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. :)

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

Hello! My name is Janelle and I have been a childcare provider for 6 years now. I've cared for multiple families with kids ages 3 months - 14 years. Jobs included playtime outdoors and indoors, crafts, driving or waking them to and from school, help with homework and online learning, meal prep, morning routines, bedtime routines, light housework, and even pet care. I grew up in a big family taking care of my younger sister and my many cousins. Additionally, I have taught dance, voice, piano, and theatre over the last 10 years, so I've been working with youth for some time in many different contexts. I am currently located in the Mount Washington area of Los Angeles. I'm up to date on all of my vaccines. I am also an actor and musician, so if your child happens to be interested in the arts, this is an especially good fit! Child care is my day job of choice because I genuinely love children. They keep my spirits high and fill me with purpose. Watching them grow, and playing a part in their upbringing has been the greatest, unexpected gift since I started this journey. Thanks for taking the time to read! I look forward to meeting you and your family! :)

Janelle is wonderful! She was on time, super communicative, and really kind. I receive credits for urban sitter through work, and since I don't have kids was looking for someone to do some housekeeping. She did a great job and we look forward to having her back!

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.

I’ve dedicated my life to working with children and families—from fostering for four years in Nevada to supporting children with autism through Autism Learning Partners and LAUSD as a Behavior Technician. I’ve provided in-home specialized care, taught basic skills, and nurtured kids’ growth through reading and art. As a Lyft/Uber driver, I also safely transport kids and seniors. I’m passionate about what keeps people engaged, and I bring warmth, creativity, and attentive care to every role.

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

"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)."
