I come from a big family, I have 6 siblings, 3 sisters and 3 brothers! I am offering child care, and pet sitting services. I have always been around children growing up since I am the oldest!

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

Hi! My name is Janiece, and I would love to help take care of your little ones. I have a genuine passion for working with kids and creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment. With experience in teaching and a bilingual background in Spanish, I enjoy helping children learn and grow through play and engaging activities. I also love to sing, dance, and play dress-up—your kids and I are bound to have a blast unleashing our creativity! Whether we’re baking cookies, cooking up fun meals, or diving into a world of imagination, I’m all about making sure every moment is enjoyable and memorable. I used to work at the YMCA daycare and summer camp for three years. Going on explorations to the park, swimming classes, and other outdoor outings like movie theatre, and shopping runs. We would also have creative freedom time such as coloring, building, and science experiments. But would also stay in the facility working with newborns and toddlers. I then transitioned to helping high school students, helping with homework, and class work. I currently am an assistant art teacher. Helping with 3d art and sculpture. As well as creating schematics in architectural design. In some cases I also sit one on one helping students with presentations, papers, attire, and verbal communication. I’d be honored to support your family by bringing positivity, patience, and a touch of fun to your home.

“Janiece did great with our toddler and did a ton of activities while we needed care. She was reliable, kind, and flexible when we were running behind and needed to add more time. I would rebook 100%.”

Booked by 1 family in South Pasadena, CA

Decades of experience with the added spice of an artist is what you get! Oldest child in my family coupled with being one of the oldest cousins with additional neighborhood children always around means it’s been many years of childcare experience for me! I currently help with a 4 year old boy and a 1 year old girl regularly. Years back I helped a family with 4 kids. I’m an excellent aunt to my nieces and nephews too!

Hands-on experience caring for children, as a dedicated parent, which gives me deep empathy, patience, and understanding of children’s needs and routines. Patient and nurturing: I know how to meet people where they are—especially helpful for seniors or children who need extra time or support. Reliable and responsible: I show up consistently and take pride in doing work right. Service-minded and communicative: I genuinely care about others and know how to connect with them, whether it's a child needing reassurance or a senior needing companionship. Detail-oriented: I keep track of routines, medications, schedules, or special instructions without missing a beat.

“Reliable, safe choice for help :)”

Booked by 4 families in South Pasadena, CA

Hey there! My name is Olivia and I am a professional nanny and family assistant located in Los Angeles. I’ve been working as a nanny for about 10 years and have experience with children of all ages (infants, toddlers, elementary-school, middle-school). Over 5 years of those were working full-time for various high-profile families in San Francisco. Given my experience as a family assistant, I am eager to help out in any way your family needs—whether it is organizing, doing dishes, cooking meals, or doing laundry. I have my B.A. magna cum laude in English and Comparative Literature from UCLA and my MFA in Creative Writing from SJSU. Before my return to nannying, I worked as a 6th-12th grade English teacher in Palo Alto. That said, I can also offer basic tutoring or homework help for your child. I am happy to match your family’s style as needed. Generally, I use a RIE/respectful parenting approach when providing childcare (I have a RIE certification for nannying). I can provide household duties as needed (cleanup, laundry, errands, etc.) I also have a reliable car that I can use for childcare duties if need be. I am also a huge animal lover and open to pet care/pet sitting as needed! I look forward to meeting you!

“Fantastic and very professional. Highly recommend!”

"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)."
