Kate Burbank
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone! My name is Kate and I'm a recent Cal Poly graduate with over three years of experience caring for children ages 1–15. Most recently, I spent the past year as a nanny for two children (ages 11 and 14), helping with school pick-ups, homework, transportation to sports and activities, errands, meal prep, and creating fun, engaging experiences throughout the week. I'm dependable, energetic, reliable, and love building strong relationships with the families I work with. I'm also comfortable with light household tasks and have my own car. I have 2 dogs and a cat myself, so I love being around pets! Fun Fact: I was on my college dance team for 4 years! I've danced and been active my whole life, so I like to engage kids in that as well. I also have two younger sisters. I'm looking for part-time work any day of the week, ideally on a consistent week-to-week schedule. And I can also do night time for date nights, a night out, etc. – whatever you need! I can provide references upon request. Looking forward to connecting with you!

Sandy Los Angeles
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Sandy! I have over 8 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants and toddlers to school-age children. I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. I hold Associate Degrees in Behavioral Science and Health Science and am CPR and First Aid certified. My background has given me a strong understanding of child development, positive behavior guidance, and the importance of building trusting relationships with both children and parents. Families describe me as dependable, patient, organized, and attentive. I enjoy planning age-appropriate activities, helping with homework, encouraging creativity, and supporting healthy routines. I am also comfortable with meal preparation, diaper changes, bath time, bedtime routines, school pick-ups and drop-offs, and light housekeeping related to the children. As a bilingual caregiver fluent in English and Spanish, I can help expose children to a second language if desired. I have reliable transportation, a clean driving record, and excellent references available upon request. My goal is always to provide parents with peace of mind, knowing their children are in caring, capable, and responsible hands. I look forward to connecting with your family!

Ariadni Winnetka
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Ariadni, I am currently completing my last year at CSUN. I have also completed schooling for CCMA and have received my Medical Assistant certification from the NHA. I have 3 years of experience as a Physical Therapist aide at Sports Academy Thousand Oaks. As an aide I have worked with adults, teens, and children. 2[removed] I committed a year to volunteering at Shepherd of the Hills in Porter Ranch in their kid’s ministry. I helped take care of 2nd-5th grade boys and girls every weekend. With the kids I would do arts n’ crafts activities, play board games, color, and be a friend they can talk with. From 2022 til now, I have also been a youth leader at my church for a group of 6th grade girls who are now going into 10th grade. I meet with them every Wednesday night and plan on continuing to do so until they graduate high school. I am very comfortable around children and my goal after school is to go into PA school to eventually become a pediatric PA. I am also comfortable around pets, especially dogs, as I have a husky myself and I couldn’t ask for a better dog :)

Samantha 1 review
Los Angeles
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi - my name is Sam and I moved to LA two years ago. I had been working with my previous nanny family for a year and a half and am now looking for new families to work with. I am offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I started working with children when I was in middle school and began helping out at a family friend’s daycare and preschool. Since then, I have worked one on one babysitting for families since high school. I have experience with newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I also have experience working as a dance teacher, teaching students from kindergarten to high school and managing classes up to 10 students. I am also happy to care for pets. I have mostly cared for dogs, but also have experience with cats and rodents. I am also available for housesitting!

We give Sam our highest and most enthusiastic recommendation. She has been with our family for nearly two years, and during that time she has proven herself to be an exceptional nanny and caregiver in every sense. Sam is consistently punctual, reliable, and a clear, thoughtful communicator. She manages our two children — currently a 2-year-old and a 6-month-old — with remarkable ease, confidence, and care. Whether engaging them in play, providing attentive and nurturing care, or planning age-appropriate learning activities, Sam brings patience, creativity, and genuine warmth to everything she does. She is equally capable both at home and out in the world. From organizing enriching indoor activities to confidently taking both girls out in a double stroller for trips to the park, Sam ensures they have opportunities to socialize, explore, and play — all while maintaining excellent safety awareness and judgment. Her ability to independently manage both children’s needs simultaneously is truly impressive. Sam also assists seamlessly with preparing simple breakfasts, lunches, and bottles, helps tidy up after playtime, and is excellent at managing sleep and nap schedules. She is organized, proactive, and always respectful of our routines and preferences. Beyond her skills, Sam is responsible, respectful, and deeply caring. She is affectionate and attentive with our children and has built a meaningful, loving bond with them. She has also been a joy for us to work with as parents — trustworthy, kind, and professional. While we are saddened that we won’t be able to have Sam with us as much moving forward, we know that the next family fortunate enough to work with her will be welcoming a truly special young woman into their home. She is all that and more as a nanny, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.

"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."

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)."
