Canaya $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Harbor City, CA

Hi mamas and papas! 🩷 I am a professional nanny with a big heart for little humans! I’m currently looking to transition from my full-time sales career (last day-Mar 13!) into nannying full-time so I can have more flexibility, freedom, and most importantly follow my true passion of caring for children!! I have a Bachelors in Liberal Studies from CSULB with a concentration in Language Arts (even though math is my favorite subject!). My original plan was to become a full time teacher, I am still working on my credentials, but would now prefer to tutor independently. I spent three years as a substitute teacher and also worked as an RSP assistant, supporting students who needed extra guidance, patience, and time to complete their work. I have four years of experience as a professional nanny. I am also a hands-on auntie of 9 and the primary familial caregiver! I am open to part-time positions, evenings, weekends, and even travel opportunities. I am comfortable caring for children of all ages, abilities, and health needs. Every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and celebrated for who they are!! Also welcoming opportunities for senior care, pet care, and home sitting! (I had a dog that I loved dearly for 12 years and have experience with hospice care for a relative who was battling ovarian cancer for two years) Happy to pass a background check or Livescan! Excited to support families by helping you care for the most important people in your world! I’m flexible and happy to provide discounts for siblings and cash payments! Open to paid working interviews, so we can make sure we are a good fit for each other! **Extremely respectful of dietary restrictions! References available upon request. Looking forward to connecting šŸ«¶šŸ¼

Christina $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! My name is Christina, and caring for children has been my passion for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a family daycare, I was surrounded by the joy and energy of little ones, which inspired me to dedicate my life to early childhood education. With over 15 years of hands-on experience working in our family daycare, I’ve nurtured children of all ages, creating a loving and safe environment where they can learn and grow. I earned my Teacher’s Associate Certificate from UCLA to further my knowledge and skills, and I am currently an infant teacher at a preschool. I truly believe that every child deserves patience, warmth, and encouragement to thrive. My goal is to support families by providing the highest level of care, ensuring that both children and parents feel safe, valued, and supported. I look forward to the opportunity to work with your little ones and be a part of their early learning journey!

"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)."
