Hi - my name is Ashley and I’m currently a student at El Camino taking Child Development courses. I’m hoping to one day become a teacher or open an in home care service. I have previously worked as a private nanny/babysitter for a family with infants and toddlers, and have over 3 years of experience.

Hi, I’m Teacher Kayla 🌿 I’ve spent the last eight years working with kids ages 4–11, and I truly love what I do. I bring a playful, calm, and creative energy, with lots of back-pocket games, songs, stories, and activities to keep kids engaged and having fun. We might be building, playing sports outside, acting out stories, reading books, or winding down with mindfulness & deep breathing. I have a college degree, coursework in Early Child Development, experience as a classroom lead teacher, and I’m CPR and First Aid trained. I’m comfortable setting kind, clear boundaries and helping kids get along, follow routines, and feel supported. I keep communication with parents easy and consistent, and I’m happy to help with meals, carpooling, light housekeeping, swimming supervision, travel, and caring for up to three children. My goal is always to create a safe, fun space where kids feel confident—and parents feel at ease.

Booked by 1 family in La Crescenta, CA

Hi - My name is Brittany I've been a nanny for 12 years and I'm bilingual in Spanish and English. I've also been a teacher in a Montessori preschool from ages 2-6 years old. I was enrolled for two years at Santa Monica City College, and LACC took 4 child development classes and have 12 units in child development. I’ve always been drawn to working with and learning about development of children of all ages. I started by watching my 3 younger siblings and then moved on to babysitting children family friends and now I've been a nanny for many families. The Montessori preschool has allowed me to better understand children, increase my ability to engage and play with children, and manage anywhere from 1-18 children at once. I am very enthusiastic, playful, can remain calm in stressful situations, and as compassionate as can be. If it’s nice out, I love to go for walks, visit a local park, or play in your backyard! If the day requires us to stay inside I enjoy playing games of all sorts and doing arts and crafts. I also have a clean driving record and can take the child to storytimes, museums, farmers markets, or other activities as long as I'm provided with a car seat and parents are comfortable with me taking their child to places. I love to keep and open and honest communication with parents and when I'm out with their child I like to keep a group chat with parents to share pictures and videos to involve parents in what we are doing. Please let me know if you have any questions and I can’t wait to meet your family! I have great references and if needed message me and I can message you back with all the references I have, CPR certification and resume. I also have a clean background check and motor vehicle check.

Rochelle $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there, this is Rochelle! Everyday is an adventure with children. I love their curiosity, their affection, and desire to absorb learning new things and experiences! I am fantastic with children because I've been taking care of them my whole life! From helping take care of my baby sister while she grew up, to babysitting countless families in my community over the years! Additionally, I have childcare experience as a legal, professional employee in a high-end summer camp and after-school programs, where the standards of the families in that community were very high. I surpassed those standards, gaining private babysitting jobs with those families, based on the mutual adoration of their children and myself. I consider myself responsible enough to multitask but also keeping it fun for the kids, as I really do enjoy connecting with them! I consider myself to be trustworthy and reliable and am confident that past employers would agree. I always make sure to ask a new family about allergies, etc...anything important relating to their children!

Booked by 1 family in La Crescenta, CA

Hello! My name is Cameron. I moved out here from Boston a few years ago and am excited to meet your family! Previously, I studied music therapy at Berklee College of Music before coming here to pursue music. I am offering child care, senior care, and pet care. During my music therapy studies, I focused on helping children with communication and social skills, and seniors with cognitive ability and memory care. I’m passionate about helping people of all ages express themselves and learn. I’ve been babysitting for various families in my hometown since my early teens, and love spending time with children. My responsibilities included driving kids to and from school, performing household duties, tutoring (any subject but math 😅), crafts, and music lessons. I have also taken care of my grandparents and great grandparents and feel very comfortable around seniors. Before she passed, I loved playing jazz songs for my great grandma and listening to stories from her past. I also have a dog and multiple cats, and would be happy to help you with any pet related needs. Please reach out if you feel that I would be a good fit for your family. I’m wishing you luck on your hunt for a caregiver!

“My 5 year old son had a great time playing with Cameron! Lots of fun imaginative play. ”

"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."

"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)."
