Cassandra $25 per hour for 1 child

Greetings, my name is Cassandra. My primary qualifiers are as a mother, stepmother, foster mother, active godmother and grandmother of 2, though I am currently living alone again. My children are adults with children and out in the world living well. My professional background is as a multi-disciplinary healer since 2003 with a primary focus in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture, manual therapies, and ayurveda. Since arriving in LA in 2018, I have been hiring myself out as an educator through facilitating lectures, workshops, and seminars for local non-profit organizations, private schools and several colleges. Before moving to Los Angeles I worked as a teacher of various sciences in a private school (Orlando, FL) for learning and behavioral disabled youth from 5th-12th grade. While employed there, I developed a dynamic art program, as well. I am also a musician (voice, saxophone and sitar), a multi-disciplinary visual artist, and an ordained minister/counselor; having founded a spiritual non-profit in 2022 called the Temple of Evolutionary Emergence.

Jeemin 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Tarzana, CA

Hi, I’m Justine (Jeemin is my Korean name). I’ve spent many years living and working inside family homes—as a nanny, a mother’s helper, a household manager, and a personal chef. My love for children has always felt very natural to me, and I followed my passion by studying Early Childhood Education while earning my B.A. in Psychobiology at UC San Diego. During that time, I lived with a professional athlete and cared for his family and baby girl who was born at just 27 weeks. For almost 5 years, I was by her side after she faced six strokes and many developmental challenges. I learned, in a very real and personal way, what it means to show up every day with patience, curiosity, and love—and how constant learning, training and devoted care can help a child grow and thrive. I view my true value as providing full family support. I’m very comfortable stepping into the real, everyday rhythm of a household: early mornings, laundry, dishes, AM/PM routines, last-minute changes, and everything in between. I take a kind, clear approach to childcare: safety first, connection over correction and empathy always. I stay current on modern child development practices and am especially interested in music therapy, physiotherapy, emotional literacy, and play-based learning. In simple terms, I care about how a child feels in their body and heart, not just what they “do” in a day. I'm also a Naturopathic Cook and have been entrusted to prepare nutritious meals for children & entire households.

Justine is the real deal and honestly we can't put into words how amazing she is. Every morning she walks in and our 9 month old lights up the same way he does when he sees us. It's one of the things I look forward to every day. She puts her stuff down and forgets she even had a breakfast to eat or a tea to make because she's already fully locked in with him and he with her. That's just who she is and it never changes. She cares so much about his development and you can see it in how she approaches everything with him. Justine does not sit still. She's always doing something to make his life and ours easier without anyone asking. She jumps in and just figures it out. We trust her completely with our little one, our home, anything and when our schedule shifts she just rolls with it, no questions. She makes time. Like I said, words do not do her justice. If you're at all hesitant, don't. Shoot us a message, happy to jump on a call and tell you all about her.

Pamela $25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Pamela, and I'm 24 years old. My native language is Spanish, and I have about 50% fluency in English. I dedicate myself with care and responsibility to childcare. I'm passionate about supporting children's growth by providing a safe environment full of learning and fun. I have experience caring for children of different ages, helping with their daily routines, meals, educational, and recreational activities. My goal is always to offer families trust and to provide children with a space filled with love and respect. I am a patient, responsible, and creative person- qualities that allow me to connect with children, encourage their independence, and support their motor development. I love creating activities that spark their curiosity, promoting values such as respect and empathy, and above all, making sure they feel protected and happy under my care. I am an active teacher at my church, pet-friendly, have basic nursing knowledge, and am a responsible driver.

"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)."
