Stacy $32 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Stacy, and I am a Newborn Care Specialist, Mother-Baby CNA, and BSN nursing student. I specialize in newborn care and helping families adjust during the first weeks and months after bringing their baby home. I have over six years of experience caring for mothers and newborns in Labor & Delivery, Postpartum, and NICU, along with several years of private newborn care. I have experience caring for healthy newborns, premature infants, twins, and babies with reflux. My responsibilities include bottle feeding, diaper changes, swaddling, soothing, safe sleep practices, umbilical cord and circumcision care, and keeping parents updated with detailed shift reports. As both a healthcare professional and a mom, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your baby. I am BLS and Fire Safety certified, bilingual in English and Spanish, and available for overnight, daytime, occasional, or long-term newborn care. I look forward to supporting your family during this special time!

Maya $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Maya and I’ve been working with babies, kids, seniors and teens with intellectual disabilities since I was 16 years old. I have experience babysitting newborns, nannying toddlers and children, volunteering at convalescent homes and being a teachers assistant to special needs high school classes. Some fun facts about me: I love roller skating, arts and crafts, swimming, hiking and reading - I even spent many years in charge of pajama story time for kids at my local bookstore. I have lots of energy and love being around kids of all ages. I’m very comfortable running errands, doing pick ups/drop offs and cleaning/organizing. I also love animals of all kinds and would be happy to pet sit anytime! I am a native English speaker and conversational in both Spanish and Portuguese :)

Paige $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m Paige, a dedicated and experienced childcare professional from Los Angeles with over a decade of experience as a nanny and a strong background in Early Childhood Education. I have worked as an Infant and Toddler Teacher in a play-based preschool, where I applied principles from RIE, Montessori, and Reggio Emilia philosophies to create nurturing, engaging, and developmentally appropriate environments. Specializing in infant and toddler care, I bring a patient, calm, and compassionate presence to every family I support. I believe in creating safe, stimulating spaces where little ones can thrive and feel secure. With exceptional multitasking abilities, strong communication skills, and a deep understanding of early childhood development, I am committed to providing attentive, loving care tailored to each child's unique needs. I look forward to bringing my passion, knowledge, and dedication to a family seeking a trusted and nurturing caregiver.

"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)."
