Lilly West Hollywood
$25 per hour for 1 child

I’m the oldest of seven, so caregiving has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a single-parent home, I naturally stepped in to help my mom with everything from homework and bedtime routines to meals and keeping the house running. Those early years taught me how to be patient, responsible, and calm under pressure, and they’re a huge reason why I’m so comfortable working with kids today. Outside of my own family, I’ve spent time caring for children in my community and during college. I worked at youth camps and served as a counselor, leading activities, helping kids build friendships, and supporting them through the ups and downs of being young. I also worked with the Boys and Girls Club, mentoring kids both academically and socially. Those experiences helped me develop my own style of caregiving — warm, creative, and centered around helping each child feel seen and capable. I recently graduated from college, and my education helped strengthen my communication and leadership skills. I love finding ways to connect with kids individually, whether that’s through reading together, exploring their interests, or creating simple learning moments in everyday tasks. As a caregiver, I’m dependable, gentle, and adaptable. I don’t come in just to supervise; I like to really learn each child’s personality, what comforts them, what excites them, and how to support their growth. I’m also great with busy households and don’t mind pitching in with things like meal prep, light cleaning, organizing, homework help, errands, or pet care. I’ve been doing those things my whole life. I have over 7 years of experience caring for children from infancy through age 15, and I’ve had the privilege of nannying for multiple families with diverse needs and personalities. I’m open to both live-in and full-time roles depending on the family’s needs. More than anything, I care about building trust, creating a calm and happy environment, and making life a little easier for the families I work with.

Sandy Los Angeles
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Sandy! I have over 8 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants and toddlers to school-age children. I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. I hold Associate Degrees in Behavioral Science and Health Science and am CPR and First Aid certified. My background has given me a strong understanding of child development, positive behavior guidance, and the importance of building trusting relationships with both children and parents. Families describe me as dependable, patient, organized, and attentive. I enjoy planning age-appropriate activities, helping with homework, encouraging creativity, and supporting healthy routines. I am also comfortable with meal preparation, diaper changes, bath time, bedtime routines, school pick-ups and drop-offs, and light housekeeping related to the children. As a bilingual caregiver fluent in English and Spanish, I can help expose children to a second language if desired. I have reliable transportation, a clean driving record, and excellent references available upon request. My goal is always to provide parents with peace of mind, knowing their children are in caring, capable, and responsible hands. I look forward to connecting with your family!

Responsible and caring childcare provider with extensive experience working with children from elementary through middle school.

$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Julie, and I’m a dedicated, patient, and energetic nanny with over two years of full-time childcare experience. Before becoming a nanny, I worked as an ESL teacher for children ages 4–14, where I developed a love for helping kids learn and grow through engaging, age-appropriate activities. I’ve cared for infants, toddlers, twins, and school-aged children, supporting everything from developmental milestones and language skills to homework, creative play, and daily routines. I’ve also worked alongside occupational and speech therapists, reinforcing children’s goals at home with consistency and encouragement. I believe every child deserves to feel safe, valued, and confident. I strive to create a nurturing environment filled with learning, creativity, and fun while maintaining clear communication with parents. I’m CPR & First Aid certified, fluent in English, and always bring a positive, reliable attitude to every family I work with. I look forward to finding a family where I can make a meaningful, long-term impact!

"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)."
