Booked by 10 families in La Crescenta, CA

I’m a calm, organized, and caring individual with a deep passion for learning. I firmly believe that kindness and understanding our emotions can truly make a difference in the world. As a nanny, I find joy in nurturing children’s growth and development while fostering an environment of warmth, fun, and learning. I am also a RBT, working with individuals in the autism spectrum. Currently, I’m pursuing a career as a pediatric occupational therapist and am in the process of applying to graduate school. I’ve taken specialized courses in human biology, psychology, and child development that have expanded my understanding of how children grow physically, emotionally, and cognitively. I’m excited to continue building on this knowledge while connecting with and engaging children in meaningful ways. I love taking children outdoors to explore parks and nature, helping them develop a sense of wonder and adventure. Watching kids learn, grow, and experience the world around them is incredibly rewarding. I’m happy to provide references from my previous nanny positions and look forward to getting to know your family. Let’s connect and chat about how I can contribute to your child’s development and happiness!

Amanda took care of our daughter for 2 years and was the most incredible caregiver. She's very reliable, hardworking, and has a natural ability to connect with children. I highly recommend her!

Hi- My name is Nai! I started my caregiver journey with watching my siblings and many many cousins. Over the last few years, I have primarily worked with toddlers-school age long term for two families(one including two sets of twins), with tons of short-term jobs in between. I love doing all kinds of activities with the kiddos; including painting, walks in nature and a little jam out session here and there :) In my free my time, I love to make music, reading and be out exploring nature! Willing to discuss and be flexible with rates as needed! Feel free to message me with any questions!!

Hi! My name is Casiana and I 30 I used to be an au pair and I have around 10 years of experience babysitting children ages 3 months to 7 years old. My experience includes not only occasional babysitting but also work as a full-time nanny. It is very rewarding to be with a family for several years and see children grow I have done yoga with kids, arts and crafts, coloring, drawing, painting, read books, took kids to story time at the library, made cards, decorated cookies for Halloween and Christmas, made gingerbread houses, went to doctors appointments, went to mommy and me classes with babies and their moms, took kids to play areas/indoor playgrounds, parks and outdoor playgrounds, scavenger hunts, went to piano recitals, did zoom ballet classes, went swimming in the pool and at the beach, went to the farmers market with kids, grocery shopping and cooking together, you name it: I’ve done it! I have a holistic approach and I like Waldorf, Montessori and gentle parenting philosophies and ideas but I am also flexible and follow whatever guidelines the parents like and advise. My interests outside babysitting include volunteering, community organizing, vegan food (I’ve been vegetarian for over a decade), mindfulness and meditation and I love dogs (I’m obsessed with my pugs lol) I also like reading and started my own book club last year.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
