Assata $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Tarzana, CA

Hi, I’m Assata! I’m a dedicated and compassionate caregiver with over five years of experience supporting children, families, and individuals across different stages of life. Growing up with two much younger brothers gave me early hands-on experience and a strong understanding of children’s emotional and developmental needs. In addition to direct caregiving, I’ve worked with youth through community-based and nonprofit programs, facilitating educational and enrichment activities for children ages 7–16. I’ve supported programming in school and recreational settings, including collaborations with LAUSD and Parks & Recreation, helping create structured, engaging, and supportive environments for young people. I value creating calm, nurturing spaces where children feel safe, seen, and encouraged. I’m CPR certified and comfortable assisting with light household tasks, errands, and daily routines, offering families a reliable and thoughtful extra set of hands.

Nicole $24 per hour for 1 child

Born and raised in Tampa, Florida with roots from Cuba, I bring a warm and family oriented spirit to every home. I interned as an audio engineer in Manhattan New York for 2 years. I have four nieces and nephews ranging from 1 to 18 years old, so caring for children feels second nature. I’ve babysat in Calabasas, work at a children’s store near Beverly Hills. I’ve been in Los Angeles for 5 years and hold current CPR and First Aid certifications. I’m patient, playful, and love teaching, learning, and creating fun activities. Outgoing and encouraging, I bring both a girly touch and a tomboy energy that helps me connect with every kind of child and I love animals!

Eleanor $20 per hour for 1 child

My name is Eleanor and I am originally from the UK! I am 30 years old and a photographer here in Los Angeles. I grew up with a large blended family of 7 with me being one of the oldest. My first job as a babysitter was when I was 14 years old and I babysat for my parents friends children al the way through high school. During my college years I worked at a Barre3 exercise studio as a child caretaker, where I would look after children (ages 0-7) while their parents worked out! During this time I also nannied two children for a year, ages 6 months and 3 years old. I have always loved working with children as my mum worked as a nanny for 25 years and has always shown me great qualities of being a caregiver. I'm super energetic, creative, patient, and soft spoken; so having fun while also calming situations are my strong suits!

isabel $35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Tarzana, CA

Hi! I’m Isabel, a professional nanny with 8 years of experience caring for children ages 5 to 15 in Los Angeles. I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy watching kids grow — helping them with homework, cheering them on at activities, and being a reliable, caring presence in their daily lives. I have extensive experience with school pickups, activity coordination, homework support, and preparing light meals. I’m patient, organized, and attentive to each child’s individual needs and personality. One thing families especially appreciate is that I’m fully bilingual in English and Spanish — great for bilingual households or parents who want their kids exposed to a second language naturally. I come from Seville, Spain, where I studied at Universidad Pablo de Olavide, and I bring warmth, structure, and a little European flair to every family I work with. References from families I’ve worked with are available upon request!

"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)."
