Hello, I'm Damaris! I have over 10 years of experience caring for children from 4 months to 15 years old, and I love what I do. I am a kind, caring, patient, and responsible caregiver who enjoys creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment for children. With me, your children will enjoy a variety of activities: reading stories, playing, doing crafts, singing, dancing, exploring nature, and even learning Spanish if they wish. I also love animals, so pets are never a problem. I have an impeccable driving record and feel comfortable driving children to their activities. I will gladly provide excellent references upon request. My rate is flexible and depends on the job, hours, and responsibilities. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions; I'd be happy to chat with you!

Hi! I’m Lesley. I’ve cared for children of different ages over the years and have been lucky to build relationships with several wonderful families, including families who have invited me back regularly. I really enjoy getting to know each child’s personality and helping them feel comfortable, happy, and safe while their parents are away. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I’m happy to follow the routines that work best for your family. Depending on your child’s interests, we might spend our time playing games, making crafts, reading, getting outside, or working on homework. I’m also comfortable helping with meals, bedtime, and other daily routines. Alongside babysitting, I’ve worked professionally in business and operations for several years. That experience has made me very organized, communicative, and comfortable handling unexpected situations calmly—but when I’m with children, my focus is always on making sure they feel cared for and have a good time. A little more about me: I love traveling, staying active, exploring Los Angeles, and spending time at home with my two cats. I’m an animal lover and am very comfortable in homes with cats or dogs. I know how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your children, and I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

Hello! I’m Kim, your go-to fun-loving, nanny who’s ready to bring a spark of 90s magic to your child’s day. With over 20 yrs of nannying experience paired with 3 years volunteering as a firefighter, I’m here to inspire, protect, and make every moment an adventure. Safety? That’s my top priority. With my certifications in occupational first aid and food safety, plus hands-on experience as a volunteer firefighter, you can trust that I am prepared to handle anything that comes our way. But here’s the real magic: I’m all about recreating that pure, unfiltered joy of childhood. The kind we remember from the 90s. Imagine those long summer days spent outside, begging for just a little more time before the streetlights came on. The jeans with stubborn grass stains your mom can’t seem to get out because your nature walk turned into fairy chasing quests. Proudly sporting battle scars from trying to nail that elusive kick-flip. Muddy hands from concocting mysterious potions. Those agonizing stretches of boredom proclaiming “there’s NOTHING to do!” that somehow turned into wild bike rides to the library to research urban legends, backyard obstacle courses, and unforgettable sleepovers filled with choreographed dance numbers, way too many Totino’s pizza rolls and maybe a couple prank calls. When I’m with your kids, forget Youtube and Fortnite. Choosing me means choosing someone who cares just as deeply about their growth and happiness as you do. It truly weighs on my heart to see how many children today are missing out on the kind of childhood we were fortunate to have. The simple, carefree days filled with imagination and curiosity that made growing up feel special. I want to help your child have those same experiences where they can just be themselves and enjoy being a kid. Have you tried and failed to find a nanny who shares your same values? Are you tired of hearing your kids say the babysitter is boring? Have you burned yourself out juggling schedules around babysitters who moonlight as actors and only want to work when they’re not auditioning? Then let’s meet! I might just be the missing piece to the puzzle you’ve been trying to solve. Being a nanny isn’t just a side gig for me; it’s what I love doing and I take pride in making it my profession. I genuinely enjoy working with children and making a positive difference in families lives and I’d be happy to bring that energy to your home. Thank you so much for your time and I can’t wait to meet you all!

Kimberly was a wonderful sitter! She was very easy to communicate with prior to our care date and was very flexible on the day of, she was able to accommodate our need for her to come a bit earlier and stay later than expected. We were traveling for a family wedding so this was so very much appreciated! She watched five kids, ranging from 2 to 6 years old and they all said they had a blast. She followed all our instructions and asked great questions. I would highly recommend Kimberly to anyone!

I have extensive experience caring for children of all ages, and I specialize in applied behavioral analysis. Currently, I work in a school setting, supporting autistic children and children with disabilities in their development. I create a fun, engaging, and safe environment that fosters both learning and growth. My approach emphasizes structure and developmentally enriching activities, using play-based techniques to make learning enjoyable. For instance, I might turn toys into counting tools or transform everyday moments into skill-building opportunities. I am a compassionate, patient, and dedicated caregiver who genuinely loves working with children. Since the age of 15, I have cared for children, including those with autism, ensuring they feel supported, valued, and empowered. My goal is to provide a nurturing and educational space where children can thrive emotionally, socially, and cognitively in the classroom and at home, ultimately building productive individuals who contribute positively to society.

Ariana was awesome! She planned a fun day with my two daughters 5 and 2, was communcative, on time, and very sweet and reliable! 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)."

Eric D., dad of two
