Booked by 1 family in La Crescenta, CA

My services include childcare, pet care, household services, and running errands. I am very comfortable providing homework help, cooking and baking anything, driving kids to and from school or extracurriculars, and generally supervising activities (i.e. swimming, playing, etc.). I am also experienced in caring for cats and dogs of all breeds and sizes in different settings. I am very comfortable with any activities required (feeding, walking, playing, etc.). I graduated from UCLA with a degree in Cognitive Science & Computing. I am a certified Yoga Instructor who brings empathy and warmth to any environment and loves to get to know people. I am highly organized, adaptable, reliable, am a strong communicator, and am fluent in Spanish. I am looking forward to getting to know you, your kids, your pets, and your household needs!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with our nanny, Sofia, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She is incredibly reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. From day one, she built a strong bond with my son and created a safe, nurturing, and fun environment. She consistently went above and beyond—whether it was helping with routines, engaging in educational activities, or simply bringing a positive and calming presence into our home. Her professionalism and warm personality made a huge difference for our family. Any family would be lucky to have her. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and exceptional nanny! Thanks.

Lindsey $19 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Lindsey and I am a 19 year old student at American Career College, studying to be a surgical technician. I love supporting families by providing safe and reliable care for children. Since I started working in high school, I have always gravitated towards jobs working with kids, because their infectious energy brings me joy and makes me feel fulfilled. I have worked as a lead tennis coach, working with kids ages 4-17, as well as babysitting elementary school kids in my hometown neighborhood for about 5 years! I am a very social and active person, who's goal is to create a fun, yet nurturing environment to help set kids up for success. I connect very well with kids of all ages due to my experience, patience, and energy. I love constant engagement with kids and adapt easily to different personalities, making it very easy for kids to feel comfortable quickly! Additionally, I have experience in housekeeping, cooking/meal prepping, and I love animals as well!

Booked by 1 family in La Crescenta, CA

My name is Ana, and I am a caring, responsible grandmother of five wonderful school-aged grandchildren whom I have been actively caring for over the years. I hold a degree as a bilingual secretary, and while my professional background began in administrative work, my true passion has always been in helping others—especially through caregiving. With years of hands-on experience supporting and nurturing children, I bring patience, empathy, and strong organizational skills to every task. I am fluent in both English and Spanish, dependable, and attentive to individual needs. I am excited for the opportunity to provide warm, reliable care and companionship to those who may need extra support in their daily lives.

Amara 1 review
$27 per hour for 1 child

I am currently a graduate from IESEG University with my master's. I love kids and supporting moms and families. The babysitters and nannies I had growing up left a strong positive impression on me. I understand the value of being responsible, engaging, and a good role model. I am comfortable with after-school pickup, snacks, homework, and most of all, engaging in fun activities!

I highly recommend Amara!!! Amara worked as my daughter's after-school / part-time babysitter a little over a year ago when my daughter was in first grade...as well as occasionally babysitting her at various times since then. She was great!! She did an amazing job and is great with kids. She picked my daughter up five days a week from school, took her on the subway home (~20 minutes), took her to any activities, and helped with homework, etc. She was very responsible and mature and I felt very safe with her taking care of my daughter and taking her places, and she helped with her homework. My daughter loved her as well- Amara was fun and sweet to her and would "play" with her - fun imaginative things. Anyone would be lucky to have Amara as a sitter! We stopped her using Amara on a daily basis because she was studying abroad in Paris but, since she has been back, have used her a date night sitter.

"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)."
