Booked by 7 families in Hawthorne, CA

Hello, wonderful families! My name is Karlene, and I’m a 36-year-old career nanny with 17 years of childcare experience and 11 years of housekeeping expertise. I would love the opportunity to apply for your position! Throughout my career, I’ve cared for children ranging in age from 1 month to 16 years, including preemies, twins, multiple siblings, and nanny shares. I specialize in key developmental milestones such as sleep training, baby-led weaning, and potty training. Childcare has always been my passion, and my journey began when I helped care for my nephew many years ago. Since then, my love for nurturing and supporting children has only grown stronger. In addition to childcare, I bring extensive experience in household management. I have successfully managed homes with up to three stories and over 10 rooms, ensuring everything runs smoothly with little to no supervision. My housekeeping skills include meal preparation for a variety of dietary needs, including vegetarian, kosher, and nut-free meals. I’m also happy to assist with meal prep as needed. I take pride in being active and engaging with children. I love organizing arts and crafts, helping with homework, and supporting after-school activities such as soccer, swimming, baseball, and football. I’m also skilled in handling school pick-ups and drop-offs, preparing lunches, snacks, and dinners, and ensuring children have a fun and structured day. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, baking, hiking, swimming, camping, and staying active with sports. I am CPR/AED certified, giving families peace of mind when it comes to safety. I’m currently seeking a full-time or part-time, long-term position with the right family. If you think we’d be a good match or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I look forward to the opportunity to connect with you and your family! Thank you so much for your time and consideration. Warm regards, Karlene

Karlene is punctual, observant, and very gentle with our little one. thank you for helping out!

Ashley 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

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.

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.

Hailey 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Hailey!! I have previously worked at preschools and daycares where i’ve had the experience of teaching and setting routines for children. I’ve had experince with newborns as well as ages 3-5. For the newborns we had set routine for their naps, feeding, and a little play time of course! As for the ages of 3-5, We reviewed basic math, science, English, and music skills through games, songs, reading, art projects and workbook practice. I helped with changing diapers, potty training, nap time, and feeding. Worked with children ages 6-12 in an afterschool program, ensuring their safety as they got on and off the bus, helping with homework and providing general supervision.

Hailey is the best! I’ve known her for many years, and she is truly a blessing to this world. She radiates sunshine and positivity and I’ve seen how that impacts her work with children and animals. She is always trying to come from a place of understanding in order to meet a child or an animal’s needs. She always gives her very best, so you will never need to worry about your little bean while you’re away!

Tiffany 1 review
$27 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Tiffany, I’m currently a college student studying Health Science. I offer babysitting, nannying and pet care services. I’ve been working with children for over 11 years, including experience as a daycare assistant and babysitting kids of all ages(Newborns - Teenagers). I truly love creating a safe, nurturing, warm, and fun environment where kids can learn, grow, and just be themselves. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I also have experience caring for children with special needs, including autism, aspergers and ADHD. I’m patient, adaptable, and always try to meet each child’s individual needs. I speak Korean fluently and have some knowledge of Spanish and Japanese, which helps me connect with a variety of families. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, creative activities like crocheting and pottery, and music (I play bass guitar!). I love incorporating crafts, outdoor time, and fun learning activities into my childcare style. I’m happy to help with things like playtime, schedule building, homework, light housekeeping/meal prep, and keeping routines on track. If you have pets I also don't mind pets of any species and size. I became a caregiver because I genuinely enjoy supporting children’s development and being a positive, reliable presence in their lives. Being told "You're the BEST babysitter/nanny ever" brings me so much joy, so I strive to achieve that with every family. I look foward to hearing from you and your family!

Tiffany has been caring for my daughter since she was born. As a premature baby, she required extra attention, and Tiffany was incredibly attentive and quick to learn all of Kaylee's unique needs. Over the years, she's continued to support her growth and development. Kaylee is now 12, and Tiffany has been a consistent, trusted presence in her life.

"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)."
