Hi! My name is Jenna and I'm available for child care! I've recently graduated from USC and am now attending UC Hastings! I have years of experience with children - as I used to nanny in Los Angeles while I was a student - with children anywhere from 1-15 years old as well as with multiple children. I enjoy outdoor activities (running, hiking, snow sports, etc) as well as arts and crafts and fun games! If you have any more questions, please feel free to contact me.

“Jenna was great, she jumped right in with my 7 and 3.5 year old. She updated me on how the evening was going once they went to bed. I would have Jenna babysit again and would recommend her!”

Experienced Nanny | 20+ Years | Bilingual (English/Spanish) | CPR Certified I’m a caring, patient, and reliable nanny with over 20 years of childcare experience and a genuine love for children. I love seeing the world through their eyes, the excitement of seeing things for the first time and their strong desire to learn. My goal is to help them grow and explore in a safe, comfortable environment. I’ve been babysitting since age 13 and nannying professionally since my early 20s, caring for children from newborns to age 12. My experience includes overnight shifts with newborn twin girls (feedings, baths, and settling), homework help, school pick-up and drop-off, and meal preparation. I’ve also cared for local children while living abroad and for traveling families, planning beach days and hikes and keeping children safe and engaged in unfamiliar places. I speak with the children in both English and Spanish. With the children, I enjoy reading, music, library visits, park outings, and water activities. I’m also happy to help around the home with children’s laundry, dishes, meal prep, and light housekeeping. I’m hardworking, proactive, and independent, and I multitask well while completing requests on time. Parents can count on me to be dependable, communicative, and attentive.

Hi, My name is Deb. I'm 47, and I am extremely responsible and reliable. Over the years, I've had many experiences with people of all ages as well as animals. This includes children and seniors to dogs, cats and even birds. I love connection and play and am a very loving, supportive and kind person who cares deeply about the people, animals and houses I take care of. If this speaks to you, please don't hesitate to reach out. I have a fairly open schedule at this moment, and I would love to help!

Amy $23 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am an aspiring elementary teacher, and am currently substitute teaching Mondays- Fridays. I am primarily looking for caregiving jobs that coincide with typical school break schedules (i.e full time gig in the summer, winter break, spring break, etc). I love kids, and am great with pets as well. I also enjoy cooking as my main passion/ hobby outside of education, so I am more than capable of helping with meals/ meal prep. Please reach out if my availability/ skill set aligns with your family’s needs!

"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)."
