Aya $20 per hour for 1 child

Growing up in a big family of 11 , I’ve had plenty of hands-on experience caring for kids, including my sibling and many younger cousins. I’m very tidy, enjoy cooking and cleaning, and I’ve always had pets both dogs and cats so I’m confident in taking care of them too. I speak 4 languages, two of which are exotic.

Vira $20 per hour for 1 child

Dear Hiring Family, My name is Jazzmine (currently finalizing this as my legal name; my present legal name is Vira Faith Becker), and I am applying for the live-in / or live out nanny position within your home. With over a decade of childcare experience, I offer a dependable blend of structure, creativity, and cultural values. Born in Odessa, Ukraine and raised in the United States since 2005, I’ve cared for children from infancy through the teen years across Nashville, Atlanta, and Southern California including families with up to four children, twins, and special needs children. Throughout my work, I’ve built environments where children feel safe, have fun, creative, and encouraged to be independent. My childcare style integrates Montessori and Waldorf principles with arts, music, dance, outdoor exploration, age-appropriate learning, and I incorporate Russian and Spanish to children’s daily conversation. I am available also for overnights, travel [(regionally ready) *updating passport for international travel] sick-day care, holidays, school days off, last minute, and miscellaneous moments. Summer 2025, I served as a live-in nanny for a 22-month-old, leaving only because the family is in Midwest and my calling is to be in California. I’m comfortable preparing vegetarian global meals, coordinating transportation, maintaining household structure, and assisting with light housekeeping. Professionally, I have worked in guest services at Macy’s DTLA, where I delivered high-quality service, supported multiple departments, and maintained strong performance until the store’s permanent closure. Afterward, I traveled to 15 different locations in the United States, expanding my cultural awareness and strengthening the empathy and adaptability I bring into private homes. In addition to childcare, I worked as a performer and character actress in Hollywood LA last day 9/10/2026. I am grateful as it enhanced my communication skills, creativity, patience, and ability to stay energetic in fast-paced settings all qualities that naturally elevate my work with children. I am fluent in English and conversational in Russian and Spanish, with ongoing study in both. I hold CPR & First Aid certification and maintain an active background check. I would welcome the opportunity to support your household with reliability, consistency, and 100 % integrity. Thank you for your time and consideration, I hope to be the right nanny for your growing family! -Sincerely Jazzmine

Vanessa $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Vanessa, and I’m dedicated to supporting families through dependable childcare and pet care. I offer babysitting, nanny services, and pet care, and I bring a calm, organized, and caring approach to everything I do. With experience caring for children ages 1–14 in my family since I was about 14, I am new to offering my services outside of family. I love planning activities, being outdoors and working hands-on projects that keep kids active, engaged, and happy. I enjoy organizing, cooking, baking, crafts, and cleaning, and I always aim to create a positive, safe environment for children to learn and grow. I’m currently in the process of getting my certification in CPR and First Aid to give families more confidence and peace of mind. For pet care, I have experience with both large and small dog breeds, as well as cats. I provide walks, feeding, and playtime. I’m comfortable with large breeds and animals that shed. I treat every pet like part of the family and make sure they feel loved and well cared for. I’d love the opportunity to provide reliable, caring support for your home, your children, and your pets. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

Juan $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Juan. I’m a bilingual English-Spanish musician and private guitar instructor offering child care, pet care, and household support. For several years in Mexico, I taught private guitar lessons in students’ homes, primarily working with children around ages 6–11. During longer visits, I often spent additional time with the children, helped keep an eye on them, kept them engaged, and maintained a calm and positive environment. I’m patient, creative, responsible, and enjoy connecting with kids through music, games, and conversation. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs and cats and have experience caring for my own pet. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, errands, light cleaning, simple meal preparation, and other basic household tasks. I’m dependable, respectful of each family’s routines, and committed to creating a safe, encouraging, and comfortable environment.

"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)."
