Hi there, I’m Avalon! I am an actor and recently moved to Los Angeles from Manhattan where I attended NYU’s Grad Acting program at Tisch School of the Arts. I spent nearly a decade in Manhattan, where I first moved in 2015 to pursue my undergraduate degree at Fordham University. Soon after my arrival, I started professionally nannying around Manhattan and Brooklyn. Throughout my 10+ years of experience, I have provided for families with a variety of needs. From taking care of a newborns, to after school care, to assisting in household management, I have done it all. I have found that my artistic pursuits as well as my experience in teaching theater school-age children complement my child care work extremely well. I’m known for bringing a lot of joy and play into my time with kids. Further, intuition, imagination and creativity come naturally to me, which allows me to come up with thoughtful and creative solutions for conflict resolution and other obstacles. Feel free to contact me if you think we could be a great fit! I look forward to learning about your family, and sharing more about my experience and approach. All best, Avalon :)

Absolutely loved Avalon! She was great with both of my kids and she had a wonderful personality!!!! Will use again very soon!

Hi, I’m Michelle! I’m an experienced nanny and household assistant who has cared for children of all ages (from newborns 4 days old to teens). Through UrbanSitter, I’ve worked with 15+ families, completing 100+ bookings that have included recurring schedules, 8+ hr shifts, overnights, travel support, and last-minute care. Families value my ability to smoothly manage siblings and multi-age groups while keeping routines balanced and fun. I try to be a calm, reliable presence as well as flexible and communicative. I support children’s daily routines while keeping them engaged in meaningful play and activities. I like to offer choices so kids feel heard while staying within safe, supportive boundaries, and I aim to keep days active, balanced, and screen-free. I love arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, and hands-on activities, and I’m also happy to incorporate Spanish into daily routines! My style is adaptable, and I’m happy to follow each family’s preferences! I’m glad to help with errands, driving, and household tasks, and I’m also available for travel, events, and backup care. I’m CPR/First Aid certified, a safe driver with two Evenflo Revolve car seats (can be rear or forward facing), and comfortable caring for pets as part of the family’s routine. Whether you need regular care, date nights, travel support, or a reliable backup, I’m here to help and make things easier for your family!

Michelle is an absolute delight! Here are some thoughts on our experience with Michelle as our 1 year old son’s babysitter: Communication She’s great with communication! Being full-time working parents, she’s awesome at texting updates on how my son is doing and if he’s on schedule. We have full trust in her! Childcare Amazing! My son loves her company!! She’s friendly, caring, and can keep up with our active baby (even on his not so happy teething days). Flexibility I’ve had a great experience with scheduling with Michelle. She’s very accommodating to our needs and is transparent about availability /timing (which is appreciated)! With our son, she’s also flexible with his hour-to-hour needs. Babies are sometimes unpredictable and she is quick to keep up with him. ☺️ All in all, we enjoy seeing Michelle and will continue to book with her!

Hi! My name is Jenny and I have over 15 years experience in childcare. I graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago and worked in the children's department of a library for several years. I did storytime, crafts, and helped children with homework and research at the library. I also love painting and drawing and enjoy teaching children how to draw, instilling in them my passion for the arts. I'm a lifelong bookworm, love reading with children, and hope I encourage their own love of books. Books, art, and a great role model can enrich a child's life and watching a child's development is very rewarding. I have worked primarily as a nanny the last five years since moving to Los Angeles. The wonderful families and children I've worked with and grown close to has sustained me in LA. I'm lucky to have created a network of families I babysit for and to have a role in their children's lives. I have the best parents in the world and I model the selfless, gentle, and devoted way I was raised. Being a parent is the hardest job in the world and I will do anything I can to make a parent's life easier.
