Booked by 38 families in La Crescenta, CA

I'm a LA native that has worked with children since I was 14. I'm also a professional dancer but nothing fulfills me like working with kids! I love to incorporate art and expression, but have no problem with laying down rules and running errands. I grew up in a big family and have been with children of all ages since day 1! I have a flexible schedule and competitive rates.

Flannery was the best. So kind and caring with our six month old, on time, flexible, and rolled with the punches when it turned out he had a cold. A calming presence! We're so grateful for her help.

My nanny style is creative and caring with Montessori principles.

Skilled with neurodivergent and special needs (specializes in working with ADHD kiddos) I’m a rockstar at baking and cooking including full family meal prep, intricate birthday cakes and homemade baby food (i have kosher experience). I enjoy planning children’s parties and events and as a dog mom im a certified animal lover. CPR and first aid certified and have experience with food allergies (Epi pen trained).

I am an efficient and enthusiastic Spanish-speaking babysitter who enjoys spending time with children. I have been a babysitter for over 3 years. Although, I practice as a Registered Nurse, I don't ever want to stop caring for children. I adore children.

Excellent sitter. On time, friendly, professional and cool. She was able to connect with my kids immediately and they respected her as well.

Hi, moms and dads, my name is Tanielle and I am a kindergarten teacher. I have several years of experience, from taking care of newborns overnight up until middle aged kids. I absolutely love babysitting because of the relationship I form with the children and their families-it fills me up. I am a fun, loving, compassionate and creative person. I also enjoy cooking, baking, spending time outside, traveling but also enjoy my own company. I am CPR qualified, fully vaccinated and boosted. I have also completed a background check. I am flexible with open availability. Thanks for taking the time to get to know me-hope to meet you soon! *I require a minimum of 4 hours* *FYI regardless if parents return earlier than booked time, I’m still expecting to be compensated all the hours initially agreed upon*

Tanielle was so lovely! I was nervous about leaving our toddler for a wedding, because he can have some separation anxiety, but Tanielle made him feel calm almost immediately and reassured us. Can’t say enough good things about her work!

"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)."
