Booked by 9 families in Los Angeles, CA

I’m a university student at USC who genuinely loves working with children and supporting families. I’ve spent most of my life volunteering and working in programs that care for kids, and those experiences have shaped my patience, kindness, and understanding. I believe every child deserves a safe, fun, and encouraging environment where they feel happy to learn and grow. I’m responsible, positive, and attentive, and I enjoy creating activities, helping with routines, and making sure kids feel supported and cared for. I also drive, so I’m happy to help with pickups, activities, or errands when needed. Families often describe me as dependable, warm, and someone who brings a calm and uplifting energy. I truly enjoy building meaningful connections with children and being someone families can trust and rely on.

Booked by 13 families in Los Angeles, CA

I graduated from East LoS Angeles Community college. I received my associates in child development. I just received my bachelors at Cal State LA in Child Development. I used to be a foster mother so I know transitions can be hard for some children. I have two children of my own but they are now in elementary and I am looking to work in taking care of others peoples beautiful children in the process. I am a dog mom as well therefore I don’t mind taking walks around the block with your little one and your fur baby if that is something you’re interested in. Being outdoors and showing children, elderly and pets how beautiful the day is something I enjoy doing. I am familiar with IEP therefore if your child needs extra help by communicating with baby sign language I can help with that. The one thing I like to mention is I know my alphabet in 3 different languages and I find it a fun thing to teach children. Working on cognitive, gros motor and fine motor skills is also an important factor for me that I would love to implement with your child if you are interested. 😊

Booked by 13 families in Los Angeles, CA

Hello! My name is Charlotte. I'm a 31 year-old Bay Area native currently working as a postdoctoral neuroethicist at UCLA. I also work as a community doula (trained in Oakland, CA) and have taught social justice oriented yoga classes in SF and virtually. I love working with families and while my schedule doesn't allow for full or part time care, occasional care is what I'd love to offer. I have over 10 years of experience as a babysitter, full time nanny and elementary school teacher. I've worked at a preschool and at my university's childcare center, and most recently, as a teacher for 3-8 year olds in Cambodia. I'm looking for doula work (prenatal, childbirth, or postpartum) or occasional nannying work. I absolutely adore children and working with them is such an honor to me. I’m responsible, creative and energetic and excited to speak further with you about working with you and your family! I'm also fortunate enough to be fully vaccinated and am happy to provide references upon request. Thanks so much, Charlotte

Booked by 13 families in Los Angeles, CA

Hello! My name is Janelle and I have been a childcare provider for 6 years now. I've cared for multiple families with kids ages 3 months - 14 years. Jobs included playtime outdoors and indoors, crafts, driving or waking them to and from school, help with homework and online learning, meal prep, morning routines, bedtime routines, light housework, and even pet care. I grew up in a big family taking care of my younger sister and my many cousins. Additionally, I have taught dance, voice, piano, and theatre over the last 10 years, so I've been working with youth for some time in many different contexts. I am currently located in the Mount Washington area of Los Angeles. I'm up to date on all of my vaccines. I am also an actor and musician, so if your child happens to be interested in the arts, this is an especially good fit! Child care is my day job of choice because I genuinely love children. They keep my spirits high and fill me with purpose. Watching them grow, and playing a part in their upbringing has been the greatest, unexpected gift since I started this journey. Thanks for taking the time to read! I look forward to meeting you and your family! :)

“Janelle is wonderful! She was on time, super communicative, and really kind. I receive credits for urban sitter through work, and since I don't have kids was looking for someone to do some housekeeping. She did a great job and we look forward to having her back!”

"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)."
