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!

Sandy $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!

Jackson $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jackson, and I’ve spent the last 4–5 years working with children ages 1–18 in a wide range of settings. I’m currently a Behavioral Technician at an elementary school, where I provide daily support in SPED classrooms. I specialize in working with autistic children and have experience both as a 1:1 in-home support provider and in full classroom environments. I’ve cared for toddlers, school-age kids, teens, and students with diverse needs. My responsibilities have included but are not limited to diaper changes, homework help, behavior management and intervention, implementing individualized behavior plans, and overall providing any help that a child or parent might need. I’m also comfortable with general household support such as cleaning, meal prep, and keeping routines structured and consistent. In addition to childcare, I have two years of experience in elder care, including assisting with daily tasks, transportation, companionship, and helping to maintain a safe, supportive environment. A little about me personally: I’m born and raised in Los Angeles, and I’m studying music production while working in education. I’m patient, creative, organized, and I genuinely love building trust with the families I work with. Whether you need someone reliable for after-school care, structured behavioral support, or a calm presence at home, I’m happy to help!

"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."

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)."
