Hi! I’m Vera. I’m currently studying for my bachelor’s degree in Accounting and have been caring for children of all ages, from newborns to school-aged kids. I’ve cared for infants, toddlers, and older children through children’s camps, helping family members and day care. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, so safety is always my top priority. I love creating fun, engaging activities that keep kids learning whether we’re painting, baking, riding bikes or scooters, visiting the skate park, practicing piano, guitar, or working through homework together. Along with childcare, I also offer household assistance, including meal prep, cooking, laundry, organizing, light housekeeping, errands, and transportation to and from school or activities. I’m comfortable with pets too.

Hi my name is Mariah and I am a dancer/performing artist originally from Philadelphia, PA. I've been teaching dance to children ages 2-18 for about 10 years and was often the go-to family babysitter before moving to LA. I started working through Urban Sitter about 8 years ago as a nanny,babysitter, and tutor and have experience with all ages (infants-teenagers). I absolutely love working with children and am grateful for every opportunity I get to do so. With every job it is always my goal to provide a creative, active, safe and fun environment. I'm a natural performer/entertainer and children are honestly my favorite audience 🤗 ... Aside from dancing I love playing sports, reading, outdoor adventuring and fashion.

Hello families! My name is Mary, and I have over 15 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to school-aged children. I am CPR and First Aid certified, TrustLine registered, and have excellent references from families I have worked with throughout the years. I am a loving, patient, reliable, and energetic caregiver who truly enjoys helping children learn, grow, and have fun in a safe environment. I enjoy planning educational activities, arts and crafts, reading, outdoor adventures, and age-appropriate learning experiences that keep children engaged and happy. I am currently looking for a wonderful family to work with and would love the opportunity to become a trusted part of your child’s life.

“We have used Mary’s babysitting services for the past couple of years, and we have been extremely happy with her. We still use her whenever we attend weddings, birthday parties, date nights, or other special events because we know our child is in safe and caring hands. Mary loves doing fun and engaging activities with children and always keeps them active, happy, and entertained. She is trustworthy, dependable, and always on time. I would highly recommend Mary’s services to any family looking for a babysitter or full-time nanny. She is caring, responsible, and wonderful with children. You will not be disappointed. Sincerely, Ani”

👋 Hi there!! My name is Alejandra and I’ve provided nanny services to families for 10+ years (including HP families) I have been taking care of newborns, toddlers and older kids as well (I can provide references) and kids with special needs. Throughout my experiences of watching/raising children, I’ve driven them to/from school, took them to private classes, played with them and made sure that they are happy, healthy, and safe always! Assisted with night routine, provided cooking for the kids and help with light tied up after the kids (I don’t mind to do light tied up in general and help with light cooking but I don’t do housekeeping chores) I’m CPR and First Aid certified. I speak Spanish and English, I can speak some Portuguese and Italian. I’ve been taking some courses (because I always like to learn new things and I find them helpful) including: Nutrition and cooking for kids, Foundation of Positive Psychology Specialization, Everyday Parenting. I love to do outdoor activities and workout in my free time, reading, traveling and watch movies! I also have experience watching dogs, including walking, feeding, playtime, and potty time. I absolutely love both kids and animals and would love to be able to work with your family!

Booked by 23 families in Universal City, CA

Hi! My name is Justine. I am 30 years old. I have been babysitting for over a decade and have 5 years of professional nannying experience. I have recently relocated from Chicago to the Los Angeles area. That being said, my experience ranges from working with toddlers to school aged children. I have helped with homework extensively throughout my career. Other responsibilities I have held in the past include cooking meals and shuttling kids to their various activities. I also was in charge of other household duties such as: creating grocery lists, shopping, etc. I am a punctual, professional and hands on nanny. My goal is to create a safe, positive space for children to develop into the best versions of themselves. I am a patient, loving, and committed nanny to all of my kids. Outside of childcare, my interests include reading, self education, cooking, gardening, herbalism, and stopping to sniff the flowers. I look forward to speaking with you, Justine

"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)."
