Hello! I’m a high-profile Nanny who recently relocated to Wid-City area. I hold an AA degree in Social and Behavioral Sciences, plus certificates in Early Childhood Education and an Associate Teacher’s Permit from UCLA Extension. Working with children has been my passion for as long as I can remember. I started babysitting at 15, and over the past 30+ years, I’ve cared for children of all ages—in homes, schools, and even for military families while parents were deployed. As a former licensed family childcare provider and Early Childhood Educator, I’ve managed groups of up to 20 children and am comfortable supporting kids with developmental disabilities and behavioral challenges. I bring a lot of energy and creativity to my work. Storytelling is one of my favorite ways to connect with children—I’m animated, expressive, and love sparking their imagination. I also enjoy teaching fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination through hands-on learning, creative play, and arts projects like jewelry making. My goal is always to make learning fun while building confidence and curiosity. I love pets, but am extremely allergic to cats, rabbits (EpiPen).

Hi families! My name is Nathaly, and I’m based in Santa Monica. I have a background in international relations and human rights, and I’ve spent many years working to make the world a more fair and inclusive place. Alongside that work, I’ve always had a deep love for caring for children. I bring a calm, nurturing presence and truly enjoy helping kids learn, play, and grow in a safe and loving environment. Whether it’s reading stories, exploring the outdoors, or creating fun activities together, I always try to encourage curiosity and kindness. I’m also multilingual — I speak English, Portuguese, and Spanish. If you’re looking for someone dependable, warm, and thoughtful to care for your little ones, I’d love to connect!

Náthaly made our first time using UrbanSitter a very positive experience. She was fantastic! Punctual, professional, and very reliable. Our son loved how engaged and patient she was, and we appreciated her thoughtful, calm approach. We felt completely at ease and have already booked her again.

Hi, I'm Malia! I am 30 years old and have been working in childcare since 2011. I spent the last 3 years as a nanny for a family caring for the children from 4 months-3 years old. Before that, I spent 5 years working as a substitute teacher at an early childhood education center where I worked with infants through Pre-K classes. I graduated from Portland State University in 2019. I love to go on walks, explore parks & neighborhoods, dance, sing, play guitar, read, and bake. Creativity and mindfulness are very important to me. I am hoping to share my care and optimism with your children and whole family. I am currently available for occasional sitting as well as flexible week to week schedules.

Mailia was great, upbeat, professional and helpful

"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
