I’m a calm, organized, and caring individual with a deep passion for learning. I firmly believe that kindness and understanding our emotions can truly make a difference in the world. As a nanny, I find joy in nurturing children’s growth and development while fostering an environment of warmth, fun, and learning. I was a RBT, working with individuals in the autism spectrum. Currently, I’m a OTD student, pursuing a career as a pediatric occupational therapist . I’ve taken specialized courses in human biology, psychology, and child development that have expanded my understanding of how children grow physically, emotionally, and cognitively. I’m excited to continue building on this knowledge while connecting with and engaging children in meaningful ways. I love taking children outdoors to explore parks and nature, helping them develop a sense of wonder and adventure. Watching kids learn, grow, and experience the world around them is incredibly rewarding. I’m happy to provide references from my previous nanny positions and look forward to getting to know your family. Let’s connect and chat about how I can contribute to your child’s development and happiness!
“Amanda took care of our daughter for 2 years and was the most incredible caregiver. She's very reliable, hardworking, and has a natural ability to connect with children. I highly recommend her!”
Hi, I’m Emily! I have worked in childcare for about 10+ years, I have been a sitter/nanny, a counselor, a swim coach/instructor and a day care worker. I have a day job where I work for ESPN but I love to work with kids because it makes me happy! I can work with a wide range of ages and a wide range of kids!
“Emily was great. My kids warmed up to her quickly. She was on time and asked great questions. She has great communication. I would definitely request her again. ”
Hello families! My name is Crystle and I’m a recent graduate from CSU Northridge. A few things I’d be more than delighted to do is childcare, pet care, and household services. I have 7 years of experience through summer camps and caregiving for the elderly. I have worked with multiple wonderful families and their children, with whom I have developed great relationships with and had the most rewarding experiences with them. I’ve cared for beloved pets as well! I would be more than happy to accompany your children and/ or pets, as I have a pet myself, and I understand the responsibility that comes with caring for and loving them. I'd be delighted to complete household services as well, including driving the kids to any extracurricular activities or events they might have, looking after pets or running errands. I take initiative in doing work that may need attending to and will ensure that everything required of me is completed thoroughly and efficiently. I understand that finding the best caregiver or babysitter for your loved ones is a top priority, in which I have made it my priority to ensure that I will provide the best outcome. I take pride in any work I do, and I’d love to have the opportunity to work with you! Please don’t hesitate to reach out for any questions or concerns!
Hello, my name is Kylee, and I received my B. A. in Digital and Video Film Production from Maryount California University in Palos Verdes. I love and have so much fun interacting with children. They have a such a way of looking at the world and I try to always remember seeing the world through their eyes from time to time. My mom spent many years teaching dance and drama at an elementary school which I would help facilitate by watching and playing with the kids. I have babysat since I was 16 mostly between the ages of 5 months to 6 years old. I also was actively working in the nursery at my church since I was 12. Children are amazing and can teach as much as they need to learn. I would really enjoy any opportunity to continue to learn and work with the little one's to help parent's out. Another fun job I have is working as a princess, face painter, and balloon twister. It definitely keeps my imagination sharp which is helpful when it comes to play time with toddlers and elementary age children. My mom was a single parent so I know how hard it can be. If there is any way I can help alleviate some of that pressure I would be glad to offer my services.
“Oct 2025 Update: Kylee is great with our boys, now 7 and 3. She initially started with us when we had 1. She’s reliable, responsible, caring and very entertaining with our boys. Story time voices, games, songs, face painting, dancing-she does it all. Both are high functioning autistic so she’s experienced with special needs as well. I would recommend her again and again! (2019) Kylee was fantastic with our 7 month old. He wears a helmet for plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome) so caring for him is a little more involved than your average baby. She fed, changed, and kept him entertained and safe. We’re happy to have her as our regular sitter. ”
Hello! My name is Victoria and I have years of experience in child care. I am a newborn care specialist and a trained postpartum doula. I have worked as a nanny/babysitter for 15+years, and currently am an arts educator in theatre. I direct children’s plays and help manage a performing arts studio. I have experience with children of all ages. I love yoga, the outdoors, coloring, theatre, singing, dancing, vegetables, and ice cream! It would be a pleasure to meet you and your family :)
“We loved meeting Victoria, and our kids had so much fun! We’re looking forward to seeing her again soon!”

"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."
