Nikkita $22 per hour for 1 child

I’m the oldest of six girls, so I’ve been a natural caregiver my whole life. That role really shaped who I am—responsible, patient, and always ready to help. I’ve worked as a caregiver for 11 years, and in 2020 I decided to take that same dedication into my own business by starting a cleaning company. Outside of work, I’m passionate about sports and love getting creative with arts and crafts. Whether I’m helping people, building something from scratch, or staying active, I put my heart into everything I do.”

Paula $32 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Paula, and I’m a psychologist in my home country and a bilingual (English/Spanish) caregiver with over 8 years of experience supporting families here in Los Angeles. I have cared for newborns, babies, infants, toddlers, and older children, and I truly love helping little ones learn, grow, and thrive in a safe, loving, and nurturing environment. As a mother, I combine my professional background with real-life parenting experience to provide attentive, individualized care. I enjoy supporting children’s development through tummy time, sensory play, language stimulation, reading, outdoor activities, creative play, introducing solids, and maintaining healthy feeding, sleep, and daily routines. I have American Heart Association Pediatric CPR & First Aid training, a reliable car, a clean California driver’s license, and excellent references, which I’d be happy to share. Families describe me as calm, dependable, patient, and deeply committed. I believe in building trusting relationships with both parents and children while respecting each family’s routines and parenting style. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I would love the opportunity to support your family and care for your little one!

"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)."
