Hi I am a career nanny of 30 years. I have been described as honest, fun, loving, reliable and dependable. I love my job and am so lucky to work with all ages. I have a degree in Early Childhood Education but have worked with infants to teens.I hope to get the chance to interact with one of yours.
“Mary helped me out in a pinch when daycare got canceled. She was very responsive, showed up on time, great energy, wonderful with my 9 month old. Would definitely hire her again.”
Hi parents! I have 15 years of babysitting experience, with as young as 3 months to 12years! I have a B.A. in Dance from Columbia College Chicago. I moved to LA in 2018 and I own a children’s dance studio in Burbank. I would love to work with your family! My video is very old from 2014 when I first joined Urbansitter, I need to update it.

Hi there! My name is Emma, and I am so grateful you took the time to look into my account! A little about me, I grew up in Ventura and am currently in my final year of graduate school at Pacifica Graduate Institute to become a marriage and family therapist. I am currently working as a school therapist twice a week, gaining practicum hours towards my license. For undergrad, I studied anthropology and geography at Cal Poly SLO. In my free time, you can find me spending time in nature, playing guitar, practicing yoga, trying out new recipes, and going for runs. As the oldest girl in a long line of cousins, I have been babysitting most of my life. I am an aunt to four beautiful children aged 10, 8, 3, and 1. I temporarily moved into my brother's house the summer after the second oldest child was born to lend an extra hand. This gave me full-time experience working with infants and toddlers beyond the babysitting I had previously done. I am currently working at a PK-8 school and am very comfortable working with school-aged students as well. I believe in fostering creativity, confidence, and empathy in children while providing a safe, warm, and welcoming environment. I look forward to meeting with you and seeing if I am a good fit for your family! I am happy to answer any questions you have so feel free to reach out!
Hello! I'm a learning specialist/teacher and I'd love to take care of your children after school/evenings/weekends or when I have breaks during the school year (holiday breaks.) I've worked in LA and NY public and independent schools for several years and have experience with engaging and nurturing infants/toddlers/children/tweens/teens. Thank you for your consideration.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
