Nomonde 3 reviews
$35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Gardena, 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

We’ve spent years working with her, and we can confidently say she is amazing in every way. Nommy is ultra-responsible, incredibly trustworthy, and always professional. She creates a warm, fun, and safe environment that our kids absolutely love. Beyond that, she became such a valued part of our lives—her kindness, patience, and genuine care for our children made all the difference. We couldn’t recommend her more!

Booked by 2 families in Gardena, CA

Hello Families! I have been a nanny and babysitter for the past seven years. My journey began as a Kid's Club attendant at an Equinox gym. From there, I built bonds with the children and their parents whom eventually hired me to babysit their children for date nights and day time hours so they can run errands. I eventually became a part-time nanny for a few families resulting in various age groups I would get to play, read, and hang out with. I have experience in newborn, infant care, toddler care. Through my experience, I have built knowledge and stay up to date with appropriate age development. I hold a degree in Recreational Tourism Management. My favorite days as a nanny are park days. My least favorite days are none. That's the best thing about this gig, children never bring about a bad day. I look forward to meeting new families and playing, crafting, reading with children of all age groups.

Booked by 3 families in Gardena, CA

Hi! My name is Sheily, and I’m 24 years old. I started nannying when I was 19 and have worked with children from 4 months to 12 years old. I’m caring, responsible, and love creating a fun, safe, and positive space for kids to grow and learn. I’m very organized and enjoy planning creative activities that keep kids engaged—whether it’s arts and crafts, outdoor games, or helping with school projects. I also assist with homework and make learning fun and encouraging. I have a reliable car and can handle school pick-ups and drop-offs. I’m happy to help with light meal prep, packing lunches, light household cleaning, grocery shopping, running errands, and even walking dogs. I’m looking to work with a family that values reliability, warmth, and open communication. I’d love the chance to meet and see if I’d be a great fit for your family!

“Sheily was amazing with out 18month girl. It’s my first time hiring a sitter, so I was nervous to leave my girl, and how this would work, since my girl has been clingy at this stage. Sheily was able to calm and reassure me and Zoe immediately warmed to Sheily and I was nowhere to be seen! Sheily was attentive and took cues from our girl as to meal, play and diaper times. Such a great first experience with a babysitter that I’m looking forward to seeing Sheily again. If we weren’t simply visiting, I’d want to hire you permanently!”

Milan 2 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Milan, and I offer child care, non-medical senior care, house sitting, errand running and household services. I graduated from Howard University with my bachelor's degree and recently earned my master's degree from University of Southern California. Over the past few years, I've worked in residential life, summer programs, and student support, where I helped supervise students, plan activities, provide mentorship, and create safe, welcoming environments. Those experiences strengthened my patience, communication, and ability to stay calm and organized. For child care, I'm happy to help with homework, reading, arts and crafts, games, bedtime routines, meal prep, transportation, and light housekeeping. I enjoy keeping kids engaged while making sure they feel safe, supported, and have fun. I also provide non-medical senior care and companionship. Whether it's running errands, grocery shopping, meal preparation (I love cooking and baking!) transportation to appointments, light household tasks, or simply providing company, I'm happy to help make everyday life a little easier. In addition, I'm available for house sitting and can bring in mail, water plants, take out trash bins, and help keep your home secure while you're away. I'm dependable, organized, and easy to communicate with. I know how important it is to trust the person coming into your home, and I strive to treat every family with kindness, respect, and professionalism. Please note: I have an allergy to animal fur, so I'm unfortunately unable to work in homes with cats, dogs, or other furry pets.

“Milan has been my babysitter for my four children for the past couple of years, and I have nothing but the utmost respect and admiration for the care and dedication she has shown my family. She has consistently gone above and beyond in every aspect of her role, and I truly cannot recommend her highly enough. One of the things that has impressed me most is her ability to connect with each of my children on an individual level. She helped my son, who was struggling in math, by patiently working with him and encouraging him to stay motivated. Thanks in part to her support, he improved from earning D’s to becoming a B student. Seeing that kind of progress speaks volumes about her patience, commitment, and genuine investment in the children she cares for. Milan is incredibly reliable and dependable. I have always been able to count on her to pick up and drop off my children safely, make sure they arrive at karate and dance classes on time, and keep our family’s schedule running smoothly. Knowing my children are in responsible hands has given me tremendous peace of mind. She is also highly professional. She follows instructions carefully, asks thoughtful questions whenever clarification is needed, and communicates exceptionally well. She keeps me informed, is respectful of our family’s routines and expectations, and consistently demonstrates maturity and sound judgment. Beyond meeting responsibilities, Milan creates a positive, engaging environment for my children. She plans fun, educational activities that keep them entertained while helping them learn and grow. She is kind, patient, and nurturing, while also knowing when to be firm and maintain appropriate boundaries. My children absolutely adore her and genuinely look forward to spending time with her. Milan has been an invaluable part of our family’s support system. Her experience, reliability, professionalism, and genuine love for children make her an outstanding caregiver. I recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for someone they can trust completely with their children.”

"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)."
