Ashley $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I have been working as an infant specialist and newborn night nurse for 8 years, and I’ve been a nanny for 10 years. I have worked as a credentialed ambulance EMT, Newborn Care Specialist, and CPR instructor. I have a spotless driving record and a Bachelor's and Master's. I am a certified Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula. I am well-versed in caring for children with special needs and providing medical treatments. I currently specialize in infants as a NCS/overnight newborn care giver. I am only seeking overnight positions at this time! I lead and care with kindness, patience, and confidence. I always take parents’ lead on preferences but am happy to provide suggestions and guidance by request. I treat the children in my care as unique individuals and work hard to understand their personalities and individuality from day one! I’ve also worked for many multiples, including many twins and a set of triplets. This includes multiples that were preemies and micro-preemies (on oxygen and heart rate monitors). If you feel I could be a good fit for your family, I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Booked by 10 families in South Pasadena, CA

Hello! My name is Shanna - I like to tell the kids it rhymes with banana. I'm a creative freelancer with a focus in writing and production, but I love to lean into my nurturing side to watch pets and kids as well. I have been watching children since I was about 12 years old, after my first Red Cross babysitting class. I love animals and children and devote much of my time and energy to them. I have a huge interest in health & wellness and I keep an active lifestyle. I am especially helpful with reading and writing related homework and I love to do crafts with the kids. Whether we are playing a board game, coloring, being active outside, or doing "kiddo yoga", my babysitting nights are always full of laughter and smiles. The greatest reward is the smile on a child's face and a grateful hug goodnight. I love to see them learn, grow, and become filled with wonder. I have experience with all ages, from infants to playful toddlers to angsty pre-teens. I intend to have children of my own one day, but for now I'd like to help your family and share the love I have to offer with yours! *Clean driving record *Brand new clear recent background check *I don't drink alcohol at all and am in good health - I'm never going to show up to the job hungover or exhausted from partying. *Need help with light organizing, folding kids laundry, supervision during a birthday party, washing bottles? I've got you. *My work background and skill set also aid in my ability to communicate well, establish clear boundaries while respecting that of others and encourage children's body safety and consent (I'm not the type to force a kid to hug me and allow them to seek comfort or offer as appropriate.) I feel competent in helping with homework and especially love to help teach reading, writing, and some sciences. I have a very creative side, helping kids with things like creating our own story book or custom made flash cards. *Glowing references available. My babysitting and pet care clients have been loyal and trust me in their homes with their loved ones. They'd be happy to speak to you about my character. Note: As of 2026, I also have a certification in nonviolent crisis intervention, specifically to support those with mental or emotional disabilities and have worked with clients with autism, adhd, ocd, and grief or depression.

Isabelle $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there everyone! I’m looking for a part time nanny job starting mid August or later! I have experience with infants to pre-teens and am searching for a great family to work with over this next year! I have my own car for transportation and I am happy to help with cooking and tidying up a bit as well. By the time I start working in the next few weeks I will have completed my OSHA-approved, American Red Cross and AHA-certification in CPR and first aid training for adults, children and infants. A little bit more about me: I'm a 23- year-old recent college grad from San Francisco State University, I was raised in San Diego and began nannying in high school. Through college I worked closely with 2 families who I developed a great bond with (happy to provide them as references!). I am bubbly, thoughtful, and driven. I have tons of experience with kids who are all ages and from all walks of life. I believe the best way to help kids with almost anything is by modeling positive behavior and emotional regulation. I like working with kids because they have a unique perspective on life, and are thoughtful and curious about everything around them. In my spare time I like to read, hike, bake, and go vintage shopping. Please feel free to reach out to me if you would like to chat about rates, availability, or any other questions you may have.

"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)."
