Booked by 1 family in La Crescenta, CA

Hi! I’m Ashly, a 19-year-old babysitter with 5+ years of experience working with kids from 4 months to 10 years old. I’m currently studying Early Childhood Education at LACC with a focus on Montessori and Reggio Emilia approaches. I really believe in letting kids learn through creativity and play. I started babysitting when I was 13 and have always loved working with children. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I also work weekday mornings at My Gym, where I help run kids’ fitness classes. I know some basic gymnastics skills and can definitely teach your little ones a few fun moves if they’re interested! I don’t drive yet, but I have reliable transportation and I’m currently training to get my license. I’m super dependable, patient, and always happy to help with routines, learning, or just keeping your kids busy and safe. Can’t wait to meet your family!

Booked by 12 families in La Crescenta, CA

Hi ! I am a 25 year old sitter, with two years of experience caring for infants and 1 year caring for two toddlers and have occasionally cared for kids ranging from 4 - 11. I am CPR certified, have both a clean background check and clean driving record and I speak english and Spanish. I can be ocasional, part time or full time. I am young, energetic and love to be around kids! Their safety and happiness is always my number one priority but also making them feel comfortable and excited to be around me as I always want the kids to not dread having to leave their parents side and thinking of me as a scary stranger. My hope for every parent that meets me is that they can feel my good energy and trust that they are leaving their kids in the right hands and that I will take care of them as if they were my own blood.

Wendy was punctual and asked lots questions for clarification . The girls was comfortable with her and I will definitely book again .

Love taking the kids outside everyday and on adventures to the library-park-music class/story time, prepare fun activities to help develop and achieve milestones. I enjoy doing arts and crafts ( went to Architecture and Engineering school ), singing, dancing, reading with children and the list goes on. I am a super easy going, hands on, reliable- sweet nanny. I also provide overnight care as well for many families. I am looking to connect with families for babysitting-overnights and weekends. I am working full time 7-3 pm for now but that could change so open to talking about potential full time positions as well.

We absolutely loved having Marta as our sitter. She started watching our son when he was 1-2 years old and he loved spending time with her. We always loved how Marta truly engaged with our son. Marta is professional, communicative, and excellent at following routines. Highly recommend her for any family.

Booked by 2 families in La Crescenta, CA

Hi, I'm Malia! I am 30 years old and have been working in childcare since 2011. I spent the last 3 years as a nanny for a family caring for the children from 4 months-3 years old. Before that, I spent 5 years working as a substitute teacher at an early childhood education center where I worked with infants through Pre-K classes. I graduated from Portland State University in 2019. I love to go on walks, explore parks & neighborhoods, dance, sing, play guitar, read, and bake. Creativity and mindfulness are very important to me. I am hoping to share my care and optimism with your children and whole family. I am currently available for occasional sitting as well as flexible week to week schedules.

Mailia was great, upbeat, professional and helpful

"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)."
