Hi my name is Alyssa. I have been a nanny/babysitter for 18 plus years. I have tons of energy and love children! Being a nanny is truly my passion. I am CPR Certified. I'm bilingual (speak Spanish) I'm looking forward to speaking with you soon! -Alyssa

Alyssa is amazing. She is empathetic, kind and attentive. We just moved to the area and having someone I can trust is so important. My daughter calls her “best friend and baby sister (sitter).” She has helped take her to the park and makes it a point to get her outside each day. We are so lucky to have found her!

Hi my names Isabella and l’m a college student at LAHC with the goal of becoming an oncologist! I’m offering childcare, pet care, house services, tutoring, and driving services. I have experience caring for infants to pre-teens. I have been helping family and friends since I was 14, and I love doing it. I am available to assist with tutoring, meal preparation, transportation (to/from school,practice,etc), laundry, activities, and different crafts, such as painting, gardening, karaoke, neighborhood walks, and movie watching. I’m also comfortable working with pet friendly households. I have my own vehicle which is family friendly and will provide a safe transportation for loved ones, and any groceries etc. It is a 2024 ford bronco. Clean driving record. Smoke free. References available.

Wonderful babysitter experience We hired Isabella, a fantastic babysitter, for our six-year-old, and it was a breeze from start to finish. She arrived on time, was warm and engaging with our son, and quickly built a rapport with him. He came home excited to tell us about the time they spent together. What stood out: Safety and reliability: punctual, communicative, and trustworthy. Shared adventures: they went to Chuck E. Cheese together, where Isabella played games with him. Personal touches: she played his favorite music in the car. Attentiveness: she was very attentive throughout the evening. Communication: gave a full report of everything they did together. Positive, encouraging attitude: our son felt seen, valued, and genuinely happy. Our son can’t wait to hang out with her again, and we will definitely be asking Isabella to watch my son again. Highly recommended!

Hi! My name is Cristina E., and I would love the opportunity to care for your children. I have over 16 years of experience working with children in both general education and special education settings through Los Angeles Unified School District. I have worked as both an instructional assistant and a special education teacher, giving me experience supporting children of all ages, abilities, and personalities. I am currently pursuing my teaching credential in History education. As both an educator and a parent, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and dependable. I adopted my 4-year-old nephew two years ago, which has made childcare even more meaningful to me. Safety is always my top priority, while also making sure children feel supported, engaged, and comfortable. I enjoy helping with homework, planning fun and educational activities, and creating a positive environment where children can learn, laugh, and feel safe. My playful and caring personality helps me connect easily with kids from all backgrounds. I am bilingual, have reliable transportation, and a valid driver’s license. Thank you for considering me — I would be honored to support your family! Best, Cristina E.

Cristina was absolutely wonderful. From our first conversation, she was professional, responsive, and thoughtful. She took the time to get to know my son beforehand and made me feel completely comfortable as a parent. She arrived on time, communicated throughout the day, and was engaging, patient, and attentive with my 4 yr old son. It was clear she genuinely enjoys working with children and understands how to connect with them through play, conversation, and activities. As a single dad, trust and reliability are incredibly important to me, and Cristina exceeded my expectations. I would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to other families looking for dependable, caring childcare.

I have extensive experience in childcare, with a lifelong passion for nurturing and supporting children’s growth. As a caring and loving individual, I have had the joy and privilege of raising my two granddaughters from infancy through their early school years. Through this experience, I developed strong skills in creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment where children can learn, play, and thrive. I am patient, dependable, and attentive to each child’s individual needs — whether it’s helping with homework, preparing healthy meals, organizing creative activities, or providing emotional comfort. Families can trust that their children will be cared for with kindness, respect, and genuine affection.

Hi families! My name is Ashley and I’m so happy you’ve found your way to my profile. Caring for children has been such an important part of my life for the past seven years and it’s so much more than a job to me. It’s truly something I love and feel deeply called to do. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with children of all ages from tiny newborns fresh into the world, to curious toddlers exploring everything around them, all the way up to independent 5th graders discovering who they are. Every stage of childhood is unique and I feel honored to be part of those precious milestones. In addition to my childcare experience, I’m also a full-spectrum doula currently focusing on postpartum care supporting families as they adjust, heal and find their rhythm during those early months with their new baby. Outside of work, I enjoy hobbies that spark creativity and balance: gardening, cooking, reading, sewing, skating and crocheting. If you’re looking for someone who brings not just experience but also heart, I would love the chance to connect with you. Whether your family needs someone to nurture a newborn baby, engage a curious toddler or simply provide an extra layer of support, I’d be honored to help. Childcare is about so much more than watching children—it’s about building relationships, supporting growth and creating a sense of love and stability that children carry with them.

I cannot recommend Ashley highly enough as a childcare provider. I’ve known her my whole life and she has always been naturally gifted at caring for children. She is reliable, professional, and brings a warmth and calm that makes kids feel comfortable and parents feel at ease. What makes Ashley special is her genuine love for what she does. To her, childcare is not just a job but truly a calling. Families can always count on her to be dependable, patient, and caring. I know any child in her care will feel supported, nurtured, and safe. If you are looking for someone with both professional teaching experience and a genuine heart for children, Ashley is someone you can fully trust.

"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
