Natalie $29 per hour for 1 child

I’m a deeply compassionate nanny and educator with over fifteen years of experience caring for children of all ages, with a special focus on infants and toddlers. I hold a Master’s degree in Education and am a graduate of Loyola University Maryland and the University of Illinois . My approach is child-led and rooted in observation, allowing each child’s interests to guide learning, play, and daily routines. I’ve worked as an assistant director at a Montessori-inspired farm school and as a full-time nanny here in California for an infant and a toddler. I’m fluent in Spanish, a musician, and I love incorporating music, art, and time outdoors. I care deeply about children’s emotional well-being and strive to create calm, nurturing environments where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to grow.

Bahia $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Bahia, a recent art graduate from UC Santa Barbara and a longtime childcare provider. I’ve been babysitting for 5+ years and have also worked as an art educator, camp counselor, and Art Director, so I’m very comfortable caring for kids of different ages and personalities. I love finding creative ways to keep kids engaged, whether that’s painting and crafts, going outside, playing games, helping with homework, or coming up with a fun project together. I’m happy to follow a family’s routine and am also comfortable taking initiative and planning activities when needed. I’m responsible, patient, organized, and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. I also have experience working with groups of children, managing activities, and creating a safe and welcoming environment. I’d love to get to know your family and become someone you can feel comfortable relying on!

Nicole $24 per hour for 1 child

Born and raised in Tampa, Florida with roots from Cuba, I bring a warm and family oriented spirit to every home. I interned as an audio engineer in Manhattan New York for 2 years. I have four nieces and nephews ranging from 1 to 18 years old, so caring for children feels second nature. I’ve babysat in Calabasas, work at a children’s store near Beverly Hills. I’ve been in Los Angeles for 5 years and hold current CPR and First Aid certifications. I’m patient, playful, and love teaching, learning, and creating fun activities. Outgoing and encouraging, I bring both a girly touch and a tomboy energy that helps me connect with every kind of child and I love animals!

"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)."
