Booked by 21 families in Northridge, CA

Hi, I’m Rosa! I am an experienced, multi-certified caregiver offering dedicated support for children, pets, and seniors. I understand how important reliable care is. At the moment I am only available for part time or one day jobs. Child Care: I’ve been babysitting since I was 15, working with all ages from newborns to school-aged children. I’m happy to help with "new mommy" tasks, tummy time, school transport, and creative activities like arts and crafts. Pet & House Sitting: I’ve provided pet and home care since I was 18. Whether it’s long walks, park play, feeding, or bathing, your furry friends are in great hands. I also provide light housekeeping to keep your home running smoothly. Senior Care: Having cared for my own grandfather, I am comfortable assisting seniors with meal prep, driving to appointments, and running errands. I’m also a great Bingo partner!

Rosa was a fantastic sitter for our toddler. She was prompt,communicative and flexible with last minute change in plans.

Hello! I’m Nico and I bring a warm, grounded presence alongside a genuine passion for child development. My background spans 10 years of childcare experience inclusive of nannying, arts education through dance, tutoring, coaching, and one-on-one mentorship — these experiences have sharpened my ability to meet children where they are, build trust, and help them grow in confidence, creativity, and character. I understand that every child is different and I readily adapt my methods to care for children holistically, understanding their unique personalities, pace, and needs. I am professional, discreet, and respectful in my approach — one that always seeks to honor your family's privacy and maintain a standard of excellence in relational rapport. I am organized and proactive by nature, comfortable managing daily schedules, coordinating activities, and communicating clearly with parents and any household staff. I am reliable, flexible, and take pride in my ability to be fully present. My arts and movement background is something I love weaving into everyday life with children — whether that's an impromptu dance session, a creative project, or simply bringing energy and joy to the ordinary moments of the day. I believe the best childcare isn't just supervision — it's thoughtful, attentive companionship that allows children to feel safe, seen, and supported. I would love the opportunity to connect with new families and learn more about their caregiver needs.

I was visiting LA with my 9 year old, and asked Nico to sit for the afternoon. I hadn’t used the service before but I needed a sitter at a specific time. I showed my daughter several videos, she chose Nico. My daughter had a great afternoon. It’s a small sample size but Nico comes across as very professional with a warm demeanor & seems to genuinely enjoy her work as a caregiver. 10/10 - if the need arises would absolutely book her again the next time we’re in LA.

I'd describe my personality as fun, positive and energetic I like working with kids because is pleasurable and fun. I'm looking for a job that I am respected, and the family-environment is easygoing. I started working with kids since my 15 years old. In my spare time, I like to be outdoors, hike, spend time with my dog and my cat. Painting, coloring, cooking.. One thing you should know about me is I'm a good heart and straightforward. Also drama free and I will take care of your children as my own. My skills include CPR, help development and breathing work/meditation lessons with kids.

Julia was engaged while she was with our LO. She was patient, gave space to understand our daughter’s needs, and read and played with her. She’s a natural with kids! Our daughter had a great time with her, which, for any parent, is a relief.

Danielle 2 reviews
$22 per hour for 1 child

I am a credentialed teacher with several years of teaching experience, and I valued raising my son without daycare so much that I stayed home to be with him. My son has ADHD, and I helped him to get through all of his schooling. Now he is a PhD student in Medical Research! I enjoy working with children of all ages, and I take pride in caring for others in a respectful, meaningful way. I am creative and fun as well, and I feel comfortable communicating with families to make sure that everything goes well.

I have known Danielle for more than ten years. During that time, we both served as committee members for our local Scout Troop. I observed how she interacted with the Scouts and I admired her calm demeanor. Danielle always shows patience and care when working with children. I appreciate that she is always willing to lend a helping hand. She continues to volunteer her time and share her talents with various organizations in our community.

"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)."
