I’m a caring, reliable caregiver with experience working with children of all ages, and I also bring the perspective of being a parent to an infant. I hold a Master of Public Health (MPH) degree, which has shaped my thoughtful, safety-focused approach to caregiving. I’m comfortable with everything from newborn care to engaging older kids in play, and I always aim to create a calm, nurturing environment while following each family’s routines. I treat every child with patience, attentiveness, and the same care I give my own.
Hi! I’m a developmental therapist with a genuine passion for working with children and supporting their growth, confidence, and emotional well-being. I currently work with children ages 3–10 while pursuing my Master’s in Counseling Psychology with a focus on Marriage and Family Therapy. I also have a Bachelor’s degree in Child and Adolescent Development, with a concentration in Youth Work and Out-of-School Time. I’ve spent over six years working with children in a variety of settings, including schools, preschools, camps, and families’ homes. I’ve worked in special education with LAUSD, taught preschool in both San Francisco and Portland, and spent four years as a camp counselor with Camp Galileo. These experiences have given me the opportunity to work with children of different ages, personalities, and needs, and have taught me how important it is to meet each child where they are. I also have several years of nannying experience and have worked with around seven different families. I’ve helped with everything from weekly childcare and school pickups to overnight trips, meal preparation, bedtime routines, arts and crafts, homework, and keeping children engaged throughout the day. I really enjoy creating a balance between structure and fun—whether that means getting creative with an activity, heading outside to play, helping with homework, or simply being a caring and dependable presence for a child. Outside of my professional work, I’ve always been passionate about giving back to children and families. I’ve volunteered with organizations such as Safe & Sound, where I provided peer counseling and support, and Reading Partners, where I tutored elementary school children who were working to improve their reading skills. I would describe myself as warm, patient, responsible, and easygoing. I truly enjoy getting to know each child as an individual and creating a relationship where they feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to be themselves. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and see how I can be a helpful part of your child’s life!
“Janie was an excellent sitter for our two young children (4 and 6). She is warm and calm, listens carefully and responds thoughtfully to our children. She provides constructive guidance to them, helps them stay organized, encourages them to use words to talk out their disputes, and makes them feel safe. She was always on time, and proactive in planning. She helped with school pick-up and prepped dinner and fed our children on some evenings. I would definitely hire Janie again, and recommend her highly for your family.”
Hello, my name is Autumn and I've recently returned to my hometown of Los Angeles. I'm very excited to reconnect with my roots and plant myself into a new life here. Since I was a valley girl, I've been caring for others. Whether it was my younger siblings (I come from a family of 7 kids) or the sweet family of 6 down the street, I started babysitting at the responsible age of 11! Years later I chose to be an au-pair in Germany to an infant and her 3 year old sister Luisa who filled my days with curiosity and wonder. Not long after returning to the states, I lived with a professional family of Berkeley, nannying for their 2 daughters aged 7 and 9. With both families I tutored, cooked, played games, crafted, offered transportation, advised, championed, provided recreational activities and sang lullabies. In-between these lines of work, I was also once a clown and balloon maker. I have assisted elders with tender care, errands, out of state relocation and aquatic exercise! (I recently became a lifeguard and certified swim instructor.) I am an extremely clean and organized person, a self-taught home chef, attended neurodivergent training and believe that human connection should always come first. I drive an all electric vehicle and have a clean driving history. I am the sole caretaker of 2 sweet cats but have also looked after friend's dogs in the past. As a child I had a pet mouse, snake, parakeet and hamster so I'm comfortable with all types! I pay close attention to detail, am excellent at anticipating needs and am a certified masseuse. I have much to offer individuals and families of all sizes. Being a caregiver is so much more than customer service as it requires sincere intuition and heart. One has to navigate personal needs while also being present of mind to consider safety, technicalities and timelines. I'm also experienced in home renovations should any minor repairs be required. Collectively, I possess the personal qualities, the particular skillset and the creative talents to care for animals, homes and humans of all ages. I look forward to connecting to see if we're a match!
I am a third year college student at Ca State Dominguez Hills and I’m majoring in Advertising and Public Relations. I have been taking care of kids ages 0-3 for the last 2 years. I have always loved helping people so becoming a nanny came very naturally. I love reading so reading to babies it’s very beneficial for their language development and fun for me!

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
