Danielle $22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Sherman Oaks, CA

I'm an experienced babysitter and nanny originally from Austin, Texas. I was an Au pair in Sydney, Australia and worked as a nanny in Austin for 4 years. I've nannied for two families in NYC in the five years that I've lived there and I love kids. I've worked with all ages from toddlers to teenagers. I've also traveled with some of the families I've nannied and done overnights when the parents have gone out of town. When I was younger I volunteered with kids in the past, teaching them how to read. I'm currently living in LA and I'm looking for occasional work. Let me know if you have any questions, I'd be more than happy to discuss further what you are looking for. I look forward to hearing from you!

Iliana 1 review
$28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Iliana (Illy), and I offer reliable childcare and household support for families looking for someone responsible, attentive, and genuinely caring. I have experience working with children ages 3–12 through after-school programs, summer camps, and daycare settings. I’m also comfortable caring for infants through teenagers (up to 15) from experience through my own family. My experience includes supervising daily routines, engaging kids in activities, maintaining a safe environment, and supporting structured schedules. In addition to childcare, I also provide household help, including light cleaning, cooking, and running errands. I’m organized, dependable, and respectful of family routines and expectations. I’m a cat lover and very comfortable working in homes with cats. I am comfortable with dogs but they can be super needy sometimes, haha. My availability is weekday mornings and full days on weekends up to 7 PM, and I’m happy to discuss consistent schedules or specific needs. I take trust seriously and aim to be someone families can rely on and feel comfortable welcoming into their home.

“Iliana is a very trustworthy babysitter, and I would definitely recommend her.”

"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)."
