Maria $28 per hour for 1 child

About Me Hi! My name is Maria and I have over 5 years of experience working as a nanny. I truly enjoy caring for children and creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where they can learn, grow, and feel supported. I have experience caring for children of different ages and can assist with daily routines, meal preparation, homework, transportation, bedtime, and engaging activities. I always strive to meet each child’s unique needs with patience and kindness. In addition to childcare, I also provide household assistance, including light housekeeping, organizing, laundry, meal preparation, and running errands. I am also comfortable caring for pets and making sure they receive the attention and care they need. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors. I love going to parks, relaxing at the beach, and participating in outdoor activities. I believe staying active and spending time in nature brings positive energy and creativity to every day. I am reliable, punctual, responsible, and attentive to each family’s individual needs. My goal is to provide dependable care and create a positive, trustworthy relationship with both children and parents. I look forward to the opportunity to support your family!

Autumn $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Autumn and I've recently returned to my hometown of Los Angeles. Firstly, I am a people person! From babies, to children to adults, I am able to connect, serve, meet or play. I come from a large family, so working with and caring for others is in my genes. I was an au-pair in Hamburg, Germany to an infant and her 3 year old sister, as well as a nanny to two pre-teen sisters in Berkeley, CA. With both families I tutored, cooked, played games, crafted, offered transportation, advised, championed, provided recreational activities and sang lullabies. I have assisted elders with tender care, errands, out of state relocation and aquatic exercise! (I recently became a lifeguard and certified swim instructor) Years ago I even learned how to make balloon animals. I am an extremely organized person, very clean, able to cook anything and believe that human connection is always the goal. I drive an all electric vehicle and have a clean driving history. I am the sole caretaker of 2 sweet cats but have also looked after friend's dogs in the past. As a child I had a pet mouse, snake, parakeet and hamster so I'm comfortable with all types! I pay close attention to detail and am excellent at anticipating needs. My friends ask why I'm not a therapist because I'm a great listener AND I'm a certified masseuse. I have much to offer individuals and families of all sizes. Being a caregiver is so much more than customer service as it requires sincere intuition and heart. One has to navigate personal needs while also being present of mind to consider safety, technicalities and timelines. I'm also experienced in home renovations should any minor repairs be required. Collectively, I possess the personal qualities, the particular skillset and the creative talents to care for animals, homes and humans of all ages.

"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)."
