$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in South Pasadena, CA

Hi, I’m Justine (Jeemin is my Korean name). I’ve spent many years living and working inside family homes—as a nanny, a mother’s helper, a household manager, and a personal chef. My love for children has always felt very natural to me, and I followed my passion by studying Early Childhood Education while earning my B.A. in Psychobiology at UC San Diego. During that time, I lived with a professional athlete and cared for his family and baby girl who was born at just 27 weeks. For almost 5 years, I was by her side after she faced six strokes and many developmental challenges. I learned, in a very real and personal way, what it means to show up every day with patience, curiosity, and love—and how constant learning, training and devoted care can help a child grow and thrive. I view my true value as providing full family support. I’m very comfortable stepping into the real, everyday rhythm of a household: early mornings, laundry, dishes, AM/PM routines, last-minute changes, and everything in between. I take a kind, clear approach to childcare: safety first, connection over correction and empathy always. I stay current on modern child development practices and am especially interested in music therapy, physiotherapy, emotional literacy, and play-based learning. In simple terms, I care about how a child feels in their body and heart, not just what they “do” in a day. I'm also a Naturopathic Cook and have been entrusted to prepare nutritious meals for children & entire households.

“Justine is the real deal and honestly we can't put into words how amazing she is. Every morning she walks in and our 9 month old lights up the same way he does when he sees us. It's one of the things I look forward to every day. She puts her stuff down and forgets she even had a breakfast to eat or a tea to make because she's already fully locked in with him and he with her. That's just who she is and it never changes. She cares so much about his development and you can see it in how she approaches everything with him. Justine does not sit still. She's always doing something to make his life and ours easier without anyone asking. She jumps in and just figures it out. We trust her completely with our little one, our home, anything and when our schedule shifts she just rolls with it, no questions. She makes time. Like I said, words do not do her justice. If you're at all hesitant, don't. Shoot us a message, happy to jump on a call and tell you all about her.”

isabel $35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in South Pasadena, 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!

"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)."
