Megan $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Megan - I was born and raised in Torrance, CA. I am an online college student and I truly enjoy caring for children! I have 4 siblings (all older brothers) and my family owned a large preschool up until very recent so I grew up around a lot of kids! I have worked for several families taking care of kids from ages 6 months to 12 years old. I would describe my personality as caring, thoughtful and loving. I like working with kids because it really makes me happy to be a part of their growing up. I'm looking for a job that I can make a difference in a family knowing their child is being well taken care of I started working with kids when when I was about 14 years old babysitting and also helping in my mom's preschool. In my spare time, I like to go to the gym, go to the beach and visit with family and friends. One thing you should know about me is that I am a very loving person who truly enjoys life. I am very family oriented and enjoy every day to the fullest. My skills include being patient, fun and caring.

Aidde $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi there, my name is Aidde, and I am looking for my next full-time family! Unfortunately, my current nanny family is moving, and I hope to be able to care for your little one with as much love and care as I did for all my former little ones. I graduated from California State University with a bachelor’s in Science and tutored extensively, particularly helping little ones with math and reading. This is predominantly how I began my career as a nanny! I have worked in this industry for the past 7 years specifically with babies as little as four months and often with two or three more children in one household. Examples of areas I have worked include Pacific Palisades, Malibu, Manhattan Beach etc. I am comfortable transporting the children to school or extracurricular activities, along with any cooking or meal prepping that needs to be done. Traveling with the family is another example of the help I am able to provide, along with overnight stays, either local or while on vacation. I am very flexible with start times and end times; I often work long shifts, date nights, weekends, and holidays. Other services I am able to provide, include help with the laundry for the entire family, loading and unloading dishes from the dishwasher, organizing the fridge and pantry, grocery store trips, and more. I love animals and have often helped to care for them while the family is on vacation. I am CPR certified and possess all covid vaccines/booster shots. As a nanny, I love to incorporate my experience in education by helping them learn to read before they begin school, along with a second language. It is very important that children learn from a young age to set aside a small amount of time to study and learn; for example either learning how to blend sight words or learning the basics of biology. I can help make it fun and easy!

Nathalie $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nathalie I love being a babysitter and in general caring for older people. Since I was little I grew up taking care of my brothers and family members. I’ve watched new borns, infants,toddlers and kids. My responsibilities have included driving to school/from school and helping my family in many errands throughout the day. Im a very clean person and love to be organized. As in also I’ve cared for senior people I have a lot of patience. I’ve cared for my grandma and with time have valued the time I have with her and think they all deserve to be taken care of as well and be heard. I know how to cook it’s a passion I have, I have a lot of experience in helping in homework with kids as I do with my little brother. I love to play outside with kids as sport activities or even in doors with puzzles or toys they like. I have a warm heart for kids and believe they should always have someone to be able to help them and care for them. I will make sure your kid has there homework and learns more than school work is provided. My goal is to make them feel safe and loved by taking care of them and helping them out in tasks with all the patience I have. I can also drive to any appointment or do other tasks! I’m available to even meet up so you get comfortable to know me in person :) Thank you

"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)."
