Booked by 4 families in Lomita, CA

Hi there! My name is Sabrina, and I’m a graphic designer living near Hermosa Beach. Originally from Oahu, I moved to Los Angeles to attend Pepperdine University and graduated in 2019. I have over 15 years of experience working with children in various roles, including as a day camp counselor, tutor, and nanny. I truly miss working with children, which is why I’m excited to rejoin Urbansitter. I’d love to create a positive, nurturing environment for your child. Please feel free to reach out—thank you!

Nia $50 per hour for 1 child

My full birth name is Nia Jade Colbert, but no one calls me Nia—please call me Jade. As an Executive Assistant, it has been a joy and privilege to support, teach, guide, and provide a sense of protection and stability for my executives’ children. Over the years, I’ve managed households, offices, automobiles, travel logistics, and business operations, but nothing has been more fulfilling than being entrusted with helping oversee the well-being of their children and pets. My approach is simple: I see myself as my executives’ children’s Executive Assistant as well. After all, they are the future leaders of our country. I strive to foster creativity, service, support, safety, health, and love while encouraging them to grow into the people they are meant to become. I am a Christian and a Republican, and I respect every person’s God-given free will to seek their own faith and path. I believe in leading by example, treating others with kindness, respect, and integrity. I’m probably transparent to a fault. I live a very structured life, and I find fulfillment in meeting new people, building meaningful connections, and embracing experiences that challenge me to grow. I already have a very reputable top-tier job in finance during the work week and hoping to save money faster to purchase a home to take care of my family. I am also a proud mother of a 22-year-old son with special needs. God bless everyone. 💛🌅🇺🇸
