Hi, I’m Carla! I’m a caring and dependable nanny with over 5 years of experience working with infants, toddlers, and young children in both daycare and private home settings. I truly enjoy creating a safe, nurturing, and structured environment where children can learn, grow, and feel comfortable. I love incorporating creative activities like singing, dancing, reading, and play-based learning into daily routines to support early development while keeping things fun and engaging. I’m patient, attentive, and always mindful of each child’s unique needs and personality. I have experience working closely with private families, maintaining clear communication, respecting household routines, and providing reliable, consistent care. I’m known for being trustworthy, organized, and proactive, and I take pride in building strong relationships with both children and parents. My goal is always to support families by creating a positive, safe, and well-balanced environment where children feel happy and cared for every day. I’d love to connect and see if I’d be a great fit for your family!

Julia Los Angeles
$28 per hour for 1 child

I have experience babysitting school age children and focus on bringing curiosity, structure, and fun to the time we spend together. I have the most experience with that age group, but I can adapt to different ages and needs. I’m happy to help with homework and enjoy supporting kids academically. I’m currently getting my MBA at UCLA Anderson and looking for part-time work during my spare time. I previously worked in client services, where I learned to be reliable, communicative, and attentive to individual needs. I also help care for my father after a stroke, which has taught me patience and responsibility. I’ve also done house sitting and am very comfortable caring for both homes and pets. I love pets of all kinds, I have two dogs and have fostered many others, including senior dogs. I’m punctual, responsive, and easy to coordinate with, and I’m happy to help with meals, pickups, errands, and household tasks.

"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."

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)."
