Hi parents! 😊 My name is Nancy, and I’d love to help with your childcare, senior care, or pet care needs! I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and creating a fun, engaging, and comfortable environment for them. I love getting kids involved in activities such as reading, coloring, board games, arts & crafts, and other age-appropriate activities. I also have tutoring experience and have volunteered with a nonprofit organization supporting children from underserved communities through after-school programs. I’m also a big animal lover and am happy to care for both cats and dogs! A little about me: I have a BA in Business Administration and Documentary Film Production. I’m also fluent in Spanish. I’m responsible, caring, patient, and always strive to make sure both children and parents feel comfortable and confident in my care. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I’d love to connect and see if I’m a good fit for your family! Thank you, Nancy

Peace! My name is Jaime, and I am a dedicated nanny/babysitter. I have over 5 years of experience working with families as a nanny, doula, postpartum work and more. I have gained the reputation that I am responsible, energetic, a great listener, open-minded, & have a free spirit approach. Growing up in a fairly large household has led me to babysit most of my teenage and adult life. Additionally, I am well experienced with children from infants to toddlers and up! I’m CPR certified, have a license, am a certified full-spectrum doula, as well as a certified Reiki Practioner and am a Holistic Nutritionist currently studying for the board exam. As a doula, I care for pregnant moms on their spiritual journey into motherhood, as well as helping postpartum, and as a Reiki healer, I give energy healing to mothers! I’m currently open to help a family FULL TIME with ages from newborn -5 years old.

Hi ! I am a 25 year old sitter, with two years of experience caring for infants and 1 year caring for two toddlers and have occasionally cared for kids ranging from 4 - 11. I am CPR certified, have both a clean background check and clean driving record and I speak english and Spanish. I can be ocasional, part time or full time. I am young, energetic and love to be around kids! Their safety and happiness is always my number one priority but also making them feel comfortable and excited to be around me as I always want the kids to not dread having to leave their parents side and thinking of me as a scary stranger. My hope for every parent that meets me is that they can feel my good energy and trust that they are leaving their kids in the right hands and that I will take care of them as if they were my own blood.

Hi! My name is Cristina E., and I would love the opportunity to care for your children. I have over 16 years of experience working with children in both general education and special education settings through Los Angeles Unified School District. I have worked as both an instructional assistant and a special education teacher, giving me experience supporting children of all ages, abilities, and personalities. I am currently pursuing my teaching credential in History education. As both an educator and a parent, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and dependable. I adopted my 4-year-old nephew two years ago, which has made childcare even more meaningful to me. Safety is always my top priority, while also making sure children feel supported, engaged, and comfortable. I enjoy helping with homework, planning fun and educational activities, and creating a positive environment where children can learn, laugh, and feel safe. My playful and caring personality helps me connect easily with kids from all backgrounds. I am bilingual, have reliable transportation, and a valid driver’s license. Thank you for considering me — I would be honored to support your family! Best, Cristina E.

“Cristina was absolutely wonderful. From our first conversation, she was professional, responsive, and thoughtful. She took the time to get to know my son beforehand and made me feel completely comfortable as a parent. She arrived on time, communicated throughout the day, and was engaging, patient, and attentive with my 4 yr old son. It was clear she genuinely enjoys working with children and understands how to connect with them through play, conversation, and activities. As a single dad, trust and reliability are incredibly important to me, and Cristina exceeded my expectations. I would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to other families looking for dependable, caring childcare.”

"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)."
