Booked by 1 family in La Crescenta, CA

Hi - My name is Antonella I am offering child care I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers (including twins!) since I was 25 years old I have had the opportunity to go on a trip with families taking care of their babies , Work in a school I have 5 years of experience and very good references

“Antonella was amazing with our 13-month-old child. We needed help pretty last minute because daycare was unavailable, and she really came through for us at a time when we both needed to work from home. She was warm, patient, easy to talk to, and great with our child right away. She kept them entertained, helped with meals and the usual routine, and just made the whole day a lot less stressful for us. It was such a relief being able to focus on work and know our child was happy and being well taken care of. We’d absolutely have Antonella help us again and would definitely recommend her to other parents.”

Naz 2 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child

I have extensive experience caring for children from infancy through 10+ years old, as well as experience working with children in a school environment. My background as a harpist and artist allows me to engage creatively with kids through music, imaginative play, and hands-on activities. I love teaching, spending time outdoors, making snacks, helping with household chores, and being playful and silly with the children I care for. I’m warm, attentive, reliable, and genuinely enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for families.

“Naz helped care for my daughter Rumi from the time she was 1 year old until 3.5 years old on an as-needed basis, and she was truly wonderful with her. She is incredibly gentle, patient, reliable, and responsive, and always created a calm, nurturing environment around Rumi. What stood out most to me was how naturally caring and attentive she is with children. Rumi absolutely adored spending time with her. Naz brought so much creativity and warmth into their time together through music, play, art, and outdoor activities. She also has a very grounded and calming presence, which made me feel completely comfortable leaving Rumi in her care. I would wholeheartedly recommend Naz to any family looking for someone trustworthy, kind, engaging, and genuinely excellent with children.”

Hi – My name is Ajai, and I am a college graduate offering child care and household services. I have a deep passion for babysitting, cultivated over 13 years of experience caring for children of all ages. My journey began with watching my younger cousins and family members, which inspired my love for child care. Since then, I have provided babysitting services for date nights and have served as a nanny for families over extended periods. My responsibilities have included playing with children, meal preping, tutoring, and transporting children to and from school. I look forward to the opportunity to provide reliable and loving care for your family.

Booked by 5 families in La Crescenta, CA

Hi, my name is Jacqueline, and I’m a 25-year-old educator currently working as a K/1 Special Education teacher with LAUSD. I have been working with children since I was 16 and bring a wide range of experience supporting children with diverse needs and personalities. My background includes working as a private tutor for two children on the autism spectrum, a long-term nanny for twin boys on the spectrum, a part time nanny for two children, and a behavior therapist/interventionist for six years. Through these roles, I’ve gained hands-on experience with children on the spectrum, infants, twins, and families who prefer limited or no screen time. I also have experience providing overnight care and am comfortable with sleep routines and extended supervision. In addition, I’ve taken children on full-day outings to places like amusement parks, local parks, and the movies, always ensuring they are safe, engaged, and having fun. I am also experienced in picking up and dropping off children at school and extracurricular activities, and I have a reliable vehicle. I hold a degree in Psychology, am CPR certified, fully vaccinated, and am fluent in Spanish. I understand that trusting someone with your child is a big decision. I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun. I strive to support each child’s individual needs while building a positive and trusting relationship with both children and parents. I would love the opportunity to work with your family. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I look forward to connecting with you! Thank you for your consideration.

"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)."
