Natalie $29 per hour for 1 child

I’m a deeply compassionate nanny and educator with over fifteen years of experience caring for children of all ages, with a special focus on infants and toddlers. I hold a Master’s degree in Education and am a graduate of Loyola University Maryland and the University of Illinois . My approach is child-led and rooted in observation, allowing each child’s interests to guide learning, play, and daily routines. I’ve worked as an assistant director at a Montessori-inspired farm school and as a full-time nanny here in California for an infant and a toddler. I’m fluent in Spanish, a musician, and I love incorporating music, art, and time outdoors. I care deeply about children’s emotional well-being and strive to create calm, nurturing environments where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to grow.

Bahia $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Bahia, a recent art graduate from UC Santa Barbara and a longtime childcare provider. I’ve been babysitting for 5+ years and have also worked as an art educator, camp counselor, and Art Director, so I’m very comfortable caring for kids of different ages and personalities. I love finding creative ways to keep kids engaged, whether that’s painting and crafts, going outside, playing games, helping with homework, or coming up with a fun project together. I’m happy to follow a family’s routine and am also comfortable taking initiative and planning activities when needed. I’m responsible, patient, organized, and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. I also have experience working with groups of children, managing activities, and creating a safe and welcoming environment. I’d love to get to know your family and become someone you can feel comfortable relying on!

Avery $30 per hour for 1 child

I’m an Angeleno by way of Austin and absolutely love it. I currently nanny after school for a family and am looking to fill out my schedule more with another position either in the morning or date nights. I love children and can find a good time in playing tag in the yard to decorating sugar cookies or belting Let It Go at the top of my lungs. I've had experience caring for children ranging from newborns to 12 years. I'm an energetic, fun, responsible person who loves kids. I have previous work experience as a swim instructor and as a lifeguard. I look forward to hearing from you!

Bella $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Izabella, and I am a 22-year-old licensed esthetician currently attending Pasadena City College, where I am studying Child Development. I have always enjoyed working with children and have been babysitting since I was younger. I officially began working as a professional nanny a little over a year ago and have experience caring for children between the ages of 2 and 12. In addition to providing attentive and nurturing childcare, I am comfortable preparing meals, keeping the home tidy, caring for pets, running errands, and assisting with other household tasks as needed. I am responsible, dependable, and passionate about creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment for children.

Lucy $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Lucy! I recently graduated from Colorado State University, where I earned my bachelor’s degree in Communication Studies. I have several years of childcare experience, including nannying for two years throughout college, babysitting throughout high school, and working as a summer camp counselor and lifeguard. I’ve cared for children of a variety of ages, including babies and young children, and I’m also Red Cross CPR certified. I’ve always genuinely loved working with kids. Growing up, I was lucky to have nannies who became such special people in my life, and that has really shaped the kind of caregiver I try to be. I want kids to feel safe and comfortable with me while also creating a fun, loving, friendship-like relationship with them. I’m dependable, patient, nurturing, and very comfortable becoming part of a family’s everyday routine. I’m happy to help with everything from playtime, walks and activities to meals, naps, bedtime routines, school pickups, and light household tasks related to the kids. I also love animals, so I’m more than comfortable in homes with pets! My goal is always to be someone both the children and parents genuinely trust and feel comfortable having around.

"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)."
