Hello! I’m Nico and I bring a warm, grounded presence alongside a genuine passion for child development. My background spans 10 years of childcare experience inclusive of nannying, arts education through dance, tutoring, coaching, and one-on-one mentorship — these experiences have sharpened my ability to meet children where they are, build trust, and help them grow in confidence, creativity, and character. I understand that every child is different and I readily adapt my methods to care for children holistically, understanding their unique personalities, pace, and needs. I am professional, discreet, and respectful in my approach — one that always seeks to honor your family's privacy and maintain a standard of excellence in relational rapport. I am organized and proactive by nature, comfortable managing daily schedules, coordinating activities, and communicating clearly with parents and any household staff. I am reliable, flexible, and take pride in my ability to be fully present. My arts and movement background is something I love weaving into everyday life with children — whether that's an impromptu dance session, a creative project, or simply bringing energy and joy to the ordinary moments of the day. I believe the best childcare isn't just supervision — it's thoughtful, attentive companionship that allows children to feel safe, seen, and supported. I would love the opportunity to connect with new families and learn more about their caregiver needs.
“I was visiting LA with my 9 year old, and asked Nico to sit for the afternoon. I hadn’t used the service before but I needed a sitter at a specific time. I showed my daughter several videos, she chose Nico. My daughter had a great afternoon. It’s a small sample size but Nico comes across as very professional with a warm demeanor & seems to genuinely enjoy her work as a caregiver. 10/10 - if the need arises would absolutely book her again the next time we’re in LA.”
** DUE TO A WRIST PROBLEM, I AM ONLY WORKING WITH CHILDREN AGES 4 AND UP** Hello! My name is Monique, and I was a stay-at-home mom of two (now grown) children. After my kids grew up, and I thought about going to work, I couldn't think of anything I'd enjoy more (or am better at) than caring for children! I have lots of experience entertaining children with vastly different temperaments and energy levels. I love children of all ages- including the ones that are old enough to think they're smarter than you! I genuinely find all kids interesting and enjoy talking with them and exploring their interests. I love being silly and kids like me - seriously, they really do! I'll be down on the floor, in the grass, whatever it takes, to interact with and to engage your child. (Obviously, older children may not need/want that kind of attention.) I am nurturing, loving, patient, fun, silly, physically fit, experienced, and professional. - Adult & pediatric CPR and First Aid certified (American Red Cross) -Background checked through the California Trustline Registry and through the company Urban Sitter uses. If your child needs help with school work, I might be able to help. I do love teaching. I home schooled one child for nine years, 4th-12th grade). I'm college educated, have a Masters degree from NYU, and have professional tutoring experience. My SUV seats seven, I can assemble nutritious meals, and I love dogs. I'm fine with other animals, too. I am absolutely responsible, completely reliable and punctual! Thank you for your interest in me :) **BOOKINGS ON FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS: 24-hour cancellation policy, $60 charge, which is not intended as a penalty, but a small amount of the loss I incur from missing out on filling a premium spot.
I’m a very empathetic, patient, and playful person who truly enjoys spending time with children. I love teaching, creating activities, and helping them learn and grow. I have 7 years of babysitting experience with kids from 1 month old to 16 years old, and I’ve also taught ballet and Spanish. I hold a Degree in Social Communication and another in Acting, and I’m certified in First Aid and CPR by the Red Cross. I lead a healthy, active lifestyle and value nature, creativity, gratitude, and keeping a positive environment for kids. I love babysitting because children are naturally imaginative, curious, and full of joy, I love being part of that.

Hello Parents, my name is Deanna. I am a certified postpartum doula and childcare professional with over 10 years of experience caring for children from infancy through elementary school age. Families trust me because I combine expertise, patience, and a warm, dependable presence. I specialize in newborn and infant care—supporting feeding, sleep routines, and early development—but I also love engaging with toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children. Whether it’s creating structured play for little ones, helping with homework, or keeping kids active and entertained, I tailor my approach to meet each child’s needs. What I provide: • Safe, nurturing care for infants with focus on early milestones • Creative and educational play for toddlers and preschoolers • Homework help and after-school support for elementary-age children • Calm, reliable presence that gives parents peace of mind • Household support to ease busy family routines Parents often describe me as professional, patient, and someone their children connect with right away. I understand the trust it takes to invite someone into your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. If you’re looking for a caregiver who can grow with your family—supporting your little one from the baby stage all the way through the school years—I’d love to connect. If your interested in booking me, please read my policy. Once you have scheduled a job with me, I assume you agree to the terms of this agreement. I look forward to meeting your family! Payment Policy: I plan my time and budget according to hours booked, so I require that I am paid for the entire booking regardless of hours actually worked. Booking Policy: If your looking to book me, I have a 4 hour minimum. (except for interviews) Cancellation Policy: Since I am requested by a lot of parents, I need a 24 to 48 hour notice of cancellation so I can book another family. If you do not cancel within that time frame, I request half payment of what would have made during the original booking. If I must cancel because I am either sick or have an emergency. I will make every effort to find you a replacement sitter. Additionally, on the next job, I will babysit an hour for free since I know cancelling can be an inconvenience.
“Deanna is amazing and we couldn't recommend her more highly. She has saved the day on more than one occasion, is super friendly, always comes up with fun things to do with the kids, and most importantly, our kids love her. She's also fun to have around the house. Five sparkly stars.”
