Samantha 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi - my name is Sam and I moved to LA two years ago. I had been working with my previous nanny family for a year and a half and am now looking for new families to work with. I am offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I started working with children when I was in middle school and began helping out at a family friend’s daycare and preschool. Since then, I have worked one on one babysitting for families since high school. I have experience with newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I also have experience working as a dance teacher, teaching students from kindergarten to high school and managing classes up to 10 students. I am also happy to care for pets. I have mostly cared for dogs, but also have experience with cats and rodents. I am also available for housesitting!

We give Sam our highest and most enthusiastic recommendation. She has been with our family for nearly two years, and during that time she has proven herself to be an exceptional nanny and caregiver in every sense. Sam is consistently punctual, reliable, and a clear, thoughtful communicator. She manages our two children — currently a 2-year-old and a 6-month-old — with remarkable ease, confidence, and care. Whether engaging them in play, providing attentive and nurturing care, or planning age-appropriate learning activities, Sam brings patience, creativity, and genuine warmth to everything she does. She is equally capable both at home and out in the world. From organizing enriching indoor activities to confidently taking both girls out in a double stroller for trips to the park, Sam ensures they have opportunities to socialize, explore, and play — all while maintaining excellent safety awareness and judgment. Her ability to independently manage both children’s needs simultaneously is truly impressive. Sam also assists seamlessly with preparing simple breakfasts, lunches, and bottles, helps tidy up after playtime, and is excellent at managing sleep and nap schedules. She is organized, proactive, and always respectful of our routines and preferences. Beyond her skills, Sam is responsible, respectful, and deeply caring. She is affectionate and attentive with our children and has built a meaningful, loving bond with them. She has also been a joy for us to work with as parents — trustworthy, kind, and professional. While we are saddened that we won’t be able to have Sam with us as much moving forward, we know that the next family fortunate enough to work with her will be welcoming a truly special young woman into their home. She is all that and more as a nanny, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.

Brittney $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Brittney, a graduate of Woodbury University, and I offer dependable childcare, senior care, pet care, and household assistance. I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic caregiver with more than 10 years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, school-aged children. I truly enjoy helping children feel safe, supported, and engaged. My experience includes school drop-offs and pick-ups, arts and crafts, baking, reading, tutoring, outdoor activities, games, and creative play. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow each family’s routines and preferences. I also have personal experience caring for my grandmother and understand the importance of patience, companionship, and reliability when supporting seniors. I’m comfortable preparing meals, providing transportation to appointments, running errands, and assisting with everyday tasks. As a lifelong dog owner, I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I currently have an active 10-year-old Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix, so I’m very comfortable with walking, feeding, playing, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. In addition, I can help keep your household running smoothly by cooking, doing laundry, running errands, and assisting with other household needs. I take pride in being dependable, organized, trustworthy, and someone families can feel comfortable welcoming into their homes.

"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)."
