Abigail Los Angeles
$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 Los Angeles
$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 Los Angeles
$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.

Caitlyn Los Angeles
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Caitlyn and I am an experienced career nanny. I have experience working in a daycare, live-in positions, and have been with several families over the years both full-time, part-time and occasional date nights. I have worked with infants as young as 4 months and up to 12 years old. I am comfortable with several children at one time. I love building connections with the children I work with and watching them meet milestones, learn and grow. My philosophy as a nanny and caregiver is that we are a team! I am here for you as a parent as much as I am here for the kids. If it's a stressful week I am more than happy to help around the house, run errands, take the dog on a walk, etc. I am super organized and love to tidy up. Whatever you need don't be afraid to ask! Life gets chaotic, especially with ever changing little ones.

I’m patient, dependable, and comfortable helping with playtime, homework, meals, bedtime routines, light cleaning, organizing, and errands when needed. I enjoy doing activities with kids like arts and crafts, movies, games, and outdoor walks, and I always try to make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and entertained. I understand how important trust and communication are when it comes to caring for your children and home, and I always do my best to make things easier for families.

"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
