Hi, My name is Danae I’m 30 years from Los Angeles. I am Legal Assistant, Case Manager, and Notary for a personal injury firm with a passion for children & childcare. I’ve been a nanny for about 15+ years, I started by nannying for twins and began working for other friends and family’s children as well. In my years of being a nanny, I’ve mainly cared for infants, toddlers and elementary school age but love kids of all ages. In my free time, I like to play basketball, go swimming, cooking, and dance. I'm a dedicated, hardworking, and professional nanny & I am looking to showcase my experience and skills to ensure exceptional childcare. I strive to be the best nanny I can be. I wish to help families with providing a safe and comfortable environment for their children. I also encourage children to participate in fun and educational activities. Hope to speak soon :)
Hello my name is Maria, I have about 12+ years experience working with children. From ages ranging from infant to 12 years old, in and outside the school setting. I have experience delivering behavior therapies as well. I am very quick when it comes to creating fun new ideas with children. I am patient, compassionate and understanding. My love for animals makes me a great animal sitter as well. Looking forward to meeting you and your family.
“Maria was wonderful with our 11-month-old baby. She arrived early, was very professional, and immediately put us at ease. She followed our bedtime routine carefully and handled everything calmly and confidently. Communication was clear and timely, which we really appreciated since we were out for the evening. Our baby was well cared for and sleeping peacefully when we returned. We would absolutely recommend Maria to other families and would be happy to work with her again!”
Hi, UrbanSitter Parents! I am a childcare professional and enrichment arts educator with several years of experience in providing childcare and early childhood arts education. I have enjoyed providing childcare for UrbanSitter families for over 10 years. I am also an experienced pet sitter. I relocated to Los Angeles, CA near Larchmont Village in the summer of 2020 after residing in Chicago for nearly 20 years, where I taught music and movement arts classes during the school year. I have experience working with families who use gentle parenting and a blend of Waldorf, Reggio Emilia, and Montessori approaches in their parenting style. My ECE and responsive caregiving approach is rooted in providing children with a safe, nurturing and developmentally appropriate space to wonder and discover through guided and child-led purposeful play. I also have a host of back pocket open-ended activities that can be readily adapted to align with your child's needs and interests. Please feel free to reach out to me to discuss how I may be able to suit your childcare needs. I look forward to having the opportunity to share my love and passion for early childcare and arts education with you and your family. :) Certifications/Education: B.A. in Theater, Columbia College Chicago; 12 Early Childhood Education CR; Pediatric First Aid CPR/AED, American Heart Association; 30 Day Substitute Teaching Permit. *Up to date on Covid 19 and flu vaccinations. *I have a 3 hour babysitting minimum for nearby families (4 hour minimum for service areas over 2 miles away), and an 8 hour max for one-time and short term recurring jobs. *Cash payment is ok, but Venmo, Zelle, CashApp or credit card payments via Urbansitter.com are preferred. Cancellation Policy: My cancellation policy is case by case, as I want to be fair and sensitive to whatever seems reasonable under each cancellation circumstance. If I am able to find another job to replace the canceled job, I don't expect any compensation. Because I do turn down other work and also rely on the anticipated income earned from UrbanSitter jobs booked more than a week in advance, I typically request payment for 50% of the total hours for the cancelled booking (unless I am able to find another job to replace the cancelled job).
“Angela and my daughter got along instantly. She was so attentive and kept me updated all day. I can’t wait to hire her again!”

"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."
