Hi, and thanks for stopping by! I have many years of experience working with high-net-worth and high-profile families in Los Angeles. I’m TrustLine registered and have been thoroughly vetted by some of LA’s top nanny agencies. I currently work as a full-time, rotational live-in nanny in Montecito on a three-weeks-on, three-weeks-off schedule. During my off weeks, I’m happy to support local families needing occasional help. My schedule is guaranteed through the end of the year. I look forward to connecting!
Hello my name is Kandice and I’ve been working with UrbanSitter for the last 12 years and have worked with so many wonderful families! I currently teach 3rd grade in SFUSD and absolutely love working with children. I hope that we can work together in the near future! Thank you for the consideration and I look forward to speaking with you!

Hi there! My name is Monica. I have about 7 years paid experience in babysitting and been babysitting family members on and off since high school. I am also certified in First Aid/ CPR/ AED. I love kids. I enjoy watching, playing as well as teaching them. I love to nurture their interests and development whichever way they chose. Listening to their silly story and witnessing their small milestones are definitely some of my favorite most rewarding things as a sitter! A little more about myself, I grew up drawing a lot of cartoon characters and many of the kids I sit love and enjoy their drawing/coloring session with me! Aside from working, I love going on a hike. Always looking forward to going to the National Parks, or the next glacier trip. Currently, I’m babysitting kids ranging from 1 year old to 11 years old whenever my schedule permits. My schedule is flexible since I work from home. I also tutor, specializing in math. I will charge a different rate per discussion. For older kids, pick up & drop off, rates may vary. Minimum 4hrs of booking. If booked under 4hrs, $5/ per hour additional charge would be added. Safety and communication is my top priority! Love dogs and cats! I’m vaccinated and boosted, and I DO NOT work with sick children. My calendar is not always updated, so please do message me for availability. Please feel free to reach out to me for any questions. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you!
“Highly recommend! Great communication, punctual, considerate, and provided great energy to make kids comfortable.”
Hi, my name is Tatia. I am very energetic, organized, dependable, and genuinely caring. I love spending time with children, creating fun activities, and helping them learn and grow at the same time. Over the years, I have worked with children of many different ages in both daycare and educational settings. I previously worked at the daycare center at RefugeeOne, where I cared for groups of children ages 1–11. I also volunteered as a tutor for middle school students, helping with English, math, and science homework. In addition, I spent two months doing service work at a daycare center in San Jose, Costa Rica, and worked for about three years in the after-school program at Lycee Francais de Chicago (French school) with children ages 3–5. Professionally, I have spent the last several years building my career in property management and operations leadership. I am currently in between career transitions and taking time to thoughtfully decide on my next long-term professional move. During this period, I would love to return to working with children through occasional and part-time babysitting, as it has always been something I genuinely enjoy and find fulfilling. I am CPR/First Aid certified and pride myself on being patient, attentive, responsible, and engaging with children. My philosophy is to keep kids active, entertained, safe, and supported so they feel comfortable and have fun while parents feel at ease. My schedule is currently very flexible, and I am available for occasional, part-time, evening, and weekend babysitting opportunities. Please feel free to contact me if you would like references or recommendations from previous families I have worked with — I would be happy to provide them. Please note: 2-hour minimum.
