Booked by 3 families in Pacific Palisades, CA

Hi parents, New to UrbanSitter, Santa Monica local for over 33 years, mom and USC Graduate. I have been babysitting and tutoring for over 30 years. Originally I came to the US as an Aupair when I was 18 and took care of an infant and elementary school age children. Over the years during college and graduate school here in LA I continued to provide part-time nanny and babysitter services. I have also continued to care for children of all ages when I became a mom because I love taking care of and teaching children and often watched friends’ kids and organized playdates when they were younger. I am very active, love the outdoors and the beach, I even own an e-scooter so I am a cool 😎 mom, and I play soccer, love to bike, hike, can teach swimming and beach and ocean safety. I am a certified USA triathlon coach and ex-triathlete and marathoner, and I also taught German and digital media classes at USC, my Alma Mater where I graduated with two Master’s degrees. I am known to be responsible, mature, caring, and loving. I love to give hugs and listen, have advanced certifications in childcare and I am First Aid/AED/CPR certified for infants, children and adults. I look forward to helping you with your babies, kids and even your furry friends 🤗

“Patricia was wonderful with my kids. She was warm, kind, thoughtful, and very present with them. She really tuned in to their individual needs, and they both felt comfortable with her right away. They had a great time together and have already asked when she’s coming back. I felt completely comfortable having her with them and would absolutely have her back.”

Booked by 6 families in Pacific Palisades, CA

Hi, I’m Jenna! I graduated from UC Berkeley with a BA in Fine Art. I currently work as a freelance video editor and teach private and group art classes with my twin sister. We offer art lessons for children ages 20 months and up, and can always combine babysitting with a fun, creative art activity as well. Feel free to reach out if you're interested or would like more information! 🎨 👩‍🎨 ig:creativespace.santamonica I have over 15 years experience working with toddlers and kids of all ages, and can provide references if needed. I look forward to hearing from you!

“Jenna has been sitting for my two boys (now 4 and 6) for years, and she is just incredible! She is very sweet, understanding, energetic, professional and responsible (and punctual), and brings a joyful, positive attitude to each visit. She has watched the boys during the day and in the evening, taken them on park/playground outings, and picked them up from school. Her attention is always 100% on the kids, and she is very creative about making each visit fun with board games and arts projects (she's an amazing artist!). My boys look forward to her coming and always have a wonderful time. From meals, to bedtime, to boo-boos, she has it covered and is always available for status updates. She is also very flexible and is very accommodating when our schedule or plans change. We recommend her very highly and would be happy to answer any questions or share more about our experiences!”

Booked by 4 families in Pacific Palisades, CA

Hi everyone, My name is Kathy and I have had many years of experience working with children of all ages including newborns. I was a nursery school teacher for many years as well as a babysitter since I was a teenager. I am CPR and First Aid Certified. I am by nature a very nurturing person and love to show children of all ages all the world has to offer. I am quite a good cook and a very good baker which is often something kids love to do. I enjoy arts and crafts as well as engaging in reading and music. I am creative and like to explore that side with children thru many mediums. I have a great sense of humor and get a kick out of the things kids do. I am calm and loving and above all have a great deal of patience. I am current on all my Covid vaccine, boosters and flu shots as well as my Tdap shot. I look forward to talking with you to see how I can make your life and your kids day to day lives easier. Referrals available upon request. Thank you for your time.

Booked by 2 families in Pacific Palisades, CA

I’m a nursing student in Santa Monica with several years of childcare experience. I currently babysit for a couple other families and have multiple references available. I’m CPR/BLS certified, reliable, and comfortable with routines, homework help, driving, activities, and light cleaning. I’m also great with pets!

“We are so grateful for Selina! She accepted a job super last minute and was so wonderful with our 4 and 9 year old. She is punctual, jumps in to help and takes initiative. My kids bonded with her immediately and can’t wait until the next time they can see her. Thank you Selina!”

Booked by 1 family in Pacific Palisades, CA

Hi! I’m a recent UC Berkeley graduate currently continuing my education through a post-graduate certificate program, and I’m looking for a consistent nannying position that works well with my class schedule. I grew up in Marin and will be relocating to Los Angeles at the beginning of November. I have several years of experience working with children and families and would love to find a family I can build a consistent, long-term relationship with while completing my certificates.

“We feel so blessed to have found Ava to help care for our son. She is kind, smart, responsible, and very reliable. Our son instantly warmed up to Ava, and that is not what always happens. He felt comfortable with her, and so did we almost immediately. She is very easy going and creates an overall calm atmosphere in our home. She finds creative ways to play with our son, she takes him to the park and let's him explore while always being there to guide him, she reads to him, she plays water games outside with him when it's warm, she builds little forts and play stations for him while he naps for him to wake up to, and she even walks our chihuahua for us while our son naps. She is never on her phone while caring for our son, ever. And she's just a nice person. We wish we had met Ava earlier, but we are so happy to have met her now. We couldn't ask for a better and more professional caregiver, and anyone would be lucky to get to work with her.”

"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."

"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)."
