Theresa Los Angeles
$20 per hour for 1 child

I have been babysitting since high school and worked as a nanny after graduating, gaining several years of hands-on experience caring for children of different ages. I studied vocal performance at Berklee College of Music before transferring home during the pandemic and completing my degree in Theatre at the University of New Mexico. My background in the arts allows me to bring creativity, patience, and a strong sense of play to childcare. I love engaging kids through imaginative play, storytelling, music, and creative activities. Whether I’m helping with homework, encouraging creativity, or teaching a child a simple song on the piano, I strive to create a supportive and fun environment where children feel confident and cared for. I am conversational in French and currently studying Spanish, and I enjoy incorporating language and music into activities when appropriate. I have a current drivers license.

Maya Glendale
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Maya and I’ve been working with babies, kids, seniors and teens with intellectual disabilities since I was 16 years old. I have experience babysitting newborns, nannying toddlers and children, volunteering at convalescent homes and being a teachers assistant to special needs high school classes. Some fun facts about me: I love roller skating, arts and crafts, swimming, hiking and reading - I even spent many years in charge of pajama story time for kids at my local bookstore. I have lots of energy and love being around kids of all ages. I’m very comfortable running errands, doing pick ups/drop offs and cleaning/organizing. I also love animals of all kinds and would be happy to pet sit anytime! I am a native English speaker and conversational in both Spanish and Portuguese :)

Montebello
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Los Angeles, CA

Hello, my name is Mallory and I am a UCLA graduate with extensive experience working with children and families. I previously served as a Site Coordinator for the UCLA After School Program, where I provided academic enrichment, coordinated workshops, and supported daily programming for elementary students in transitional kindergarten through fifth grade. I have also worked as a nanny for several families, caring for children from one to seven years old, managing school pick-ups and drop-offs, preparing meals, traveling with families, and providing light household and pet care. My childcare journey began even earlier as a swim instructor, where I taught babies as young as four months through adolescence. These roles taught me patience, adaptability, and the importance of creating safe, structured, and nurturing environments where children can grow and thrive. Families describe me as warm, reliable, and proactive. Beyond childcare, I bring strong organizational skills, supporting with errands, household management, and ensuring family routines run smoothly. For me, caregiving is more than supervision, it is about being a steady, positive presence in children’s lives and giving parents the peace of mind that their family is cared for with consistency and love.

James adored you. You did great with James and were very professional and reliable. He really responded to you while you babysat him. Definitely booking you again!

"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)."
