Hi! I’m Mia. I’m new to the urbansitter app, I’m a high school graduate, and I am looking to build up my childcare experience to become a full-time nanny in the future. I genuinely enjoy being around kids, teaching, and nurturing their growth. I have hands-on experience working with children of all ages, from toddlers all the way up to early teens. I pride myself on being incredibly patient, attentive, and responsible. In my free time, I am a very outgoing person who loves hiking and traveling. I am completely flexible and available for all hours, including last-minute backup care and weekend shifts. I look forward to meeting your family!

Mia was so helpful and attentive to my son’s need. She followed the itinerary I provided, and did everything I asked. She is so sweet and understanding, my son LOVES HER! Already booking her again for the coming week. She is great with kids!!

Beau-Blue 2 reviews
$23 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Beau-Blue. I recently turned 30 and am a dedicated, hardworking professional with dual U.K. and U.S. citizenship and a lifelong background in childcare and pet care. At age 12, my mother opened a daycare in our family home. By 16, I was formally trained and verified to assist her in emergency situations, and the summer I turned 17, I worked alongside her full-time. During that time, I obtained Infant through Adult CPR certification and became a certified lifeguard under Ofsted regulations. I continued working with her for four additional consecutive years, maintaining all certifications while balancing those responsibilities with a full-time position in customer service and hospitality, until I relocated in 2017. In 2017, I moved to the United States to work at Camp Vega in Maine as an in-bunk camp counselor. I served as a “den mother” to children ages 5–8 and also taught photography and videography to campers ranging from 5–15 years old. In 2018, I relocated to Los Angeles. Alongside continuing my career in customer service and hospitality, I worked as a nanny for working families (including colleagues) and subsequently through word-of-mouth referrals. Professional references are available upon request. My responsibilities extended well beyond basic childcare. They included school pick-ups and drop-offs, transportation to extracurricular activities (with a vehicle provided), preparing nutritious snacks and full meals while accommodating dietary restrictions and allergies, assisting with homework and school projects, and managing structured bedtime routines. I am equally comfortable supporting morning routines. Additionally, I am happy to assist with light household errands as needed to ensure the smooth operation of the home. I truly enjoy working alongside families and bring my own attentive, nurturing approach to create a happy, healthy, and engaging environment for children. I look forward to getting to know yours.

Beau is amazing with kids! She’s attentive, yet easy going. She’s able to tap into her child like wonder to help your child learn and grow all while having fun. She’s punctual and holds herself to a high standard of professionalism in all of her responsibilities. She’s very compassionate and kindhearted. I’ve known her to help complete strangers, especially when children are involved. She’s the kind of person to give you the shirt off her back with a smile on her face because she knows she will also be taken care of in return. She’s great in a crisis if one were to ever arrive and she’s incredible at foreseeing possible outcomes of situations and choosing the best option for safety. I value my friendship with Beau immensely and will ask her to be the godmother of my future children.

Booked by 1 family in La Crescenta, CA

Hello! I would love the opportunity to support your family. I am a 25-year-old graduate student at California State University, Los Angeles, and I currently work as a substitute teacher with LAUSD. Working with children is something I truly enjoy, and I have extensive experience caring for and supporting kids of different ages. I am CPR certified, non-smoking, and very dependable. I also have experience helping children with homework, reading support, arts and crafts, and engaging activities that are both fun and educational. In addition, I am very attentive to maintaining a clean and organized environment, so light housekeeping and cleaning up after the children would never be a problem. I am comfortable around pets and enjoy being in family-oriented environments. Growing up, my mother owned a daycare, which gave me years of hands-on experience caring for children and understanding the importance of patience, structure, and kindness. I would love to learn more about your family and see if I may be a great fit for your needs. Thank you for your time and consideration! :)

Milan 2 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Milan, and I offer child care, non-medical senior care, house sitting, errand running and household services. I graduated from Howard University with my bachelor's degree and recently earned my master's degree from University of Southern California. Over the past few years, I've worked in residential life, summer programs, and student support, where I helped supervise students, plan activities, provide mentorship, and create safe, welcoming environments. Those experiences strengthened my patience, communication, and ability to stay calm and organized. For child care, I'm happy to help with homework, reading, arts and crafts, games, bedtime routines, meal prep, transportation, and light housekeeping. I enjoy keeping kids engaged while making sure they feel safe, supported, and have fun. I also provide non-medical senior care and companionship. Whether it's running errands, grocery shopping, meal preparation (I love cooking and baking!) transportation to appointments, light household tasks, or simply providing company, I'm happy to help make everyday life a little easier. In addition, I'm available for house sitting and can bring in mail, water plants, take out trash bins, and help keep your home secure while you're away. I'm dependable, organized, and easy to communicate with. I know how important it is to trust the person coming into your home, and I strive to treat every family with kindness, respect, and professionalism. Please note: I have an allergy to animal fur, so I'm unfortunately unable to work in homes with cats, dogs, or other furry pets.

Milan has been my babysitter for my four children for the past couple of years, and I have nothing but the utmost respect and admiration for the care and dedication she has shown my family. She has consistently gone above and beyond in every aspect of her role, and I truly cannot recommend her highly enough. One of the things that has impressed me most is her ability to connect with each of my children on an individual level. She helped my son, who was struggling in math, by patiently working with him and encouraging him to stay motivated. Thanks in part to her support, he improved from earning D’s to becoming a B student. Seeing that kind of progress speaks volumes about her patience, commitment, and genuine investment in the children she cares for. Milan is incredibly reliable and dependable. I have always been able to count on her to pick up and drop off my children safely, make sure they arrive at karate and dance classes on time, and keep our family’s schedule running smoothly. Knowing my children are in responsible hands has given me tremendous peace of mind. She is also highly professional. She follows instructions carefully, asks thoughtful questions whenever clarification is needed, and communicates exceptionally well. She keeps me informed, is respectful of our family’s routines and expectations, and consistently demonstrates maturity and sound judgment. Beyond meeting responsibilities, Milan creates a positive, engaging environment for my children. She plans fun, educational activities that keep them entertained while helping them learn and grow. She is kind, patient, and nurturing, while also knowing when to be firm and maintain appropriate boundaries. My children absolutely adore her and genuinely look forward to spending time with her. Milan has been an invaluable part of our family’s support system. Her experience, reliability, professionalism, and genuine love for children make her an outstanding caregiver. I recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for someone they can trust completely with their children.

"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)."
