Sarah played, walked and fed my very choosy 6 mo old, he even ate with her which is rare for anyone he doesn’t know/trust. Baby was happy and I re-hired Sarah multiple times.

Hi families! My name is Nathaly, and I’m based in Santa Monica. I have a background in international relations and human rights, and I’ve spent many years working to make the world a more fair and inclusive place. Alongside that work, I’ve always had a deep love for caring for children. I bring a calm, nurturing presence and truly enjoy helping kids learn, play, and grow in a safe and loving environment. Whether it’s reading stories, exploring the outdoors, or creating fun activities together, I always try to encourage curiosity and kindness. I’m also multilingual — I speak English, Portuguese, and Spanish. If you’re looking for someone dependable, warm, and thoughtful to care for your little ones, I’d love to connect!

Náthaly made our first time using UrbanSitter a very positive experience. She was fantastic! Punctual, professional, and very reliable. Our son loved how engaged and patient she was, and we appreciated her thoughtful, calm approach. We felt completely at ease and have already booked her again.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
