Abigail $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Abby, and I’m a dependable caregiver based in Los Angeles with two years of combined childcare experience, including both family-based and independent care. I’m open to both recurring and one-time roles and value clear communication, consistency, and creating a calm, supportive environment for children. I have experience caring for children ages 4 and up and am comfortable caring for one or two children at a time. I enjoy engaging kids through reading, board games, puzzles, crafts, and educational activities, and I’m comfortable incorporating light, age-appropriate technology when appropriate. I’m patient, responsible, and organized, and I take household routines and guidelines seriously. I make it a priority to stay in touch with parents through regular updates, either in person at the end of care or by text or call, depending on your preference. As a college student at USC, I bring strong communication and organization skills to my work and take reliability and professionalism seriously. My goal is to provide dependable, high-quality care while building positive, trusting relationships with families. I’m happy to connect and see if we’re a good fit.

Chelsea $40 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Chelsea. I am a Los Angeles-based nanny with over 11 years of experience caring for infants and toddlers. After four years, the little one I've cared for is off to Pre-K! I am TrustLine registered, CPR certified, and First Aid certified. I take a RIE approach to childcare that is gentle, respectful, empathetic, and playful. I grew up with an interest in both art and sports, so I'm just as happy sitting down to draw, build, play games, or read together as I am spending the day outside. I enjoy creating thoughtful, screen-conscious days filled with play, conversation, laughter, creativity, and opportunities to build confidence. Whether we're visiting a park, library, museum, or simply enjoying a walk together, I love helping children discover and engage with the world around them. My goal is to provide children with consistent, loving care while giving parents peace of mind. I believe in setting clear, consistent boundaries, encouraging effort, and maintaining a positive and relaxed mindset. I am light-hearted, open-minded, and dependable. I care about being aligned with the families I work with, and I’m open to taking direction. If this sounds like a good fit for your family, I'd love to hear from you. Thank you!

Amanda $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I'm Amanda, I'm 27, I have my own car, and I've been babysitting/nannying since I was a young teenager. I've done school drop offs and pick-ups, packing lunches, playtime at parks and/or indoors, etc. I've had the pleasure of nannying for families with various kids' ages, ranging from 0-10, and I have multiple years of experience caring for and teaching kids with my background in church. I also write music, so I like to bring that creativity to dance parties, making up little songs for tasks, etc.

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 4 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!

“Fantastic and very professional. Highly recommend!”

Jeemin 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in La Crescenta, CA

Hi, I’m Justine (Jeemin is my Korean name). I’ve spent many years living and working inside family homes—as a nanny, a mother’s helper, a household manager, and a personal chef. My love for children has always felt very natural to me, and I followed my passion by studying Early Childhood Education while earning my B.A. in Psychobiology at UC San Diego. During that time, I lived with a professional athlete and cared for his family and baby girl who was born at just 27 weeks. For almost 5 years, I was by her side after she faced six strokes and many developmental challenges. I learned, in a very real and personal way, what it means to show up every day with patience, curiosity, and love—and how constant learning, training and devoted care can help a child grow and thrive. I view my true value as providing full family support. I’m very comfortable stepping into the real, everyday rhythm of a household: early mornings, laundry, dishes, AM/PM routines, last-minute changes, and everything in between. I take a kind, clear approach to childcare: safety first, connection over correction and empathy always. I stay current on modern child development practices and am especially interested in music therapy, physiotherapy, emotional literacy, and play-based learning. In simple terms, I care about how a child feels in their body and heart, not just what they “do” in a day. I'm also a Naturopathic Cook and have been entrusted to prepare nutritious meals for children & entire households.

“Justine is the real deal and honestly we can't put into words how amazing she is. Every morning she walks in and our 9 month old lights up the same way he does when he sees us. It's one of the things I look forward to every day. She puts her stuff down and forgets she even had a breakfast to eat or a tea to make because she's already fully locked in with him and he with her. That's just who she is and it never changes. She cares so much about his development and you can see it in how she approaches everything with him. Justine does not sit still. She's always doing something to make his life and ours easier without anyone asking. She jumps in and just figures it out. We trust her completely with our little one, our home, anything and when our schedule shifts she just rolls with it, no questions. She makes time. Like I said, words do not do her justice. If you're at all hesitant, don't. Shoot us a message, happy to jump on a call and tell you all about her.”

"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)."
