Hi, I had two wonderful back to back long term jobs. Those jobs ended when the child started pre-school. I am now looking for a new family. I was a Production Coordinator on Hollywood Films for 20 years. I am naturally detailed oriented, highly organized, and an excellent multi-tasker. I now enjoy babysitting because it allows me to play outdoors with Kids! I love doing creative projects with kids like: arts and crafts, painting, coloring, reading, and Play-Doh. I enjoy being outside, going to parks, beaches and libraries. My hobbies include cooking, home organizing, Pet and House Sitting. 4 Hour Minimum per Booking. I am extremely flexible. I can usually come early and may be able to stay later. If you need a regular schedule, we can do a flat rate. Please let me know if you have any questions. Debbie

Debbie looked after my 22month old daughter over 3 days whilst her daycare was closed. They had the most wonderful time from playing in parks, to visiting local libraries, Debbie was absolutely fantastic and I deeply appreciated how caring and thoughtful she was. Highly reccomend

Hello families! At 46, I’ve been a nanny for 15 years, caring for over 200 families with kids aged 2 weeks to 15 years. I’ve also worked as a teacher assistant at two daycares in Miami, including with children who have special needs or behavior challenges. I love creating a safe and fun environment. Your little ones will not only be taken care of but will also have a great time exploring and learning. Let’s go on this adventure together and make lots of happy memories! 😊💫💚🌈

Hello! My name is Joanna, I’m 28 years old and I’m originally from Poland/Italy. I was an AuPair in America (live in nanny) in 2[removed] and again in 2022-2023. I am CPR certified and trained to always make sure kids are safe. I have lots of experience in taking care of 3 or more kids at the same time and toddlers. I started babysitting around 10 years ago. I am an Italian tutor so I will be happy to teach your kids some new words (I’m fluent in Polish, Italian, English and I’m currently learning Spanish) and help them with homework. I always do my best to encourage kids to spend time in an active way and teach them about healthy lifestyle because I’m also a Personal Trainer and I’m very passionate about fitness. I am extremely reliable, responsible and punctual. I never canceled any of my babysittings and during the years as an AuPair never took an unexpected day off. I love to spend time with children and be a great role model for them. I’m happy to introduce myself better over a quick phone call 😊 + I am also a very strong driver with clean driving record and a reliable, safe car

She was so warm, our kids took to Joanna immediately!! We will definitely be calling her again very soon!

Booked by 13 families in Hawthorne, CA

Greeting Parents, My name is Robyn, and I am 28 years old. I have been passionate about childcare since I was a teen. I first began helping my grandmother with her at home daycare. Even at family gatherings, I was the one happily caring for babies. I am comfortable with changing diapers, feeding, and soothing them to sleep. I truly believe children make the world brighter, and it brings me joy to support their growth and well-being. My major will be early childhood development and minor in communication. I love to teach. I would love to be apart of your family whether is occasionally or full time. Please reach out for further inquiry or questions. Note: I am CPR and First Aid Certified with AED training. I speak English and Spanish.

Robyn was amazing! Super punctual, communicative, patient, and helpful! My kids had an amazing day with her. She not only watched them and kept them safe, but she helped clean up, helped with their laundry, and got my kid to do homework. Highly recommend and can’t wait to have her back.

"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)."
