Hi my name is Marlem, I look forward meeting you and working for your family, but most of all helping out when times are needed. Also, as much as you need me I am there and I'm happy to be there for your kids and you. I love to cook from Breakfast, lunch, and dinner and I love to bake too. I like to interact with your kids from their sports, school activities, homework, anything that entertains them and its educational. I like to make or prep your kids meal(s) that's left for dinner time, once they are ready or meanwhile they are doing homework. I know and understand when you need help and you don't have help. Because my mom was a nanny for a very long time and I grew up watching her. Seeing her be a nanny was a good experience for me and now that I'm grown I would like to give back just like my mom did, I understand why my mom did it now and I love her for it. I have my own reliable car and am comfortable with drop offs and pick-ups, available for all job(s) around the Los Angeles area & Orange County area too. I've worked with family's located up to 25-36 miles from me. I am responsible, reliable and puntual for all my families regardless the distance. I responded back with a text message in 25 seconds of my booking. Also, I'm confident to watch your newborns and toddlers, and middle-schoolers and quickly to abducting to the schedule for your baby. For example for infants, feeding and making bottles, burping, rocking, and changing diaper before and after bottle and nap time, changing clothes if needed. ***I'm CPR and First Aid certified and can provide my card at all times*** ***I am Postpartum dual, Ready to be there for you and your family.*** Note hourly rate are different *** *** Any requests to work on holidays hourly rate will be double *** *** I'm taking COVID very seriously and following CDC guidelines & requirements to stay safe*** **Note; If shift(s) or set schedule ends earlier at parents request, compensation will be for the regular set hours & schedule and paid in full.** I look forward hearing from you soon and working with you.

Hi I am a career nanny of 30 years. I have been described as honest, fun, loving, reliable and dependable. I love my job and am so lucky to work with all ages. I have a degree in Early Childhood Education but have worked with infants to teens.I hope to get the chance to interact with one of yours.

Mary was a delight with our 10 month old son! We felt safe leaving him with her for two nights over the weekend. Would absolutely hire again!

Hi! My name is Emily and I am back on Urban Sitter after a hiatus due to a heavy travel schedule and working corporate. Im excited to connect with new families! I am best for occasional bookings like date night, random school nights etc. I require a four hour minimum (unless I have applied to a listing that displays otherwise). I have connected with several families through Urban Sitter over the years (see my reviews!) and am looking forward to being considered for your next booking.

Hi! I'm Abra. I have experience as a nanny, resort children's program director, and instructor for maritime/marine biology camps. I have experience as a private chef during covid as well as private deckhand/stew. I enjoy cooking. I loved having the opportunity to be a stay at home mom for many years to my daughter, who is now 19, and in college. I currently work part time as a marine surveyor on container ships and oil tankers. In my free time I love to go tidepooling, and I have a native wildflower project I've been working on by myself for several years in Laurel Canyon. I can make an art, craft or science project out of just about anything. I have a ton of silly songs I know by heart, and still love to play. I also have experience with volunteer hospice care and limited mobility care.

Abra was amazing with my 9, 6 and 3 year olds. I could tell that she genuinely enjoys hanging out with kids and my kids loved her. Thank you so much for your help Abra!

Booked by 176 families in La Crescenta, CA

I am a former elementary school science teacher and a marine scientist. I've been working with kids for 22 years: both as a teacher and as a babysitter for family (7 nieces and nephews), friends (I'm "auntie" to many more), and a professional babysitting company. I love working with kids because I am one at heart and love to discover the world at their level. I love running around playing games, doing crafts, reading books, and I am a great homework helper. When I get some free time, I love to go kayaking, hiking, and snorkeling.

LOVE that Xana is so worldly & openminded. She is knowledgeable of languages, customs, and is clearly a lifelong learner. This is someone I’d love for my children to grow up knowing!
