Booked by 4 families in Pacoima, CA

Hi! I'm Darya - an international student from Belarus. I have lived in the US for 4 years, and before UrbanSitter I cared for pets (Rover.com) and worked as a barista at Universal Studios. Back at home, I spent more than 10 years caring for my younger cousins. So I can be relied upon with kids of all ages from 3 to 15 :) I would describe myself as a cheerful and calm person, open to feedback and willing to make friends with kids. As for my availability, right now I am pretty much always free for several months! Please reach out if you need any of the following: babysitter, petsitter, household assistant. šŸ‘¼šŸ» I can cook, clean, run errands, create fun activities for kids, sing, draw, study and play with them. 🦮 I am also experienced in walking dogs and watching cats. Let me know if you have any further questions and I hope to meet you soon ā¤ļø

ā€œDarya responded quick our communication and was punctual on the day of. She is kind, and my son (5 y) loved her!!! We will definitely use her services again and highly recommend ā˜ŗļøā€

Booked by 4 families in Pacoima, CA

Hey there! My name is Olivia and I am a professional nanny and family assistant located in Los Angeles. I’ve been working as a nanny for about 10 years and have experience with children of all ages (infants, toddlers, elementary-school, middle-school). Over 5 years of those were working full-time for various high-profile families in San Francisco. Given my experience as a family assistant, I am eager to help out in any way your family needs—whether it is organizing, doing dishes, cooking meals, or doing laundry. I have my B.A. magna cum laude in English and Comparative Literature from UCLA and my MFA in Creative Writing from SJSU. Before my return to nannying, I worked as a 6th-12th grade English teacher in Palo Alto. That said, I can also offer basic tutoring or homework help for your child. I am happy to match your family’s style as needed. Generally, I use a RIE/respectful parenting approach when providing childcare (I have a RIE certification for nannying). I can provide household duties as needed (cleanup, laundry, errands, etc.) I also have a reliable car that I can use for childcare duties if need be. I am also a huge animal lover and open to pet care/pet sitting as needed! I look forward to meeting you!

ā€œFantastic and very professional. Highly recommend!ā€

Booked by 1 family in Pacoima, CA

Hi! I’m Vitória, and I have over 7 years of experience supporting families throughout Los Angeles as a nanny, household assistant, and personal organizer. I’ve cared for children from 3 months to 13 years old, with most of my experience being with families of three children between the ages of 2 and 9. My responsibilities have included school pick ups and drop offs, meal preparation, daily routines, activities, homework support, and creating a calm, organized home environment. Beyond childcare, I’ve also supported families with household management, running errands and organizing spaces. I’m currently looking for occasional babysitting. I have some weekdays mornings available and weekends. I’m warm, dependable, proactive, and truly enjoy making life easier for the families I work with. I look forward to connecting with you!

Nia $50 per hour for 1 child

My full birth name is Nia Jade Colbert, but no one calls me Nia—please call me Jade. As an Executive Assistant, it has been a joy and privilege to support, teach, guide, and provide a sense of protection and stability for my executives’ children. Over the years, I’ve managed households, offices, automobiles, travel logistics, and business operations, but nothing has been more fulfilling than being entrusted with helping oversee the well-being of their children and pets. My approach is simple: I see myself as my executives’ children’s Executive Assistant as well. After all, they are the future leaders of our country. I strive to foster creativity, service, support, safety, health, and love while encouraging them to grow into the people they are meant to become. I am a Christian and a Republican, and I respect every person’s God-given free will to seek their own faith and path. I believe in leading by example, treating others with kindness, respect, and integrity. I’m probably transparent to a fault. I live a very structured life, and I find fulfillment in meeting new people, building meaningful connections, and embracing experiences that challenge me to grow. I already have a very reputable top-tier job in finance during the work week and hoping to save money faster to purchase a home to take care of my family. I am also a proud mother of a 22-year-old son with special needs. God bless everyone. šŸ’›šŸŒ…šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø
