Booked by 2 families in Downey, CA

Hello, my name is Nomonde, most people call me Nommy. I am a dedicated and experienced nanny with over eight years of professional childcare experience. My passion for working with children began early in life, inspired by my mother, who was also a nanny. Through her example and my own hands-on experience, I’ve developed a strong foundation in creating supportive, engaging, and safe environments for children of various ages. I take a thoughtful, nurturing approach to childcare ,focusing on emotional development, physical activity, and healthy routines. As a Long term full time nanny, certified personal trainer with current CPR and AED certifications, I prioritize the safety, happiness and wellbeing of the children in my care. I also maintain a healthy lifestyle and enjoy integrating those habits into my work, whether through active play, nutritious meals, or encouraging daily structure and routine. Faith is an important part of my life, and I identify as a Christian. I would ideally love to work with a family that shares similar values, where mutual respect, kindness, and integrity are central to the home environment. I treat every family I work with like my own, with warmth, commitment, and care. I build strong, lasting relationships with both children and parents, and take pride in being a consistent, reliable presence in their lives. I am currently seeking a full time nanny position with a family who values experience, trust, and a nurturing approach to childcare. References are available upon request and would be happy to speak to the quality of care I provide. I look forward to the opportunity to connect and learn more about your family’s needs. Best regards, Nommy

Booked by 1 family in Downey, CA

Hi, I’m Dominique! 👋 I’m a 23-year-old UCLA graduate with a genuine love for working with kids. Whether it’s keeping up with energetic toddlers or helping older kids with homework after school, I bring patience, warmth, and a lot of enthusiasm to every sit. I have experience with children ages 1–10 and especially enjoy the toddler and elementary years. There’s nothing better than watching kids learn and grow. As a college grad, I’m also happy to help with reading, basic math, or any homework your little one brings home. Parents can count on me to be attentive, communicative, and always put safety first. I treat every child in my care the way I’d want my own family to be treated; with kindness, structure, and plenty of fun. I’d love to meet your family! 😊 (I do drive as well)

Hi there! I’m a reliable and nurturing caregiver with over 10 years of experience caring for children, seniors, and pets. I’m patient, organized, and truly enjoy helping others feel comfortable and cared for. Families describe me as dependable, warm, and detail-oriented—I always go above and beyond to make sure everyone’s needs are met.

Jannet has been absolutely wonderful with our family. She is dependable, caring, and truly attentive to my child’s needs.

Booked by 2 families in Downey, CA

Hello, my name is Marleen. Although I’m only 19 years old I am very experienced with taking care of children with care and lots of patience. I just got on this app which is why I have few reviews but I’ve been babysitting for about two years now. I am an older sister of three siblings 14, 12, and 9 years old. I have been surrounded with kids/ babies my whole life. At just the age of nine I was in charge of taking care of my siblings. I would and still take care of them on a daily basis. I know that at times things could get chaotic but I am the best fit for that task. I have also babysit for my fellow friends and family members. I could also pet sit if that’s needed. If you need help with chores around the house I’m willing to help too but with a raise. If there is any specific things needed to do I will be gladly to do them. I am very familiar with soccer, track, xc, and basketball as I played all these sports in high school. I love to stay active!

"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

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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)."
