Hello! My name is Daniela, I’ve worked with kids since I was 15 years old. I am a college student studying education. I have worked for LAUSD and LBUSD as a teaching assistant and I also have worked as a nanny to two kids during the week. I help them with homework, sports, take them to their appointments and have a great relationship with the family. I have been with them for four years. I can teach phonetics, mathematics and writing.

Booked by 1 family in Lakewood, CA

I have experience caring for children of all ages, from babies to teenagers, including caring for multiple children at once. I’m comfortable helping with homework, meals, activities, driving, bedtime routines, and longer babysitting shifts, including evenings and late nights. I recently obtained my master’s degree, and during my graduate training I worked with children and families through psychosocial counseling and completed coursework in child psychology. I also have experience caring for neurodivergent children and children with more complex medical needs. These experiences have emphasized the importance of patience, flexibility, and attentiveness when caregiving. As well as the fact that every child may communicate, learn, or need support in different ways. I’d describe myself as easygoing, dependable, and caring. I want kids to feel comfortable and have fun with me, while still respecting the routines, boundaries, and expectations parents have for their home. I take safety seriously, communicate openly with families, and try to be someone both parents and kids can feel comfortable relying on.

Dana 2 reviews
$21 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Dana and I’m currently a college student attending cypress college! I absolutely love working with children of all ages, and I’ve been a Girls Scout leader working with young girls and part time with the Boyscouts, for around 4 years now. I’ve been able to deal with children of all ages including seniors in highschool, no child is ever too “hard” to handle, I’ve dealt with every mood swing and every difficult situation you can think of, which has honestly made me a better person and better leader for them as well. I’ve worked with children with severe autism, I’ve worked with blind children, children with disabilities, + Being around children as they grow and learn more about their own personalities and their emotions, has been such an amazing experience to be able to guide them and be someone they could look up to and lean on for advice! please feel free to ask me any questions, and we’ll see if it’s a good fit for you and I!

“Dana’s professionalism and childcare experience are undeniable. She’s great with kids of all ages and is very caring and gentle with children. Highly recommend to book with her!”

"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)."
