Natale Santa Monica
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Natále, a musician, writer, and creative community builder with a lifelong connection to caring for children. All the women in my family (my grandmother, stepmother, and aunts) have run daycares for as long as I can remember, so I’ve been surrounded by kids (and helping with them) since I was one myself. Over the years, I’ve worked as a camp counselor, voice coach for youth, and mentor for young creatives. I love helping children express themselves through music, art, and storytelling while also creating a calm and safe environment where they feel seen and supported. Beyond childcare, I host community gatherings centered on connection and creativity, so bringing people together comes naturally to me. Families describe me as intuitive, reliable, and deeply caring. I believe in nurturing imagination and self-expression just as much as structure. I’m comfortable caring for kids of all ages, assisting with homework, organizing creative play, and supporting household needs or pets. Most importantly, I treat each family I work with as an extension of my own, bringing warmth, patience, and positive energy into their space.

Bridget Santa Monica
$28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Manhattan Beach, CA

Hello. My name is Bridget and I am new to Urban Sitter although I am a lifelong caregiver. I’ve worked with all ages, including babies, children and seniors. I’ve worked in many different settings, including the mainstream Kindergarten and First grade as academic and classroom support, as well as a Paraeducator in special education supporting one specific student throughout their school day, ages 5-12. Both of these were at Elementary School level for the past 10 years, Also, I’ve worked many summers in the district campus daycare with babies aged newborn to two years old, as well as in the preschool with ages 2 1/2 to 5 years old. I’ve also tutored middle school students, both mainstream and special needs, in the home setting during distance learning. Prior to this, I’ve worked in the theater and stage setting as an actress working with oral deaf children learning to use their voices with confidence and breath control. We used the stage as a tool for projection. These children were aged 4-12 years old, and I worked with them after school and on weekends, on and off, for years. Personally speaking, although I am a single mother of two young adults and one about to be, my earliest and greatest on the job experience came when I was 10 years old, and was older sibling to a to a one-year-old baby sister, and newborn baby brother. Real hands-on learning while carrying the most precious cargo. I would also like to add that I think and act in real time in every situation. Over the years I’ve had to utilize emergency life saving techniques five times, such as the Heimlich maneuver, and CPR, all with life-saving results. On one occasion even stabilizing a stroke victim while waiting for medical help to arrive. I take everything very seriously, but I also like to have fun. I love to make people laugh, and kids and the elderly love to laugh with me. I also housesit, do housecleaning, and pet care as needed. Thank you very much for your time. Sincerely.

Mayra Los Angeles
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Manhattan Beach, CA

Dear Parents, my name is Mayra. I’ve been a nanny since I was 18, which means I have over 7 years of experience doing something I truly love! Being around children brings me so much joy, and I love creating a fun, safe, and happy environment for them. During my undergrad, I nannied for two families and cared for multiple kids at once. My days included school pick-ups and drop-offs, driving to activities, meal prep, tidying up after the kids, and keeping things running smoothly. I’m great at juggling busy schedules while still making sure kids feel supported, cared for, and entertained. I’d describe myself as bubbly, patient, and playful, but also responsible and dependable. I love getting down on the floor to play, doing crafts, reading stories, and keeping kids engaged, all while following routines and making sure everyone is safe and happy. I take pride in being someone they feel comfortable and excited to be around! A little about me: I’m organized, communicative, and always show up with a positive attitude. I truly enjoy building connections with families and becoming someone they can count on. I’d love to meet your family and help make your days a little easier!

"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
