Clara 2 reviews
$26 per hour for 1 child

Hi Families, my name is Clara. I have lived in the West Los Angeles area for over 25 years and bring extensive experience as a nanny working with children of all ages, with 15 years of strong, joyful references. I am also a mother myself. I am CPR/First Aid certified, TrustLine registered, and have an excellent driving record. I am currently seeking a part-time position and occasional date night care. My availability is Monday from 8:00 AM–9:00 PM, Tuesday and Thursday from 8:00 AM–6:00 PM, and weekends from 11:00 AM–midnight. I am passionate about supporting children’s growth and development while prioritizing safety and ensuring they have a fun, engaging, and nurturing environment. I am hands-on and enjoy interactive play, reading, talking, singing, supporting nap and feeding routines, and helping with transitions. I also maintain a clean and organized space related to the children, including toys and laundry, and enjoy outings to parks and libraries. I am experienced in supporting potty training and navigating toddler transitions with patience and care. I value being a collaborative part of a family’s support system and believe in strong communication and teamwork with parents. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and also have conversational Japanese skills. I enjoy introducing children to cultural diversity and helping broaden their understanding of the world in age-appropriate ways. I would be honored to support a loving family and look forward to the opportunity to connect.

Clara has been a nanny for both of our boys for years, and we could not have been happier with her care. She (still even after a couple of years since we had her) exudes love for them. Her energy is magnetic, and the boys were always kept busy and engaged. She would take them on adventure walks, constantly clean up messes, and ALWAYS communicated if something was a safety concern. We always took comfort when the boys were in her care because their safety was her top concern. On top of that, she treated us and our boys like family. It was never just a job for her. To this day, we still get together for dinner and for some holidays. Any family would be lucky and blessed to have Clara part of their lives. She is truly a gem!

Booked by 2 families in Tarzana, CA

I am 27 , from a small town in Oregon. I have been in LA since September of last year. I am currently in school for massage therapy and chinese medicine, also getting my yoga teacher certification. I love animals, being outside, cooking, doing art, sewing, yoga, skateboarding, anything that gets my body moving or allows me to express my creativity. I am the oldest of 4 siblings so I have tons of experience with many different ages. The ages of children I’ve worked with are 5 months to 16 years. I have my postpartum doula certification as well, looking to expand my knowledge into assisting births as well :) I am also open to a personal assistant type role. I am a very kind, patient and compassionate person so your kiddos will be in the best hands! I am a kid at heart. I am someone you will be able to trust, as I am very responsible, respectful and attentive. I also have my own car and don’t mind helping out with commutes or pick ups/drop offs. I look forward to connecting :-) Ideally I am looking for something longer term part time ! I have my passport and am open to travel as well.

Sascha is a reliable, enthusiastic, caring sitter. She is attuned to my 6month olds needs, has great energy, and naturally partners with me to provide a calm, positive environment for my son. I look forward to when she is with us as I know her presence will make it a great day.

Hello, I'm Cami! I’ve been working with kids since high school through babysitting and tutoring, and for the past three years I’ve also worked as a tennis coach for children.

I am a bilingual Spanish speaker, intermediate in French and a beginner in Japanese and Korean. In my free time, I love doing puzzles, playing games, and spending time with my dog, Moe 🐶

Tiffany 1 review
$27 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Tiffany, I’m currently a college student studying Health Science. I offer babysitting, nannying and pet care services. I’ve been working with children for over 11 years, including experience as a daycare assistant and babysitting kids of all ages(Newborns - Teenagers). I truly love creating a safe, nurturing, warm, and fun environment where kids can learn, grow, and just be themselves. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I also have experience caring for children with special needs, including autism, aspergers and ADHD. I’m patient, adaptable, and always try to meet each child’s individual needs. I speak Korean fluently and have some knowledge of Spanish and Japanese, which helps me connect with a variety of families. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, creative activities like crocheting and pottery, and music (I play bass guitar!). I love incorporating crafts, outdoor time, and fun learning activities into my childcare style. I’m happy to help with things like playtime, schedule building, homework, light housekeeping/meal prep, and keeping routines on track. If you have pets I also don't mind pets of any species and size. I became a caregiver because I genuinely enjoy supporting children’s development and being a positive, reliable presence in their lives. Being told "You're the BEST babysitter/nanny ever" brings me so much joy, so I strive to achieve that with every family. I look foward to hearing from you and your family!

Tiffany has been caring for my daughter since she was born. As a premature baby, she required extra attention, and Tiffany was incredibly attentive and quick to learn all of Kaylee's unique needs. Over the years, she's continued to support her growth and development. Kaylee is now 12, and Tiffany has been a consistent, trusted presence in her life.

Hi – My name is Ajai, and I am a college graduate offering child care and household services. I have a deep passion for babysitting, cultivated over 13 years of experience caring for children of all ages. My journey began with watching my younger cousins and family members, which inspired my love for child care. Since then, I have provided babysitting services for date nights and have served as a nanny for families over extended periods. My responsibilities have included playing with children, meal preping, tutoring, and transporting children to and from school. I look forward to the opportunity to provide reliable and loving care for your family.

Ajai is very energetic friendly and engaging. My daughter lad a blast when I was away. They went out to playground. When I came back my daughter and her puppy looked happy.

"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)."
