Booked by 4 families in Sun Valley, CA

Hi families ! I'm Natalia, I’m from Colombia, and I wanted to introduce myself and share a bit about my experience. I have over 10 years of solid, hands on experience working with children in different environments. I spent a full year as an Au Pair in Calabasas, where I was fully responsible for the kids’ daily routines school drop-offs and pick-ups, activities, homework, meals, and overall structure at home. That role required a high level of trust, organization, and consistency, and it’s been a big part of shaping the way I work with families. Even to this day, I’m still very close with the family I lived with, which I think says a lot about the relationship we built. Before that, I worked as a gymnastics coach with kids of different ages, where I learned how to manage groups, keep kids engaged, and create a fun but structured environment. I’ve also worked in a hospital setting with children, including those with special needs, which gave me a deeper level of patience, awareness, and ability to adapt to each child’s specific needs. Alongside all of this, I’ve consistently babysat over the years, working with different families and age groups. I also volunteer constantly at church with the kids groups. I’m very confident handling routines, multiple children, and creating a safe, positive environment while still being proactive and supportive to both kids and parents. ✅CAR ✅CPR ✅ BILINGUAL (ENGLISH-SPANISH) ✅GREAT WITH DOGS / PETS ✅NON-SMOKER ✅VACCINATED ✅ SOLID REFERENCES

Natalia was wonderful! She arrived right on time and immediately interacted with our children in a way that felt completely natural and genuine. Our daughter, Kelsey, took to her almost immediately, which gave us a great sense of comfort from the start. Natalia was confident, attentive, and communicated clearly and effectively. She has such a warm, sweet disposition, and it was evident that engaging with children comes naturally to her. We felt comfortable knowing our kids were in her care and really appreciated how personable and easygoing she was. We had a great experience with Natalia and will absolutely be utilizing her again. We’re very happy to have found her and would definitely recommend her to other families!

Booked by 32 families in Sun Valley, CA

Hello! My name is Marandah, and I am a 29 year old woman currently seeking occasional and part time childcare work! In my free time, I absolutely love to cook and bake, spend time outdoors (I run, hike, surf, and swim when I can), play music (singing, guitar, and piano), and write/perform short stories. Childcare has been my first and most long-lasting job-- when I was 12, a family friend would pay me five dollars an hour to walk their infant around the house in a sling until she fell asleep. I have experience with children of all ages, from newborns to teens, and am also experienced working with children and young adults with physical & developmental disabilities. Additionally, I have taught summer camp, theater workshops for children, and given swim lessons. I am a high-energy person who has always found working with kids to be engaging, dynamic, inspiring, and hilarious, and I would love to work with your family!

Booked by 13 families in Sun Valley, CA

Hello! My name is Janelle and I have been a childcare provider for 6 years now. I've cared for multiple families with kids ages 3 months - 14 years. Jobs included playtime outdoors and indoors, crafts, driving or waking them to and from school, help with homework and online learning, meal prep, morning routines, bedtime routines, light housework, and even pet care. I grew up in a big family taking care of my younger sister and my many cousins. Additionally, I have taught dance, voice, piano, and theatre over the last 10 years, so I've been working with youth for some time in many different contexts. I am currently located in the Mount Washington area of Los Angeles. I'm up to date on all of my vaccines. I am also an actor and musician, so if your child happens to be interested in the arts, this is an especially good fit! Child care is my day job of choice because I genuinely love children. They keep my spirits high and fill me with purpose. Watching them grow, and playing a part in their upbringing has been the greatest, unexpected gift since I started this journey. Thanks for taking the time to read! I look forward to meeting you and your family! :)

Janelle is wonderful! She was on time, super communicative, and really kind. I receive credits for urban sitter through work, and since I don't have kids was looking for someone to do some housekeeping. She did a great job and we look forward to having her back!

Booked by 12 families in Sun Valley, CA

I graduated from East LoS Angeles Community college. I received my associates in child development. I just received my bachelors at Cal State LA in Child Development. I used to be a foster mother so I know transitions can be hard for some children. I have two children of my own but they are now in elementary and I am looking to work in taking care of others peoples beautiful children in the process. I am a dog mom as well therefore I don’t mind taking walks around the block with your little one and your fur baby if that is something you’re interested in. Being outdoors and showing children, elderly and pets how beautiful the day is something I enjoy doing. I am familiar with IEP therefore if your child needs extra help by communicating with baby sign language I can help with that. The one thing I like to mention is I know my alphabet in 3 different languages and I find it a fun thing to teach children. Working on cognitive, gros motor and fine motor skills is also an important factor for me that I would love to implement with your child if you are interested. 😊

"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)."
