Nadtine $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in South Gate, CA

Hi! My name is Nadtine. I’m currently in nursing school and also work as a behavioral technician, where I’ve gained years of experience working with children of different ages and personalities. I have over 5 years of paid childcare experience working with kids ages 4 and up, and I’m BLS and CPR certified, and I have experience in ABA as a behavioral technician. Growing up as the oldest sibling with three younger brothers taught me patience, responsibility, leadership, and how to keep up with lots of energy! I also grew up playing soccer and other sports, so I love staying active, playing outside, and creating fun activities for kids instead of just relying on screens all day. I’m very clean, organized, dependable, and comfortable around pets. Kids naturally tend to warm up to me quickly because I’m caring, energetic, and easy to talk to. Whether it’s helping with homework, bedtime routines, meal prep, sports, crafts, or simply making sure your child feels safe and supported, I always do my best to create a positive and fun environment. I truly love working with children and look forward to building great relationships with both kids and parents. I can’t wait to meet y’all!

This young lady cared for our child from the age of two months until our child was three years old, and she did an exceptional job. She was outstanding in every aspect of care, including preparing meals, ensuring daily walks and park outings, and providing educational activities such as teaching our child Spanish. Most importantly, she consistently respected and followed the boundaries we set as parents with great care and professionalism. Entrusting someone with our child is not something we take lightly, and she exceeded our expectations in every way. We highly recommend Ruth to any family seeking a reliable, attentive, and trustworthy caregiver.

Chelsea $40 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Chelsea. I am a Los Angeles-based nanny with over 11 years of experience caring for infants and toddlers. After four years, the little one I've cared for is off to Pre-K! I am TrustLine registered, CPR certified, and First Aid certified. I take a RIE approach to childcare that is gentle, respectful, empathetic, and playful. I grew up with an interest in both art and sports, so I'm just as happy sitting down to draw, build, play games, or read together as I am spending the day outside. I enjoy creating thoughtful, screen-conscious days filled with play, conversation, laughter, creativity, and opportunities to build confidence. Whether we're visiting a park, library, museum, or simply enjoying a walk together, I love helping children discover and engage with the world around them. My goal is to provide children with consistent, loving care while giving parents peace of mind. I believe in setting clear, consistent boundaries, encouraging effort, and maintaining a positive and relaxed mindset. I am light-hearted, open-minded, and dependable. I care about being aligned with the families I work with, and I’m open to taking direction. If this sounds like a good fit for your family, I'd love to hear from you. Thank you!

"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)."
