Olivia
Booked by 1 repeat family
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Hawthorne, CA

Hey there! My name is Olivia and I am a professional nanny and family assistant located in Los Angeles. I’ve been working as a nanny for about 10 years and have experience with children of all ages (infants, toddlers, elementary-school, middle-school). Over 5 years of those were working full-time for various high-profile families in San Francisco. Given my experience as a family assistant, I am eager to help out in any way your family needs—whether it is organizing, doing dishes, cooking meals, or doing laundry. I have my B.A. magna cum laude in English and Comparative Literature from UCLA and my MFA in Creative Writing from SJSU. Before my return to nannying, I worked as a 6th-12th grade English teacher in Palo Alto. That said, I can also offer basic tutoring or homework help for your child. I am happy to match your family’s style as needed. Generally, I use a RIE/respectful parenting approach when providing childcare (I have a RIE certification for nannying). I can provide household duties as needed (cleanup, laundry, errands, etc.) I also have a reliable car that I can use for childcare duties if need be. I am also a huge animal lover and open to pet care/pet sitting as needed! I look forward to meeting you!

Paula $32 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Paula, and I’m a psychologist in my home country and a bilingual (English/Spanish) caregiver with over 8 years of experience supporting families here in Los Angeles. I have cared for newborns, babies, infants, toddlers, and older children, and I truly love helping little ones learn, grow, and thrive in a safe, loving, and nurturing environment. As a mother, I combine my professional background with real-life parenting experience to provide attentive, individualized care. I enjoy supporting children’s development through tummy time, sensory play, language stimulation, reading, outdoor activities, creative play, introducing solids, and maintaining healthy feeding, sleep, and daily routines. I have American Heart Association Pediatric CPR & First Aid training, a reliable car, a clean California driver’s license, and excellent references, which I’d be happy to share. Families describe me as calm, dependable, patient, and deeply committed. I believe in building trusting relationships with both parents and children while respecting each family’s routines and parenting style. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I would love the opportunity to support your family and care for your little one!

"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)."
