Find nannies in Universal City, CA

Hi, I’m Melissa and I keep my calendar up to date! Parents have told me they’ve had a lot of sitters they’ve booked on UrbanSitter cancel or not show up. I find that shocking! You can count on me. 💗 Parents of type 1 diabetics—I got you. I can carb count, monitor CGM, site changes, treat highs & lows, the whole thing. I’ve been type 1 since age 8 and I use a Tandem pump with Dexcom. I've been sitting through this site since Nov 2013, usually ~30 hours per week. I've seen it all! My style with kids depends on the type of people they are (kids’ personalities vary just like adults’ do) and what the parents advise and prefer. I'm flexible! I love to travel to parks, I have a lot of great crafts up my sleeve, I know endless children's songs, I'll do as much physically active play as my body can take! I want the kids to have a good time and remember their experience with me fondly, while also keeping everyone safe & sound. I love hanging out with little folks. I love to hear what they think and see life through their eyes. Kids have unique perspectives. They are learning so much so quickly and from everywhere they can, so it's incredibly important to be mindful of that as a caretaker, modeling patience, good humor, seriousness when it's important to be serious, and attentiveness to the emotional needs of others. Kids can be funny, cute, curious, sweet, accidentally profound, and often super-bossy. They're exhausting in the best possible way. I also just adore infants and toddlers and I could hold them and play with them all day! I have been known to quickly figure out how to accommodate even the most challenging babies. I aim to be flexible! It’s OK if you need to cancel, I will not be upset or expect payment. It's perfectly OK to come home early, I will not expect payment for the full booking time. I will always stay longer if you need me to as well, so long as it doesn't interfere with another booking. I understand life is unpredictable and I hope I can make life easier for parents. Just keep me in the loop and I'll do the same.

Hey Parents! My name is Jessica and I was born and raised in Austin, TX. I graduated with a BA in Theater Arts from the University of Texas at Austin. I have been a babysitter/nanny off and on for the last 13 years. I have looked after newborns and children up to 14 years of age. I truly enjoy spending time with them and being apart of their development journeys. My responsibilities have included picking up/driving children, light child-related household duties, putting down for naps/bedtime (we love a nap routine!), cooking/preparing meals, feeding, helping with homework, reading, going out for walks, and of course general care and playtime! In my off time I have founded a nonprofit called Orísun Collective, and we host creative arts summer camps for kids in Nigeria. I would run the camp as well as teach the acting class. My hope is that all children will have the space and support to be their full selves and reach their full potential. I am a very goal-oriented person, and I know that I am capable of achieving every single thing I put my mind to. I have been hosting an event every 6 months for the last 10 years called Girls With Goals, where I bring a group of women together at my house and we talk about our goals, write them down, and keep each other accountable throughout the year. Everyone always leaves inspired and motivated to conquer their goals!

Hello 👋🏾 My name is Kirah! My passion for kids started at a young age. Being the oldest of 8 also played a role within childcare because my siblings were my first taste of “babysitting” then of course came cousins, a friend of a friend and so on. My favorite thing about babysitting is being able to bond with the child and the parent is now at ease knowing their child is comfortable and cared for. My favorite thing to do is “adventure walks” simple as exploring their neighborhood during a walk. Fresh air and sight seeing can be fun! I have been working in childcare for almost 5 years professionally and hope to one day open my own daycare. I live in the Los Angeles area, with my own transportation. I am vaccinated as well as CPR + First aid certified. Please let me know if you need any assistance. I look forward to hearing from you.

I am a graduate student at the University of Southern California. I went to the University of San Francisco for my undergrad, and ended up spending 7 years living in the city. Originally, I am from Texas and I have a younger brother and sister, and am older than most of my cousins so I have a lot of experience with kids and teenagers. I also mentored at Corey Elementary school during my junior year of high and at Boles Jr. High school during my senior year of high school. I used to babysit with this app all throughout undergrad so I have plenty of experience! I also have no pet allergies. Thanks for your time!

Dear Parents, I am a former preschool teacher and I do one on one Kindergarten readiness classes. If your child is between 3-5 and needs skills for the years ahead, I am here. My approach is to use play-centered activities to guide them toward learning useful skills needed for school. Children develop in safe and comfortable environments and what better place than their own home and a skilled teacher. I help with letter and number recognition, beginning sounds of the alphabet, establishing left or right handedness, etc. My graduate degree is in Primary Education and I have a valid Child Development Permit issued from California. Currently, I am free some days, most evenings and on weekends. I do have FBI clearance and I do have a parent you can call for a reference but basically my years of experience speak for itself. I look forward to hearing from you. Choose me if you want someone fun-loving and responsible. Current CPR and First Aid Training. Thank you Erica
