Juliane $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Julie, and I’m a dedicated, patient, and energetic nanny with over two years of full-time childcare experience. Before becoming a nanny, I worked as an ESL teacher for children ages 4–14, where I developed a love for helping kids learn and grow through engaging, age-appropriate activities. I’ve cared for infants, toddlers, twins, and school-aged children, supporting everything from developmental milestones and language skills to homework, creative play, and daily routines. I’ve also worked alongside occupational and speech therapists, reinforcing children’s goals at home with consistency and encouragement. I believe every child deserves to feel safe, valued, and confident. I strive to create a nurturing environment filled with learning, creativity, and fun while maintaining clear communication with parents. I’m CPR & First Aid certified, fluent in English, and always bring a positive, reliable attitude to every family I work with. I look forward to finding a family where I can make a meaningful, long-term impact!

Booked by 10 families in Acton, CA

Hello! My name is Shanna - I like to tell the kids it rhymes with banana. I'm a creative freelancer with a focus in writing and production, but I love to lean into my nurturing side to watch pets and kids as well. I have been watching children since I was about 12 years old, after my first Red Cross babysitting class. I love animals and children and devote much of my time and energy to them. I have a huge interest in health & wellness and I keep an active lifestyle. I am especially helpful with reading and writing related homework and I love to do crafts with the kids. Whether we are playing a board game, coloring, being active outside, or doing "kiddo yoga", my babysitting nights are always full of laughter and smiles. The greatest reward is the smile on a child's face and a grateful hug goodnight. I love to see them learn, grow, and become filled with wonder. I have experience with all ages, from infants to playful toddlers to angsty pre-teens. I intend to have children of my own one day, but for now I'd like to help your family and share the love I have to offer with yours! *Clean driving record *Brand new clear recent background check *I don't drink alcohol at all and am in good health - I'm never going to show up to the job hungover or exhausted from partying. *Need help with light organizing, folding kids laundry, supervision during a birthday party, washing bottles? I've got you. *My work background and skill set also aid in my ability to communicate well, establish clear boundaries while respecting that of others and encourage children's body safety and consent (I'm not the type to force a kid to hug me and allow them to seek comfort or offer as appropriate.) I feel competent in helping with homework and especially love to help teach reading, writing, and some sciences. I have a very creative side, helping kids with things like creating our own story book or custom made flash cards. *Glowing references available. My babysitting and pet care clients have been loyal and trust me in their homes with their loved ones. They'd be happy to speak to you about my character. Note: As of 2026, I also have a certification in nonviolent crisis intervention, specifically to support those with mental or emotional disabilities and have worked with clients with autism, adhd, ocd, and grief or depression.

Annazette $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a fun, responsible mom who truly understands how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your family. I love creating a positive environment where kids feel safe, happy, and entertained. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, doing crafts, reading, or planning fun Disney-style days full of imagination and laughter, I enjoy keeping kids engaged while also helping maintain their routines. I’m patient, dependable, and naturally nurturing. As a mom myself, I understand how much trust parents place in someone caring for their children. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks like tidying up, organizing, meal prep, or running small errands to make busy family days a little easier. I also enjoy spending time with seniors and providing companionship, helping with everyday tasks like cooking, light cleaning, organizing, or simply being there for conversation and support. I truly enjoy helping families feel supported and at ease knowing their loved ones are in good hands. If you’re looking for someone caring, reliable, and fun who treats your family with kindness and respect, I would love to get to know you and your family. Also I have a 6 year old daughter who loves to meet new friends so if it’s an option to bring her along then that would be amazing !!

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
