Hello Families! I have been a nanny and babysitter for the past seven years. My journey began as a Kid's Club attendant at an Equinox gym. From there, I built bonds with the children and their parents whom eventually hired me to babysit their children for date nights and day time hours so they can run errands. I eventually became a part-time nanny for a couple different families resulting in various age groups I would get to play, read, and hang out with. I have experience in infant care, toddler care and as the kids grow up, I have built knowledge and stay up to date with appropriate age development. I am currently doing the Disney College Program in Florida and will return Aug 14, 2025. I came to Florida to fulfill a college requirement for my degree in Recreational Tourism Management, I enjoy children and nature so much. My favorite days as a nanny are park days. My least favorite days are none. That's the best thing about this gig, children never bring about a bad day. They teach us to take each day as a gift, an opportunity to grow and connect to each other and everything around us. I look forward to meeting new families and playing, crafting, reading with children of all age groups.

Kaila $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Kaila! I'm a 25-year-old childcare provider based in the Los Angeles area with a passion for creating fun, safe, and nurturing experiences for kids of all ages. I hold a degree from California State University, Dominguez Hills, and bring three years of hands-on experience working at Disneyland — one of the most child-centered environments in the world. In that role, I developed a strong ability to engage children with patience, enthusiasm, and care while keeping safety a top priority. Whether it's storytime, creative play, or just keeping the energy up, I bring the same magic and warmth to every family I work with. I'm dependable, communicative with parents, and genuinely love spending time with kids. I'd love to be a trusted part of your family's care team!

Hi! I am currently a 19 year old college student that lives locally and comes from a big energetic family :) Since I still am in school I have a passion to tutor younger kids and show how important school really is! I speak both English and Spanish. I love being able to work with kids! Growing up I always had too much energy and always wanted to do something creative. Since i'm an adult now it's not as frequent that I bring out that inner creativity and share the energy that I still have with those around me. On my free time I paint, go to the gym, visit coffee shops, and study! I am CPR certified and have previous experience with children from ages 3 years old to 15. Always welcome to meeting you!

"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)."
