Hi, my name is Ashly! I’m 27 years old and a dedicated caregiver with a passion for working with children. I have experience caring for kids of different ages, I understand the importance of providing a nurturing and safe environment for little ones. My goal is to support families by offering reliable and compassionate care. provide childcare services tailored to each child’s needs, including:     •    Infant and toddler care     •    Engaging and age-appropriate activities     •    Meal prep and feeding support     •    Basic housekeeping related to childcare     •    Assistance with bedtime and nap routines I strive to create a warm and structured environment where children feel safe, happy, and engaged! I have hands-on experience caring for infants, especially since I understand their unique needs, such as feeding schedules, sleep routines, and developmental milestones. I’ve also worked with toddlers and older children, engaging them in fun and educational activities that help with social and cognitive development. I love engaging children in age-appropriate activities that encourage learning and creativity. With infants, I enjoy tummy time, sensory play, and music activities to support their development. For toddlers and older kids, I incorporate arts and crafts, storytime, and outdoor play to keep them active and entertained.

My kids were asleep and she came to stay in the hotel with them and I felt comfortable with that. She did bring her own baby which was ok with me for the role of sitting in the hotel room but it was the first time someone from urban sitter brought their own child. I might have wish to know before we matched.

Booked by 3 families in La Crescenta, CA

Hi! My name is Sheily, and I’m 24 years old. I started nannying when I was 19 and have worked with children from 4 months to 12 years old. I’m caring, responsible, and love creating a fun, safe, and positive space for kids to grow and learn. I’m very organized and enjoy planning creative activities that keep kids engaged—whether it’s arts and crafts, outdoor games, or helping with school projects. I also assist with homework and make learning fun and encouraging. I have a reliable car and can handle school pick-ups and drop-offs. I’m happy to help with light meal prep, packing lunches, light household cleaning, grocery shopping, running errands, and even walking dogs. I’m looking to work with a family that values reliability, warmth, and open communication. I’d love the chance to meet and see if I’d be a great fit for your family!

Sheily was amazing with out 18month girl. It’s my first time hiring a sitter, so I was nervous to leave my girl, and how this would work, since my girl has been clingy at this stage. Sheily was able to calm and reassure me and Zoe immediately warmed to Sheily and I was nowhere to be seen! Sheily was attentive and took cues from our girl as to meal, play and diaper times. Such a great first experience with a babysitter that I’m looking forward to seeing Sheily again. If we weren’t simply visiting, I’d want to hire you permanently!

Hello, my name is Nomonde, most people call me Nommy. I am a dedicated and experienced nanny with over eight years of professional childcare experience. My passion for working with children began early in life, inspired by my mother, who was also a nanny. Through her example and my own hands-on experience, I’ve developed a strong foundation in creating supportive, engaging, and safe environments for children of various ages. I take a thoughtful, nurturing approach to childcare ,focusing on emotional development, physical activity, and healthy routines. As a Long term full time nanny, certified personal trainer with current CPR and AED certifications, I prioritize the safety, happiness and wellbeing of the children in my care. I also maintain a healthy lifestyle and enjoy integrating those habits into my work, whether through active play, nutritious meals, or encouraging daily structure and routine. Faith is an important part of my life, and I identify as a Christian. I would ideally love to work with a family that shares similar values, where mutual respect, kindness, and integrity are central to the home environment. I treat every family I work with like my own, with warmth, commitment, and care. I build strong, lasting relationships with both children and parents, and take pride in being a consistent, reliable presence in their lives. I am currently seeking a full time nanny position with a family who values experience, trust, and a nurturing approach to childcare. References are available upon request and would be happy to speak to the quality of care I provide. I look forward to the opportunity to connect and learn more about your family’s needs. Best regards, Nommy

"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)."
