Hello parents! My name is Beata. I’m a sitter/nanny with 13 years of experience caring for children. I’ve worked with infants, toddlers and preschoolers. I am fully present when I’m with a child. I watch them closely, I listen to them, I show them that I’m paying attention and respect them. I am calm and centered, guiding without being critical. I love to create a sense of trust so they feel safe to express their thoughts and emotions. I’m physically fit and love to be active. I enjoy taking the kids to playground and encourage their curiosity while keeping them safe. Outside of work I love to read, go on walks, and taking pictures. I’ve never owned any pet but have been very comfortable working in households with dogs. I hope to hear from you!

Booked by 305 families in West Hollywood, CA

Hello parents! My expertise ranges from newborns, to school aged children, and occasionally preteens. I know how to change diapers and make bottles to prepare healthy snacks and play while learning. From my experiences with children, it seems to me that children tend to easily bond with me as I am fun while providing a sense of trust and security. Family life is my passion as my own family means a lot to me. *I would gladly appreciate if you send me message first describing your needs. I can accept the job without a phone interview should we exchange messages with all the details. Ps.s. Last minute cancelations made within 6 hours of the start time would require payment for three hours of my time.

“Lanae was amazing!! She was on time, so sweet with my newborn, and made me feel completely comfortable from the start. We used her for several nights and she was wonderful every time. She cleaned bottles without being asked and paid attention to all the little details. She even surprised my friend’s little boy with a new toy after he lost his, which was so thoughtful. I felt completely at ease leaving my baby with her and would absolutely recommend her.”

Hi Parents, I'm Sil, a multilingual babysitter with experience working with children of all ages and also with special needs. I love playing games, telling stories, and doing indoor/outdoor activities. My goal is to add value to your child's life, keep them engaged and safe at all times. I simply adore animals and often find myself lost in conversation with them for hours on end. It's truly amazing how much love and joy they bring into our lives. 💜 Can't wait to meet your family :)

“Sil provided a very professional and thorough cleaning service. Would definitely recommend.”

Hi there, I’m Avalon! I am an actor and recently moved to Los Angeles from Manhattan where I attended NYU’s Grad Acting program at Tisch School of the Arts. I spent nearly a decade in Manhattan, where I first moved in 2015 to pursue my undergraduate degree at Fordham University. Soon after my arrival, I started professionally nannying around Manhattan and Brooklyn. Throughout my 10+ years of experience, I have provided for families with a variety of needs. From taking care of a newborns, to after school care, to assisting in household management, I have done it all. I have found that my artistic pursuits as well as my experience in teaching theater school-age children complement my child care work extremely well. I’m known for bringing a lot of joy and play into my time with kids. Further, intuition, imagination and creativity come naturally to me, which allows me to come up with thoughtful and creative solutions for conflict resolution and other obstacles. Feel free to contact me if you think we could be a great fit! I look forward to learning about your family, and sharing more about my experience and approach. All best, Avalon :)

“As brand-new parents using UrbanSitter for the first time, we were naturally a bit anxious when our friend tested positive for COVID and couldn't babysit, but Avalon stepped in on less than 48 hours' notice and put us completely at ease. She is exceptionally friendly, reliable, and communicative, bringing a warm, comforting demeanor that instantly gave us peace of mind. Even though our daughter Kylie slept through the night, knowing she was in such thoughtful and capable hands made all the difference for our evening out. We are so grateful for her help and will definitely be hiring her again!”
