Kaitlyn 1 review
$26 per hour for 1 child

I have 4 years of experience working with children, starting out leading reading programs at a local library, which naturally grew into private nannying for families. That background helped me deeply understand household dynamics, respect family boundaries, and manage personalized routines seamlessly. Alongside my hands-on experience, I have completed coursework in Early Childhood Education, giving me a solid understanding of child development, milestone progression, and positive behavior management. I am CPR/AED certified and Live Scan background-checked, ensuring safety and peace of mind for every family I work with. In my current role as an elementary after-school lead teacher, I design and run creative art, hands-on STEM, culinary projects, and outdoor sports. Managing up to 40 kids at a time has made me exceptionally confident in maintaining structure, keeping routines on track, and enforcing household rules. I am also always happy to assist with homework help, healthy snack and meal prep, and light pickup after activities. While I am warm, approachable, and fun, I am always mature, consistent, and focused on keeping children safe, accountable, and engaged. I am also a huge animal lover , completely pet-friendly!

“We are so lucky to have found Kaitlyn on UrbanSitter. She has been absolutely wonderful with our two children, Sloane and Hudson. Both of them can naturally be quite shy, but Kaitlyn is incredibly welcoming and caring with such a warm heart. She knew exactly how to connect with them, which has really helped them come out of their shells and build their everyday confidence. They absolutely adore her and always look forward to seeing her. We highly recommend Kaitlyn to any family looking for a genuinely nurturing nanny!”

James $22 per hour for 1 child

I love working with people in general, but especially with Kids! I used to work with children on the spectrum, and I experienced any and all kinds of behaviours. I have done caregiving before with kids by serving them food, cleaning, helping homework, and play! I love working with pets too and I like to clean the house. But most importantly, I love helping out to wherever I most needed.

Hi my name is Kayla, I am currently a sophomore college student studying to get my BSN. I was a part time nanny for 2 years, those two years were with one family for a baby boy age (5 months- 2 years old. I also have experience nannying for school age kids occasionally for another family. I am always seeking weekend or evening shift babysitting opportunities. I am CPR Certified, skilled in meal prep, creating educational & fun activities, diaper changes, and have my own car. I enjoy creating strong bonds with kids has always been a very important factor in my life, they are always full of joy and create a warm loving feeling to the people they learn to trust.

Booked by 1 family in Acton, CA

I am a recent NYU graduate who studied acting and filmmaking. I've recently moved from NYC to Sunny LA! I love the outdoors, art, fitness, and finding fun new eats in the city. Growing up in a large family myself, and being the eldest girl, I've always loved taking care of children. During my time in NYC I provided childcare for my professors, as well as families in the Brooklyn area! From playing imaginative games, helping with homework, or exploring the city to find things to make them smile, I would describe myself as an experienced, playful, and kind caregiver. I also had many pets growing up, both dogs and cats, and am very comfortable caring or simply being in their presence.

"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)."
