Jayelle $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents! I am a kind, creative, and patient nanny. I have six years of experience with kiddos 0-13 years old, including neurodivergent children, and love engaging them in active and creative play. I love the happy chaos of working with siblings and am comfortable caring for 3+ children at a time. I'm happy to help with light meal and snack prep, kid related tidying, and I have a clean driving record with a safe, insured car. I am warm and communicative, and love working with families that are the same!

Mireille $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mireille (pronounced Miray), and i’m a warm, reliable, and attentive nanny with a strong background in child development and family care. I’m currently pursuing my master’s degree in clinical psychology at Pepperdine University (marriage & family therapy track), which has given me a deep understanding of children’s emotional, behavioral, and developmental needs at every stage. I have several years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, including working with high-profile families under NDA. I take pride in creating a calm, structured, and nurturing environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to grow, learn, and explore. My approach blends warmth with gentle structure. I love planning engaging, age-appropriate activities, supporting learning and creativity, helping with routines and homework, and being a steady, positive presence in a child’s daily life. I’m especially attuned to emotional regulation, communication skills, and building secure attachments. Families often describe me as dependable, thoughtful, patient, and naturally intuitive with children. I genuinely love what I do, and I bring intention, care, and professionalism into every home I work in. I would love to be a supportive extension of your family and help your children thrive. 💛

Booked by 1 family in Sherman Oaks, CA

Hi! I’m Elisabeth. I truly enjoy spending time with children and animals—especially dogs and cats. I believe they bring so much joy and positivity, and I love creating a safe, caring, and fun environment for them. Spanish is my first language (I’m from Argentina), and I’m happy to speak both Spanish and English with families. I’ve been caring for children since I was young, helping neighbors as well as my sister. After moving to Los Angeles, I gained experience working with infants, toddlers, and older children. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each child’s unique needs. I also bring 18 years of professional experience in a different field, which has strengthened my reliability, organization, and communication skills. I look forward to supporting your family!

Elisabeth was amazing with our 10 month old baby.

Booked by 4 families in Sherman Oaks, CA

Hello,  I have worked as a helping hand for busy parents in prioritizing their kid's needs by showing them compassion and patience. Through my guidance, I can show them to be gentle and to help encourage them to become the best they can be. I also speak English, and Spanish and am currently learning a new language, Italian. In the course of being a nanny, I have taught children to speak Spanish.    I have five years of babysitting experience, but I have more than that. Growing up with siblings, I was my mother’s helper, and I could manage caring for multiple children at once. I ensure they’re engaged in exciting, safe, and educational activities.    My experiences and personal skills make me an ideal candidate for your family. I hope to hear from you soon.    Best Regards, Katie

"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

"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)."
