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.

Lilly West Hollywood
$25 per hour for 1 child

I’m the oldest of seven, so caregiving has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a single-parent home, I naturally stepped in to help my mom with everything from homework and bedtime routines to meals and keeping the house running. Those early years taught me how to be patient, responsible, and calm under pressure, and they’re a huge reason why I’m so comfortable working with kids today. Outside of my own family, I’ve spent time caring for children in my community and during college. I worked at youth camps and served as a counselor, leading activities, helping kids build friendships, and supporting them through the ups and downs of being young. I also worked with the Boys and Girls Club, mentoring kids both academically and socially. Those experiences helped me develop my own style of caregiving — warm, creative, and centered around helping each child feel seen and capable. I recently graduated from college, and my education helped strengthen my communication and leadership skills. I love finding ways to connect with kids individually, whether that’s through reading together, exploring their interests, or creating simple learning moments in everyday tasks. As a caregiver, I’m dependable, gentle, and adaptable. I don’t come in just to supervise; I like to really learn each child’s personality, what comforts them, what excites them, and how to support their growth. I’m also great with busy households and don’t mind pitching in with things like meal prep, light cleaning, organizing, homework help, errands, or pet care. I’ve been doing those things my whole life. I have over 7 years of experience caring for children from infancy through age 15, and I’ve had the privilege of nannying for multiple families with diverse needs and personalities. I’m open to both live-in and full-time roles depending on the family’s needs. More than anything, I care about building trust, creating a calm and happy environment, and making life a little easier for the families I work with.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
