Agathe $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Agathe, I’m a 26 years old french filmmaker located in Los Angeles since 2023. I have been working with kids for years while building my career. I have always loved working with kids, I started babysitting when I was about 13. My mom worked as a preschool/elementary school teacher her whole life and I was often helping her out with her classes, preparing activities and hanging out with the kids. A lot of part time jobs came out of this as the parents were happy to hire someone their kids already knew, until I started being a full time nanny at the age of 22. I have often been described by families as very patient, playful, a great listener, very positive and dependable. I love art and really enjoy encouraging children to be creative. I love teaching them simple life skills and watching them grow into their own little person. When a family is comfortable with outings, I love taking kids to the park, the beach/pool, play dates, museums, movies, any activities they have and places they love. I am used to helping with homework, light housekeeping (tidying up, cleaning dishes, light meal prep, folding kids laundry when needed, going to the store to help with groceries…). I am also super comfortable with babies and toddlers and have always had an easy time following babies routines, putting down for naps, changing diapers, helping regulate emotions during tantrums, reading stories, bottle feeding, etc. Oh and I am an animal lover so very happy to help with any pets that you might have! As for my experience as a nanny, I got my first full time nannying job in France in 2022 and took care of two boys (1 and 3) 40 hours a week and really enjoyed it. I then moved to LA and have been working as a part time nanny here for the past few years (about 20h/week) and would love to find new families to work with as my last kid just started full time school! My schedule is very flexible, I work on my art on my own time for now so I can adapt to anything and am available pretty much everyday. I can happily send references to families both here in LA or in France. Contact me if this sounds like a good match!

During my college years I worked at a Barre3 exercise studio as a child caretaker, where I would look after children (ages 0-7) while their parents worked out! During this time I also nannied two children for a year, ages 6 months and 3 years old. I have always loved working with children as my mum worked as a nanny for 25 years and has always shown me great qualities of being a caregiver. I'm super energetic, creative, patient, and soft spoken; so having fun while also calming situations are my strong suits!

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."

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)."
