Airicka $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi Families, My name is Airicka, and I’m excited to introduce myself! I’m new to Los Angeles and looking forward to building meaningful connections within the community. My husband is currently pursuing his college basketball career, and while we’re here, I’m focused on continuing my education in real estate school and staying productive in a positive way. I’m looking to support families who need a reliable, trustworthy, and caring sitter. I genuinely enjoy being around children and creating a safe, fun, and structured environment where they feel comfortable and supported. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing light meals, bedtime routines, or planning engaging activities, I’m attentive and patient with every child I care for. Being in school has strengthened my time management, responsibility, and organizational skills. I take pride in being dependable, communicative, and respectful of each family’s routines and parenting style. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your children with someone, and I strive to provide that peace of mind. I’m excited to become a trusted resource for families here in Los Angeles and would love the opportunity to connect with you! Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to speaking with you soon. ❤️❤️

Marieke $30 per hour for 1 child

With 16 years of experience as a nanny, I've spent most of that time caring for children between 5 months and 5 years old, and I genuinely love this work. I'm patient, creative, and easygoing, and I quickly build warm, trusting relationships with both kids and parents. I believe communication is key, so I'm happy to keep you updated regularly in whatever style works best for your family. I'm comfortable enforcing house rules consistently, and I love spending time outdoors and incorporating educational activities into our day. I can also help with cooking, carpooling, and swimming supervision, and I'm CPR certified for added peace of mind. Above all, my goal is to be a reliable, supportive caregiver your family can count on.

"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)."
