Ryan $32 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I'm a warm, dependable 30-year-old based in Los Angeles with years of experience caring for children of all ages - from infants and toddlers to tweens. Originally from NJ/NY, I've lived in LA for three years and love this community deeply. After seven years in the fashion industry as a merchandiser and buyer, I'm now a graduate student pursuing my Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), so nurturing kids' emotional well-being is truly my passion. I have a valid driver's license and car, so school pick-up and drop-off is no problem! I love keeping kids engaged with arts and crafts, fun activities, and homework help, and I'm happy to welcome your pets too. I bring a calm, attentive presence to every family I work with. Feel free to reach out! Thank you very much! Ryan

Danielle $22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in La Crescenta, CA

I'm an experienced babysitter and nanny originally from Austin, Texas. I was an Au pair in Sydney, Australia and worked as a nanny in Austin for 4 years. I've nannied for two families in NYC in the five years that I've lived there and I love kids. I've worked with all ages from toddlers to teenagers. I've also traveled with some of the families I've nannied and done overnights when the parents have gone out of town. When I was younger I volunteered with kids in the past, teaching them how to read. I'm currently living in LA and I'm looking for occasional work. Let me know if you have any questions, I'd be more than happy to discuss further what you are looking for. I look forward to hearing from you!

"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."

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)."
