Glendale
$26 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 10 families in Los Angeles, CA

Hello! My name is Shanna - I like to tell the kids it rhymes with banana. I'm a creative freelancer with a focus in writing and production, but I love to lean into my nurturing side to watch pets and kids as well. I have been watching children since I was about 12 years old, after my first Red Cross babysitting class. I love animals and children and devote much of my time and energy to them. I have a huge interest in health & wellness and I keep an active lifestyle. I am especially helpful with reading and writing related homework and I love to do crafts with the kids. Whether we are playing a board game, coloring, being active outside, or doing "kiddo yoga", my babysitting nights are always full of laughter and smiles. The greatest reward is the smile on a child's face and a grateful hug goodnight. I love to see them learn, grow, and become filled with wonder. I have experience with all ages, from infants to playful toddlers to angsty pre-teens. I intend to have children of my own one day, but for now I'd like to help your family and share the love I have to offer with yours! *Clean driving record *Brand new clear recent background check *I don't drink alcohol at all and am in good health - I'm never going to show up to the job hungover or exhausted from partying. *Need help with light organizing, folding kids laundry, supervision during a birthday party, washing bottles? I've got you. *My work background and skill set also aid in my ability to communicate well, establish clear boundaries while respecting that of others and encourage children's body safety and consent (I'm not the type to force a kid to hug me and allow them to seek comfort or offer as appropriate.) I feel competent in helping with homework and especially love to help teach reading, writing, and some sciences. I have a very creative side, helping kids with things like creating our own story book or custom made flash cards. *Glowing references available. My babysitting and pet care clients have been loyal and trust me in their homes with their loved ones. They'd be happy to speak to you about my character. Note: As of 2026, I also have a certification in nonviolent crisis intervention, specifically to support those with mental or emotional disabilities and have worked with clients with autism, adhd, ocd, and grief or depression.

Booked by 1 family in Los Angeles, 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 🫶🏼

"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."

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)."

Eric D., dad of two
