Vira $20 per hour for 1 child

Dear Hiring Family, My name is Jazzmine (currently finalizing this as my legal name; my present legal name is Vira Faith Becker), and I am applying for the live-in / or live out nanny position within your home. With over a decade of childcare experience, I offer a dependable blend of structure, creativity, and cultural values. Born in Odessa, Ukraine and raised in the United States since 2005, I’ve cared for children from infancy through the teen years across Nashville, Atlanta, and Southern California including families with up to four children, twins, and special needs children. Throughout my work, I’ve built environments where children feel safe, have fun, creative, and encouraged to be independent. My childcare style integrates Montessori and Waldorf principles with arts, music, dance, outdoor exploration, age-appropriate learning, and I incorporate Russian and Spanish to children’s daily conversation. I am available also for overnights, travel [(regionally ready) *updating passport for international travel] sick-day care, holidays, school days off, last minute, and miscellaneous moments. Summer 2025, I served as a live-in nanny for a 22-month-old, leaving only because the family is in Midwest and my calling is to be in California. I’m comfortable preparing vegetarian global meals, coordinating transportation, maintaining household structure, and assisting with light housekeeping. Professionally, I have worked in guest services at Macy’s DTLA, where I delivered high-quality service, supported multiple departments, and maintained strong performance until the store’s permanent closure. Afterward, I traveled to 15 different locations in the United States, expanding my cultural awareness and strengthening the empathy and adaptability I bring into private homes. In addition to childcare, I worked as a performer and character actress in Hollywood LA last day 9/10/2026. I am grateful as it enhanced my communication skills, creativity, patience, and ability to stay energetic in fast-paced settings all qualities that naturally elevate my work with children. I am fluent in English and conversational in Russian and Spanish, with ongoing study in both. I hold CPR & First Aid certification and maintain an active background check. I would welcome the opportunity to support your household with reliability, consistency, and 100 % integrity. Thank you for your time and consideration, I hope to be the right nanny for your growing family! -Sincerely Jazzmine

Maci $20 per hour for 1 child

I’ve been babysitting for almost 4 years now. I started off with years of vacation bible school, then childcare at church every Sunday. I am very active personally so I like to do the same with the kids; art, reading, learning to cook, nature walks, etc. I have done senior care at a mental health facility as well, pet sitting, house sitting. I have very open availability as I’m attending college online. Can’t wait to meet you!

isabel $35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Sherman Oaks, CA

Hi! I’m Isabel, a professional nanny with 8 years of experience caring for children ages 5 to 15 in Los Angeles. I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy watching kids grow — helping them with homework, cheering them on at activities, and being a reliable, caring presence in their daily lives. I have extensive experience with school pickups, activity coordination, homework support, and preparing light meals. I’m patient, organized, and attentive to each child’s individual needs and personality. One thing families especially appreciate is that I’m fully bilingual in English and Spanish — great for bilingual households or parents who want their kids exposed to a second language naturally. I come from Seville, Spain, where I studied at Universidad Pablo de Olavide, and I bring warmth, structure, and a little European flair to every family I work with. References from families I’ve worked with are available upon request!

"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."

"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)."
