Giselle $17 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I work as a Nursing assistant currently taking classes at LBCC to become a Registered Nurse . I have a lot of experience working with children as I have been a part time nanny before. I have babysat children from newborn age to 13 years old. I have experience changing diapers, making baby formula, playing with children, reading and helping them write and just doing activities with them. I have experience babysitting multiple children at once. I also have experience with bathtime and bed time routine and can help prepare meals if needed. I love babysitting because I love being around children because they are just full with life and happiness. I am an outgoing girl who loves to travel, do yoga, read and hang out with friends! I am someone who you can always count on to be there for you and help you out! I also am CPR certified !

Booked by 1 family in Lakewood, CA

Hi mamas and papas! 🩷 I am a professional nanny with a big heart for little humans! I’m currently looking to transition from my full-time sales career (last day-Mar 13!) into nannying full-time so I can have more flexibility, freedom, and most importantly follow my true passion of caring for children!! I have a Bachelors in Liberal Studies from CSULB with a concentration in Language Arts (even though math is my favorite subject!). My original plan was to become a full time teacher, I am still working on my credentials, but would now prefer to tutor independently. I spent three years as a substitute teacher and also worked as an RSP assistant, supporting students who needed extra guidance, patience, and time to complete their work. I have four years of experience as a professional nanny. I am also a hands-on auntie of 9 and the primary familial caregiver! I am open to part-time positions, evenings, weekends, and even travel opportunities. I am comfortable caring for children of all ages, abilities, and health needs. Every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and celebrated for who they are!! Also welcoming opportunities for senior care, pet care, and home sitting! (I had a dog that I loved dearly for 12 years and have experience with hospice care for a relative who was battling ovarian cancer for two years) Happy to pass a background check or Livescan! Excited to support families by helping you care for the most important people in your world! I’m flexible and happy to provide discounts for siblings and cash payments! Open to paid working interviews, so we can make sure we are a good fit for each other! **Extremely respectful of dietary restrictions! References available upon request. Looking forward to connecting 🫶🏼

Destiny $25 per hour for 1 child

I have been working as a nanny for over 15 years, and caring for children has truly been both my passion and my profession. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting families with children of all ages—from newborns and toddlers to school-aged kids—helping them grow, learn, and thrive in a safe and nurturing environment. I believe in creating a balance of structure and fun. Whether it’s planning age-appropriate activities, helping with homework, or encouraging creative play, I aim to support children’s development while also giving them a warm and caring space where they feel secure. Families I’ve worked with often describe me as patient, reliable, and attentive. Along with childcare, I’m comfortable assisting with light household tasks, meal preparation, and keeping daily routines running smoothly. My priority is always to provide peace of mind to parents and loving care to their children.

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

"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)."
