’t have too many reviews, but I’ve been working with the same families for a while.

“Ana was great and flexible with my changing schedule. She was kind and communicative and went above and beyond to help out ”

Gwendolyn 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Granada Hills, CA

Hey there! My name is Gwendolyn, and I have over 15 years of babysitting experience. I have cared for children of all ages, including working as a summer nanny and supporting children on the spectrum. I especially enjoy working with creative and imaginative kids, and I love encouraging fun activities, crafts, and play. In addition to childcare, I regularly care for pets and have experience with senior dogs and cats, including administering medication. I am also available to assist as a household helper-whether that’s light cooking, cleaning, running errands, or helping with day-to-day tasks. And a bit about me: I love all things vintage fashion, Disney, and American Girl dolls. I’m really into history, storytelling, and creative hobbies, which is probably why I get along so well with imaginative kids. I’m friendly, reliable, and genuinely enjoy getting to know and build ongoing relationships with the families I work with.

“Gwen was so great. When I asked my 5 year old if he liked her he said “I love her” 🥰 Will definitely be hiring her again!”

Hello families! I am a warm, gentle caregiver with 3 years of experience caring for children, 3 years providing dedicated companionship and routine support for seniors, and 2 years of feline pet sitting.

“I am delighted to recommend Saroosh Ahsan as a caregiver and driver on UrbanSitter. Having observed her extensively with children, I can attest to her warmth, exceptional patience, and natural ability to connect with kids of all ages. Saroosh excels at engaging children with creative, hands-on activities, library trips, and reading, always fostering a positive, safe, and fun environment.

Booked by 3 families in Granada Hills, CA

Hello! I am a PhD Student in Sociology, where I focus on the sociology of childhood and education. Beyond my research, I have had lots of experience working with kids - casually as a babysitter, but also more formally at a variety of summer camps. I am new to Los Angeles (from London, England) and have enjoyed exploring all the wonderful parks and enjoying the sun. Hope I can do more with your child(ren) sometime soon :)

“Kids immediately warmed to Lara and had such fun playing with her! Will definitely hire again. ”
