Juliane Los Angeles
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Julie, and I’m a dedicated, patient, and energetic nanny with over two years of full-time childcare experience. Before becoming a nanny, I worked as an ESL teacher for children ages 4–14, where I developed a love for helping kids learn and grow through engaging, age-appropriate activities. I’ve cared for infants, toddlers, twins, and school-aged children, supporting everything from developmental milestones and language skills to homework, creative play, and daily routines. I’ve also worked alongside occupational and speech therapists, reinforcing children’s goals at home with consistency and encouragement. I believe every child deserves to feel safe, valued, and confident. I strive to create a nurturing environment filled with learning, creativity, and fun while maintaining clear communication with parents. I’m CPR & First Aid certified, fluent in English, and always bring a positive, reliable attitude to every family I work with. I look forward to finding a family where I can make a meaningful, long-term impact!

Samantha Los Angeles
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Samantha, and I bring over 10 years of experience working with children as a teacher, along with hands-on experience caring for my nieces and nephews. I hold two associate degrees—one in Child Development (Special Needs) and one in Child Development (Early Education)—and I am currently pursuing my bachelor’s degree in Communication Disorders with a focus on Speech and Language Pathology. I have experience working with children of all ages and enjoy creating a safe, supportive, and fun environment where kids can learn, explore, and feel comfortable being themselves. I love engaging children in activities like arts and crafts, imaginative play, reading, and outdoor time, and I’m happy to help with homework, routines, and light meal prep when needed. In addition to childcare, I also offer pet care and am very comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I can assist with feeding, walking, and playtime, and I truly enjoy being around animals. I pride myself on being patient, reliable, and attentive, and I always strive to create a positive experience for both children and families. I would love the opportunity to support your family!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
