Hello! My name is Nathalie and I’m a recent college graduate from California State, Dominguez Hills (December 2025) with a Bachelor's of Science in Child Development along with a concentration in Early Development and Learning. I’m currently a substitute teacher a few times a week and nannying several times a week. I plan to study for my teaching credential this Fall. I have previously worked as a private nanny, afterschool program teacher, and a behavioral therapist. I'm determined to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment. I’m proficient in active supervision, adapting to new environments, engaging in play and leading activities to avoid screen-time use. I can help support with pickups, drop offs, homework and errands. I'm patient, nurturing, empathetic, thoughtful, responsible, and passionate about creating a safe space to ensure a positive experience for you and your child.

Booked by 12 families in Torrance, CA

I have been babysitting with UrbanSitter since 2019. I enjoy playing with kids, laughing, challenging them to problem solve, and teaching them random skills. I also work as a math tutor; I studied math at Rio Hondo College and at UC Irvine. I’m a big sister, an aunt, and a mentor. My younger sister graduated college and went on to earn an MBA; my niece graduated from college and is now a nurse. I am an animal lover and I have a very sweet dog. He is about 10 years old and he is a husky, lab mix. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Lorraine was great! Our toddler is often shy, but she warmed right up to Lorraine. I would definitely recommend her!

Greeting Parents, My name is Robyn, and I am 27 years old. I have been passionate about childcare since I was a teen. I first began helping my grandmother with her at home daycare. Even at family gatherings, I was the one happily caring for babies—changing diapers, feeding, and soothing them to sleep. I truly believe children make the world brighter, and it brings me joy to support their growth and well-being. I would love to be apart of your family, please reach out for further inquiry or questions.

Robyn was great with our 2.5 year old and 5 month old! So attentive and calm. Was able to do the dinner and nighttime routine. Kept us updated and our kids loved her! So happy we found her!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
