Hi there, I'm Evie! Your trusted childcare provider with over twelve years of experience working with families from Ireland to New York city and beyond. With a background in newborn care and a passion for creative play I am dedicated to making each day with your child imaginative, joyful and fun! My journey in childcare has allowed me to connect with many wonderful families over the years. I have experience working as a full-time nanny, part time carer and night nurse for newborns. I’ve cared for children aged 0-13, specializing in infant care and toddlers. When not babysitting, you can catch me exploring LA parks or trying out new coffee shops. Reliable, organized and intuitive, I listen to your child's needs and respond in the best way possible for them. I am happy to assist with household upkeep as well, such as laundry, dishes, tidying up, etc. I am seeking part-time employment, (1-2 days a week) date night sitting/ occasional evening care, or temporary nanny/daycare coverage. I am open to more hours with the right fit! I am CPR and First Aid certified with a valid driver's license. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. Thank you!

Lovely experience having Evie watch our baby when we came to LA for a wedding. Calm and experienced, very good with all our specific requests.

Christina $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! My name is Christina, and caring for children has been my passion for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a family daycare, I was surrounded by the joy and energy of little ones, which inspired me to dedicate my life to early childhood education. With over 15 years of hands-on experience working in our family daycare, I’ve nurtured children of all ages, creating a loving and safe environment where they can learn and grow. I earned my Teacher’s Associate Certificate from UCLA to further my knowledge and skills, and I am currently an infant teacher at a preschool. I truly believe that every child deserves patience, warmth, and encouragement to thrive. My goal is to support families by providing the highest level of care, ensuring that both children and parents feel safe, valued, and supported. I look forward to the opportunity to work with your little ones and be a part of their early learning journey!

Karen $15 per hour for 1 child

The reason why my rates are so low compared to other is because I know the struggle of needing childcare and having no support . I work with kids on the spectrum supporting children from 5-12 years old with behaviors. I have experience with ages ranging from newborn - 12 years old . I am a big listener when it comes to parents expectations of a nanny to their children . My goal is that you feel comfortable leaving your children with me knowing that they are being taken care of the way you would want them to be. The downside about me is that I’m allergic to dogs and cats :( Contact[removed]427

Theresa $20 per hour for 1 child

I have been babysitting since high school and worked as a nanny after graduating, gaining several years of hands-on experience caring for children of different ages. I studied vocal performance at Berklee College of Music before transferring home during the pandemic and completing my degree in Theatre at the University of New Mexico. My background in the arts allows me to bring creativity, patience, and a strong sense of play to childcare. I love engaging kids through imaginative play, storytelling, music, and creative activities. Whether I’m helping with homework, encouraging creativity, or teaching a child a simple song on the piano, I strive to create a supportive and fun environment where children feel confident and cared for. I am conversational in French and currently studying Spanish, and I enjoy incorporating language and music into activities when appropriate. I have a current drivers license.

"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)."
