Leilani $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Leilani. I am currently finishing school to become a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN), and in the meantime, I am working as a nanny. I have several years of experience caring for children, including my cousins and siblings. I genuinely love working with kids and find it to be a joyful and rewarding experience. I'm patient, responsible, and attentive, and I always strive to create a safe and fun environment for the children in my care. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, visiting them whenever | can. I also love painting, going to the park or the beach, and reading. These hobbies help me stay creative and active, which I like to bring into my work with children as well. I hope to connect with a family soon and would love the opportunity to support and care for your children.

Joy $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello I'm a dependable caregiver with 15+ years of experience supporting children of all ages through roles at the YMCA, Disney Cruise Line, UCI, and in EdTech. I’ve led before- and after-school programs, camps, and family services, consistently bringing structure, creativity, and care to each setting. I recently completed a 4-year role as a part-time nanny for a family and am now available for weekday and select weekend care in the Long Beach area. I love engaging children through hands-on, screen-free activities like arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, music, and reading. I focus on creating calm, safe environments where kids feel supported and excited to learn. Whether caring for an infant, guiding a toddler through daily routines, or supporting a school-aged child with homework and social-emotional development, I tailor my approach to each child’s needs. I’m happy to assist with school drop-offs, pick-ups, light meals, homework, and pet care. I prioritize open communication and build strong, trusting relationships with every family. If you're looking for a calm, reliable caregiver who’s truly invested in your child’s well-being, I’d love to connect!

Cleonix $27 per hour for 1 child

I am a 26 year old South Bay resident passionate about childcare and my local community! I’ve always been proud to be the person families call when they need someone they can count on- especially when life gets busy, unpredictable, or just a little chaotic. I’m confident and comfortable caring for children as young as six months all the way up to teens. I aim to always bring a calm, positive presence to the home. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your child with someone- and I fully show up for that responsibility. I’m dependable, always on time, and genuinely care about becoming a supportive part of your family’s day-to-day. I am also experienced and comfortable with working alongside parents who are at home while I provide care. I know how helpful it can be to have a second set of hands to care for your children! At the same time, I bring warmth, fun, and creativity to the time I spend with kids. I focus on age-appropriate play that encourages imagination, independence, and confidence. Whether it’s storytelling, art, make-believe games, or getting outside for movement and fresh air, I love helping kids stay curious, joyful, and engaged. I know that these early years are so important to set them up to be the best adult versions of themselves one day. I also have a creative background- I earned my degree in Communications from UC Santa Barbara and have worked as a freelance photographer and creative communicator. That side of me comes out naturally when I’m with kids, whether it’s through art projects or fun crafts or story time. I know how much it means to find someone who fits seamlessly into your world and makes life feel a little easier- and I’d love to help your family!

"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
