Booked by 11 families in Hawthorne, CA

Hi families, I’m Sandy, a professional bilingual nanny with over 7 years of experience caring for children from newborns to teenagers. I bring the perfect mix of warmth, structure, creativity, patience, and calm confidence into every home I work with. I have worked with families in New York, The Hamptons, Florida, Puerto Rico, Vermont, Colombia, and China, bringing a global, adaptable, and culturally aware approach to childcare. My approach is centered on safety, emotional connection, developmental growth, and joyful routines. I love creating days filled with reading, music, outdoor play, sensory activities, Spanish immersion, healthy meals, and age-appropriate learning moments that help children feel secure, capable, and excited to grow. I have experience with infant care, toddler routines, school-age children, travel support, busy family schedules, healthy meal prep, children’s laundry, organization, transportation, homework help, potty training, and creating a peaceful rhythm in active households. Families describe me as reliable, loyal, discreet, loving, active, organized, and highly professional. I take pride in being more than a nanny. I become a trusted partner to parents and a steady, positive presence in a child’s life. I am CPR and First Aid certified, fully bilingual in English and Spanish, and comfortable working with families who value high standards, clear communication, emotional intelligence, and exceptional care. If you are looking for someone who will care for your children with love, intention, maturity, and true professionalism, I would be honored to connect with your family.

“Sandy is an absolutely exceptional nanny. She was recommended to me by a friend recently and from the beginning it was clear how talented she is. She immediately got down on my 3 year old’s level and kept her attention all day. She is so kind and engaging that my daughter was immediately smitten. Sandy’s attention was 100% on my daughter the whole time. My daughter often (multiple times per day) asks when Sandy is coming back. There aren’t enough ways to recommend Sandy. She is punctual, reliable, she cooks and speaks multiple languages. Most of all she seems to really enjoy taking care of children. Please do not hesitate to contact me, I would be happy to sing her praises over the phone!”

Booked by 33 families in Hawthorne, CA

Hello! My name is Alondra I am 25 years old. I have been a babysitter and nanny since I was in high school and have experience with newborns-12 year olds, and even twins! My love and patience towards children comes from taking care of my younger siblings being the oldest growing up. I have since then worked as a nanny/ babysitter for multiple amazing families. In addition to the childcare responsibilities, I have also assisted in homework, meal prepping and light housekeeping. Most importantly, I enjoy making long lasting connections and relationships with all the families I work with! It is what I enjoy and cherish the most. Typically with kiddos, I let them lead with their own interests to build rapport and trust but I especially love encouraging creative/imaginary play, hands on learning activities and arts&crafts! I am Fire Safety and First Aid certified. I am fully vaccinated and boosted and live in a fully vaccinated household. A little bit about me: I have a B.A. in psychology from San Francisco State where I also took child development and special education courses! I currently nanny and babysit for two sweet girls who are both almost 2! I like being outdoors, staying active and a book worm! Also love all types of animals! I take a more gentle approach when it comes to the kids I work it. That being said, I am committed to supporting your family and implementing practices that best meet your needs.

“Alondra was so sweet and great with both of my kids (toddler and baby). She was always on time and communicative.”

Hello, my name is Nancy, I have experience because other than being a mother of 4 I was a provider of IHSS which stands for In-Home Supportive Services.

Booked by 19 families in Hawthorne, CA

Hi! I’m Lesley. I’ve cared for children of different ages over the years and have been lucky to build relationships with several wonderful families, including families who have invited me back regularly. I really enjoy getting to know each child’s personality and helping them feel comfortable, happy, and safe while their parents are away. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I’m happy to follow the routines that work best for your family. Depending on your child’s interests, we might spend our time playing games, making crafts, reading, getting outside, or working on homework. I’m also comfortable helping with meals, bedtime, and other daily routines. Alongside babysitting, I’ve worked professionally in business and operations for several years. That experience has made me very organized, communicative, and comfortable handling unexpected situations calmly—but when I’m with children, my focus is always on making sure they feel cared for and have a good time. A little more about me: I love traveling, staying active, exploring Los Angeles, and spending time at home with my two cats. I’m an animal lover and am very comfortable in homes with cats or dogs. I know how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your children, and I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

"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)."
