Hi! I’m a recent UC Berkeley graduate currently continuing my education through a post-graduate certificate program, and I’m looking for a consistent nannying position that works well with my class schedule. I grew up in Marin and will be relocating to Los Angeles at the beginning of November. I have several years of experience working with children and families and would love to find a family I can build a consistent, long-term relationship with while completing my certificates.

“We feel so blessed to have found Ava to help care for our son. She is kind, smart, responsible, and very reliable. Our son instantly warmed up to Ava, and that is not what always happens. He felt comfortable with her, and so did we almost immediately. She is very easy going and creates an overall calm atmosphere in our home. She finds creative ways to play with our son, she takes him to the park and let's him explore while always being there to guide him, she reads to him, she plays water games outside with him when it's warm, she builds little forts and play stations for him while he naps for him to wake up to, and she even walks our chihuahua for us while our son naps. She is never on her phone while caring for our son, ever. And she's just a nice person. We wish we had met Ava earlier, but we are so happy to have met her now. We couldn't ask for a better and more professional caregiver, and anyone would be lucky to get to work with her.”

Hi parents, New to UrbanSitter, Santa Monica local for over 33 years, mom and USC Graduate. I have been babysitting and tutoring for over 30 years. Originally I came to the US as an Aupair when I was 18 and took care of an infant and elementary school age children. Over the years during college and graduate school here in LA I continued to provide part-time nanny and babysitter services. I have also continued to care for children of all ages when I became a mom because I love taking care of and teaching children and often watched friends’ kids and organized playdates when they were younger. I am very active, love the outdoors and the beach, I even own an e-scooter so I am a cool 😎 mom, and I play soccer, love to bike, hike, can teach swimming and beach and ocean safety. I am a certified USA triathlon coach and ex-triathlete and marathoner, and I also taught German and digital media classes at USC, my Alma Mater where I graduated with two Master’s degrees. I am known to be responsible, mature, caring, and loving. I love to give hugs and listen, have advanced certifications in childcare and I am First Aid/AED/CPR certified for infants, children and adults. I look forward to helping you with your babies, kids and even your furry friends 🤗

“Patricia was wonderful with my kids. She was warm, kind, thoughtful, and very present with them. She really tuned in to their individual needs, and they both felt comfortable with her right away. They had a great time together and have already asked when she’s coming back. I felt completely comfortable having her with them and would absolutely have her back.”

Hi! I'm Polly. I work in the film industry and also teach yoga in the early mornings. I own a small business where I lead children's yoga, Mommy & Me classes, and arts and crafts experiences designed to encourage creativity, confidence, and mindfulness. I'm a creative person who loves working with children and creating fun, engaging, and safe environments where they can learn and grow. For the past three and a half years, I've worked as a part-time nanny with multiple families from different backgrounds and have built strong, long-term relationships with them. I have excellent references available upon request. I'm comfortable with pets, have a clean driving record, and am a confident driver. I speak English, Portuguese, and Spanish, which allows me to connect with families from diverse backgrounds. I'd love the opportunity to support your family :)

“Polly is fantastic. She’s our go-to babysitter, watching the kids in the evenings for date night and helping in the day if we need it. The kids love her, and I feel very comfortable leaving them with her.”

Hi, I am a very friendly and loving nanny, babysitting in my free time, I am available usually daytime Tuesday to Saturday and evenings Friday to Saturday . I like to work and help families with kids different ages, newborn, specially first time parents, school age kids or I help parents have free time for yourself: meetings or dates.

"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)."
