⸻ Hi, I’m Jennlee — a calm, dependable, and nurturing caregiver based in Los Angeles. Alongside my career as a professional vocalist and actress (including performing as Nala in The Lion King and working internationally with Cirque du Soleil), I genuinely love caring for children. Working with families brings a grounding, joyful balance to my creative life, and it’s something I take seriously. Most of my childcare experience has come through referrals and long-term family relationships. I’m an auntie of four and have supported multiple families privately over the years, caring for infants through teens. Parents consistently describe me as warm, patient, organized, and exceptionally reliable. My professional background has strengthened my discipline, punctuality, and ability to stay calm and focused in any environment — qualities that translate directly into safe, attentive childcare. I’m comfortable managing daily routines, creative play, homework support, meal prep, and bedtime wind-downs. I’m a strong communicator and safety-conscious. I adore animals and am happy to assist with pet care as well (former dog mom to a Standard Poodle and Maltese). Availability: Flexible weekdays and weekends when not performing References: Happily provided upon request I would love to connect and support your family. — Jennlee
My name is Fabia, I am 26 years old and I always have had a passion for childcare. I have a bachelors degree in psychology. I am also CPR and first aid certified. I am passionate about my position as a nanny, great work ethic, seeking a long-term position, extremely energetic, and always exhibits a friendly/happy professional personality. I can also help with any household activities that are based around the child which include light housekeeping, laundry, meal prep, etc. I have 6 years of experience with children between the ages of newborn to 5 years. 2 years as a nanny, 3 of those years were in a licensed childcare facility where I mainly worked with children between a range of 3 months to 5 years of age, with some additional experience with school age children. Currently I’m a RBT and have been for the last year and a half. I look forward to hearing back from families.
Hi!! I’m a super easygoing, reliable sitter who genuinely loves being around kids. I'm born and raised in Brazil and I started working as an as an au pair in the USA from 2[removed], then nannied for a couple more years, and have been babysitting on and off ever since. I’ve pretty much done it all with kiddos from newborns up to 10 years old. I’m big on keeping things fun but structured, I love to bake or cook with the kids (I allow them to help based on how old they are), going to the playground, setting up playdates, or just hanging out and getting creative at home. I’m also very comfortable with routines like school pick-up and drop-ff, meals, bath time, and bedtime (and keeping things running smoothly while you’re out). I'm also a great swimmer. I’ve always had really great relationships with the families I’ve worked with and try to be someone both parents and kids feel totally comfortable with. I’m also graduating with my Bachelor’s in Psychology from NSU this May 2026 (yay!) and plan to continue into a Master’s in Clinical Psychology, so I bring a lot of patience and understanding into how I work with kids. Would love to help out your family 🤍
Hi! I'm an FIU student, studying data analytics and business administration. I've got tons of experience with little ones – think toddlers and school-aged kids. I spent a whole summer, and parts of the school year, being a go-to for a fantastic 7-year-old boy. We had a blast! I was there for them for about 3 years, weekends, evenings, homework help, you name it. I'm super easygoing, patient, and gentle. I’m a big reader, so I'm always up for story time. And even if homework isn't their favorite thing, I'm great at finding ways to make it fun and engaging. I'm happy to pitch in with light household stuff too – a little cleaning, unloading the dishwasher, switching laundry, making snacks or dinner, whatever helps make your life a bit easier. I'm a great cook and a reformed picky eater so if you have one of those I'm the girl for the job! Also, I have a tree nut allergy myself, so I totally get the importance of allergy awareness and know how to use an EpiPen. Safety first! I'm excited to meet you and your family!

"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."
