Daniel $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi y'all! My name is Daniel, and I am a 23-year-old recent graduate. I graduated in December 2024 from the University of Northern Colorado with a B.S. in Mathematics, with an emphasis in Middle School Education. A native Coloradan, I relocated to Los Angeles in January of this year and moved in with my long-term girlfriend, who was attending SCA at USC (she graduated this spring semester, yay!). My life and professional experiences have given me the tools and knowledge necessary to provide childcare and household services. I am also open to providing other services. I own (2022 Corolla) and am able to operate a car. I am also great with technology, speak fluent Spanish, and am even willing to offer math tutoring. More info about me below :) As I mentioned earlier, my degree is in middle school math education. Throughout my university program, I completed clinical practices within middle school classrooms and one high school classroom. In the fall semester of 2024, I completed my student-teaching practice, which I credit as my most impactful learning experience in terms of classroom management, pedagogy, and generally aiding kids. I received my initial teaching licensure from the state of Colorado. In Los Angeles, I have done limited substitute work after a lengthy process to transfer my credentials. Although limited in work, I have had the opportunity to work with younger students as I have substituted for first-grade classes and an after-school program that served first- and second-graders. Aside from my teaching experience, I am also a HUGE 'girl-uncle'. I have four nieces and 2 nephews in total, but the youngest are my three nieces. The 11 y/o I babysat weekly during summers in middle and high school when she was a toddler and kid. During the school year, I would watch her after school for a couple of hours before my brother could pick her up after work. The next youngest girls, 4 y/o and 1.5 y/o, I have also babysat in some capacity, but less as I was in college and I have since moved out of state.

Jasmine $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi Moms! My name is Jasmine, and I bring 5 years of experience working with children ages 3months to 6years old and teenagers. I truly love helping little ones grow, learn, and feel safe. A little about me: I'm patient, dependable, nurturing, engaging, and creative. I enjoy planning fun, developmentally appropriate activities like story time, arts & crafts, outdoor play, and sensory learning. Some of my responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even dance lessons. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I'm also calm under pressure and adaptable to each child's unique personality and needs. Languages: I speak both English and Spanish fluently, and I love incorporating language learning into play when appropriate. Certifications: I'm not currently CPR/First Aid certified, but I'm willing to complete certification as needed.

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in La Crescenta, 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!

soraya $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Soraya, and I’m a warm, attentive, and dependable caregiver who brings a calm yet playful energy to every home I step into. I genuinely love children and am passionate about helping them grow through joy, creativity, and structure. I am creative, fun, and chill towards any family I support. I’m very intuitive and love learning what makes each child light up. Whether we’re dancing in the living room, learning something new, or just having a quiet moment, I believe caregiving is about connection, presence, and joy.

"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)."
