Dolly $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Dolly. I live in Gardena and I’m looking just a part time gigs. I am in the market for childcare, senior care, and household services I have a full time job as an entry writer and a part time working as a barista. I am looking to slowly transition this role out. I grew up in a family of 3 siblings being the oldest, which pretty much meant I had to continuously look after my siblings and take care of them. I also tend to do some babysitting for family members when needed.I am great with kids, pets, and seniors. I can offer assistance as transportation, cooking, cleaning, running errands, and such as needed tasks.

Laura $35 per hour for 1 child

Child at Heart ♡ I have been caring for children since I was a young girl and it brings me such joy. Which is why I have done everything from babysitting/nanny to coaching a Special Olympics team, to teaching Art Therapy at the Ronald McDonald House, to teaching swimming, photography, and English to kids, in the US and abroad. I do have my certification for AED, Adult, Child, Infant CPR & AED Training, valid until 03/20/28 and a safe SUV for driving infants to teens. For me the joy is finding what excites each child - and then creating an opportunity for play and learning, whatever the age. Currently (and always!) I am writing a children's book series and want to spend more time with kids. All ages are a fun and creative exploration for me too - always working to find new ways to keep them safe, happy and curious! Teaching for me includes: being in nature, long walks outside, reading, writing, cooking, drawing, games, crafting or building robots, play, music, sport, meditation, kindness, ART, making videos, taking pictures, swimming, yoga, and so much more! Unique: I enjoy exposing young learners to new languages (even infants) including Chinese, Japanese and French. In addition, I do have a small service dog that kids love to play with, read to and cuddle with. She also loves giving hugs!

Marissa $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Manhattan Beach, CA

Hi families! I’m Marissa, a full-time nanny with 10 years of experience caring for children from infancy through middle school. I’m currently based in Marina del Rey and available to start immediately. I’m open to both part-time and full-time roles. I’m playful, creative, and routine-oriented. I love planning engaging days filled with park outings, library visits, crafts, and learning activities to support development. I also have experience working with neurodiverse children and providing homeschooling support. I enjoy adapting my approach to each child’s individual needs. I’m CPR/First Aid certified, fully vaccinated, and comfortable with pets, driving, cooking, and light household tasks. I’ve worked in quite a few long-term nanny roles (including a four-year placement) and prioritize creating a safe, loving, and dependable environment where children can thrive. I’d love to connect with families looking for a reliable, experienced nanny who brings warmth and consistency to their home!

"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)."
