Hello, my name is Roksanda. I’m a responsible, reliable, and flexible nanny with years of childcare experience. I’m currently working as a substitute teacher for LAUSD. I have First Aid and CPR certifications. I’m a non-smoker and have a clean driving record. I enjoy working with children, and am committed to promoting children’s physical, mental, and emotional development in collaboration with parents. I believe I’m a great fit for caring for your child as I am patient, caring, and compassionate. Thank you

“Roksanda was fantastic with our two kids. They enjoyed engaging in activities with her. She was on time and communicative and went above and beyond, washing dishes and folding laundry when she wasn't asked to.”

Hi! I’m Mia. I’m new to the urbansitter app, I’m a high school graduate, and I am looking to build up my childcare experience to become a full-time nanny in the future. I genuinely enjoy being around kids, teaching, and nurturing their growth. I have hands-on experience working with children of all ages, from toddlers all the way up to early teens. I pride myself on being incredibly patient, attentive, and responsible. In my free time, I am a very outgoing person who loves hiking and traveling. I am completely flexible and available for all hours, including last-minute backup care and weekend shifts. I look forward to meeting your family!

“Mia was so helpful and attentive to my son’s need. She followed the itinerary I provided, and did everything I asked. She is so sweet and understanding, my son LOVES HER! Already booking her again for the coming week. She is great with kids!! ”

"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)."
