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!

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Tarzana, CA

Hey there! My name is Olivia and I am a professional nanny and family assistant located in Los Angeles. I’ve been working as a nanny for about 10 years and have experience with children of all ages (infants, toddlers, elementary-school, middle-school). Over 5 years of those were working full-time for various high-profile families in San Francisco. Given my experience as a family assistant, I am eager to help out in any way your family needs—whether it is organizing, doing dishes, cooking meals, or doing laundry. I have my B.A. magna cum laude in English and Comparative Literature from UCLA and my MFA in Creative Writing from SJSU. Before my return to nannying, I worked as a 6th-12th grade English teacher in Palo Alto. That said, I can also offer basic tutoring or homework help for your child. I am happy to match your family’s style as needed. Generally, I use a RIE/respectful parenting approach when providing childcare (I have a RIE certification for nannying). I can provide household duties as needed (cleanup, laundry, errands, etc.) I also have a reliable car that I can use for childcare duties if need be. I am also a huge animal lover and open to pet care/pet sitting as needed! I look forward to meeting you!

Perri $40 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Perri. I have several years of experience caring for children of all ages, including a family of three with a special needs child. Additionally, I have volunteered at my church's kids ministry for over a year caring for children from babies, toddlers, and early tweens. I love making kids feel safe, supported, and truly entertained. My own childhood was full of fun, and I aim to bring that same joy into the lives of the kids I care for. Whether we’re doing bedtime routines, snacks, games, or homework, I always bring positive energy and genuine connection! Families value my professionalism, calm presence, and strong communication. I’m available on weekends and select weeknights, and I’m committed to creating a safe, joyful, and reliable environment for your children!

Tessa 1 review
$28 per hour for 1 child

I’m currently seeking my next consistent, long-term daytime nanny position beginning in late August or September, ideally around 30+ hours per week. I have several years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and older children in both full-time nanny roles and flexible babysitting positions. I'm comfortable managing the full day-to-day routine including meals, bottles, diaper changes, naps, playtime, outdoor activities, school pickup, bedtime, and tidying up. Parents appreciate that I’m calm, reliable, communicative, and able to step into a family’s routine quickly. I’m patient and attentive, and i focus on creating a calm, warm, and fun energy with kids. I’ll be starting graduate school at LMU this fall, primarily with evening classes, so a daytime nanny role would fit very well alongside my studies. I’m based in Mid-City near Culver City and am especially interested in families on the Westside and near LMU. I’m also available for temporary nanny coverage, date nights, and occasional babysitting when my schedule allows.

Tessa has been absolutely fantastic, and we’ve loved working with her. Although she’s new to UrbanSitter, she was happy to provide references, which we really appreciated. From the start, she was communicative, punctual, and professional leading up to each appointment. While caring for our son, she carefully listened to and followed our schedule and preferences around feeding, sleeping, and routines. She was incredibly attentive and engaging with him, and he clearly adored her. We’ve now worked with Tessa a few times and will absolutely continue to hire her in the future. 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."

"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)."
