Booked by 19 families in Pasadena, CA

Hello, My name is Kateryn, and I am a preschool teacher with over 10 years of experience working with children. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education and have also worked as a substitute teacher with students from Kindergarten through 12th grade, including children with special needs. In addition, I have experience caring for children of all ages, including newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-age children. I am CPR certified and up to date on my vaccinations. I have a passion for helping children learn and grow in a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment. I also enjoy animals, music, and creating fun learning experiences for children. If you have any questions or would like to know more about my experience, please feel free to reach out. I would be happy to answer any questions. Thank you, Kateryn Diaz 🍓

“Kate is very sweet and calm! My baby is suspicious of new people and wanted her to hold him right away. She was great with my 4 year old too. Such a nice person will definitely hire again!”

Booked by 14 families in Pasadena, CA

Literary and Play Focused Nanny Christina is an Infant Development Specialist and Caregiver Educator with over a decade of experience supporting infants and toddlers through play-based, literacy-integrated, child-led care. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Child and Adolescent Development and is credentialed by the International Nanny Association, certified as a Newborn & Infant Care Specialist by the U.S. Nanny Association, and trained as an Integrated Infant Development Consultant. Her approach is grounded in children’s cues and relationships and guided by early brain science and close observation, supporting regulation within the natural flow of care. Because reading felt challenging to her as a child, Christina is passionate about making early literacy feel safe and relational, integrating it into play and daily routines rather than treating it as a performance skill. She specializes in playroom cultivation and learning environment design that supports curiosity and emerging developmental patterns. Seeking Full-Time W/-2 Payroll Position

“Christina was a phenomenal night nanny. She was highly professional and focused, and easy to work with. She was punctual, reliable, and came up with ideas to help improve our kids' care.”

Booked by 13 families in Pasadena, CA

I graduated from East LoS Angeles Community college. I received my associates in child development. I just received my bachelors at Cal State LA in Child Development. I used to be a foster mother so I know transitions can be hard for some children. I have two children of my own but they are now in elementary and I am looking to work in taking care of others peoples beautiful children in the process. I am a dog mom as well therefore I don’t mind taking walks around the block with your little one and your fur baby if that is something you’re interested in. Being outdoors and showing children, elderly and pets how beautiful the day is something I enjoy doing. I am familiar with IEP therefore if your child needs extra help by communicating with baby sign language I can help with that. The one thing I like to mention is I know my alphabet in 3 different languages and I find it a fun thing to teach children. Working on cognitive, gros motor and fine motor skills is also an important factor for me that I would love to implement with your child if you are interested. 😊

Booked by 23 families in Pasadena, CA

Hi! My name is Justine. I am 30 years old. I have been babysitting for over a decade and have 5 years of professional nannying experience. I have recently relocated from Chicago to the Los Angeles area. That being said, my experience ranges from working with toddlers to school aged children. I have helped with homework extensively throughout my career. Other responsibilities I have held in the past include cooking meals and shuttling kids to their various activities. I also was in charge of other household duties such as: creating grocery lists, shopping, etc. I am a punctual, professional and hands on nanny. My goal is to create a safe, positive space for children to develop into the best versions of themselves. I am a patient, loving, and committed nanny to all of my kids. Outside of childcare, my interests include reading, self education, cooking, gardening, herbalism, and stopping to sniff the flowers. I look forward to speaking with you, Justine

"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)."
