Booked by 1 family in Gardena, CA

I am a compassionate and responsible individual with extensive experience and childcare, having care for siblings, cousins and families, friends children over the years. My hands on experience has allowed me to develop strong skills in providing age, appropriate activities, maintaining a safe a safe environment, and offering emotional support to children various ages. I understand the importance of patience, communication, and creating a nurturing environment, where children can feel secure and happy. My goal as a nanny is to provide loving and attentive care, ensuring that each child, physical, emotional, and social needs are met while fostering a positive and fun atmosphere. In my spare time, I like to go to the gym, catch up with my siblings and spend time wanting to learn something new. My goal as a nanny is to provide loving and attentive care, ensuring that each child, physical, emotional, and social needs are met while fostering a positive and fun atmosphere. Feel free to contact me for any further questions. I would love to hear back from you.

This young lady cared for our child from the age of two months until our child was three years old, and she did an exceptional job. She was outstanding in every aspect of care, including preparing meals, ensuring daily walks and park outings, and providing educational activities such as teaching our child Spanish. Most importantly, she consistently respected and followed the boundaries we set as parents with great care and professionalism. Entrusting someone with our child is not something we take lightly, and she exceeded our expectations in every way. We highly recommend Ruth to any family seeking a reliable, attentive, and trustworthy caregiver.

Nadtine Los Angeles

Booked by 1 family in Gardena, CA

Hi! My name is Nadtine. I’m currently in nursing school and also work as a behavioral technician, where I’ve gained years of experience working with children of different ages and personalities. I have over 5 years of paid childcare experience working with kids ages 4 and up, and I’m BLS and CPR certified, and I have experience in ABA as a behavioral technician. Growing up as the oldest sibling with three younger brothers taught me patience, responsibility, leadership, and how to keep up with lots of energy! I also grew up playing soccer and other sports, so I love staying active, playing outside, and creating fun activities for kids instead of just relying on screens all day. I’m very clean, organized, dependable, and comfortable around pets. Kids naturally tend to warm up to me quickly because I’m caring, energetic, and easy to talk to. Whether it’s helping with homework, bedtime routines, meal prep, sports, crafts, or simply making sure your child feels safe and supported, I always do my best to create a positive and fun environment. I truly love working with children and look forward to building great relationships with both kids and parents. I can’t wait to meet y’all!

$18 per hour for 1 child

I've been babysitting for 10 years. At a young age, I started babysitting. I help raise my niece's and nephew's. I'm very good with kids. I make a great connection with them. I can help them with homework, learn new things for their growth and playtime. I took care of a 97 year old lady with dementia for about two years in her home. I feed her, help her change clothes, and kept her house clean. Lastly, I currently have a cat that I have had since he was a newborn. he's very well groomed and very healthy. I also help my friend with her dogs. I take them on walks, they eat twice a day and I play with all the animals.

"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)."
