Hi! My name is Justine. I am 30 years old. I have been babysitting for over a decade and have 5 years of professional nannying experience. I have recently relocated from Chicago to the Los Angeles area. That being said, my experience ranges from working with toddlers to school aged children. I have helped with homework extensively throughout my career. Other responsibilities I have held in the past include cooking meals and shuttling kids to their various activities. I also was in charge of other household duties such as: creating grocery lists, shopping, etc. I am a punctual, professional and hands on nanny. My goal is to create a safe, positive space for children to develop into the best versions of themselves. I am a patient, loving, and committed nanny to all of my kids. Outside of childcare, my interests include reading, self education, cooking, gardening, herbalism, and stopping to sniff the flowers. I look forward to speaking with you, Justine

Hi! I love working with children and I have several years of experience. Throughout my four years of attending college in New York, I worked for a babysitting agency and helped care for children from many different families. Through this experience, I learned how to keep kids engaged and comfortable while we’re together. I love being creative with kids, coming up with fun games to play, helping with homework, etc. :)

I graduated from East LoS Angeles Community college. I received my associates in child development. I just received my bachelors at Cal State LA in Child Development. I used to be a foster mother so I know transitions can be hard for some children. I have two children of my own but they are now in elementary and I am looking to work in taking care of others peoples beautiful children in the process. I am a dog mom as well therefore I don’t mind taking walks around the block with your little one and your fur baby if that is something you’re interested in. Being outdoors and showing children, elderly and pets how beautiful the day is something I enjoy doing. I am familiar with IEP therefore if your child needs extra help by communicating with baby sign language I can help with that. The one thing I like to mention is I know my alphabet in 3 different languages and I find it a fun thing to teach children. Working on cognitive, gros motor and fine motor skills is also an important factor for me that I would love to implement with your child if you are interested. 😊

Hi families! My name is Jenny. Currently 31 years old! I have 10+ years of experience being a nanny. (I can provide with references.) I currently live in Atwater village, very close to Glendale. I love to be active, take kids on walks, go to museums, libraries. I am very organized, clean, responsible and patient. I love play time, learning, and having fun with the littles. I also know how to cook basic healthy meals and can also run errands for families and do light house work such as tidying up the house, make kids beds, clean kids rooms, toys, clean kitchen after meals. etc, I can also do kids laundry if needed. I am reliable and always on time. I strive to make sure my employers and I have a great relationship. I'm a good communicator with a friendly attitude. I'm also very clean and promise to always respect and honor any rules! If interested please respond with job duties, expected hours and schedules, and what you expect as a nanny/ family helper! Thank you so much! *CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE*

“Jenny started working with us when our daughter was only 4 months old. She’s been coming 3x’s a week for over a year and she’s been such a blessing. She’s timely, sweet, cooks amazing fresh meals, and our daughter absolutely LOVES her. They play, read, go out to the park, go for walks, etc. I get several texts daily with updates and pictures, which I love to see while I’m away at work. She speaks Spanish and English with her. I can leave for work with confidence that our daughter will be happy and cared for as if she were her own. We absolutely love Jenny and 100% recommend her to help with your family. We’ve been so fortunate to have her work with us the last 14 months and hope to have her in our lives for many years to come. ”

"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)."
