Booked by 14 families in Universal City, CA

Hi families! My name is Jenny. Currently 31 years old! I have 10+ years of experience being a nanny. (I can provide with references.) I currently live in Atwater village, very close to Glendale. I love to be active, take kids on walks, go to museums, libraries. I am very organized, clean, responsible and patient. I love play time, learning, and having fun with the littles. I also know how to cook basic healthy meals and can also run errands for families and do light house work such as tidying up the house, make kids beds, clean kids rooms, toys, clean kitchen after meals. etc, I can also do kids laundry if needed. I am reliable and always on time. I strive to make sure my employers and I have a great relationship. I'm a good communicator with a friendly attitude. I'm also very clean and promise to always respect and honor any rules! If interested please respond with job duties, expected hours and schedules, and what you expect as a nanny/ family helper! Thank you so much! *CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE*

Jenny started working with us when our daughter was only 4 months old. She’s been coming 3x’s a week for over a year and she’s been such a blessing. She’s timely, sweet, cooks amazing fresh meals, and our daughter absolutely LOVES her. They play, read, go out to the park, go for walks, etc. I get several texts daily with updates and pictures, which I love to see while I’m away at work. She speaks Spanish and English with her. I can leave for work with confidence that our daughter will be happy and cared for as if she were her own. We absolutely love Jenny and 100% recommend her to help with your family. We’ve been so fortunate to have her work with us the last 14 months and hope to have her in our lives for many years to come.

Over the last 10 years I have worked as a childcare provider in different capacities: babysitter, after-school nanny, elementary school tutor, pre-k daycare assistant, camp counselor, etc. Happy to provide references and/or put you directly in touch with my past families to hear about their experience.

Maddy was very nice, professional and flexible. I look forward to working with her again.

*I have 15 months' experience as a nanny for a family Los Angeles. It was a positive, loving, respectful, and all-around fun household, and I was lucky to be a part of their family for so long! I cared for a girl and a boy (now aged 2 and 4) from 7am-4pm, Monday-Friday, driving them to and from preschool, took them to the library for story time, walked to the park with the double stroller, baked and cooked with them, worked with them in the vegetable garden, and provided consistency with the family's potty training approach. I also facilitated mealtimes, naptime, and often bathtime and bedtime as well. I adopted the family's conflict resolution strategies as my own, because they work well for everybody involved. (Stopped when I moved.) *In 2016-17, I was a part-time sitter for a 10-/11-year old girl with ADHD (I have ADHD too, so it was easy to empathize with her and practice strategies.) I picked her up from after-care, made dinner, helped with homework, and tried my best to be a positive presence in her life. (Stopped when her family moved.) ~ About me ~ *I am upbeat, curious, and try to practice empathy with all the humans I meet. *I am a Certified Holistic Nutritionist, so I'm happy to support your family in eating well (whatever that means for you—I'm not judgy!), e.g., helping cook/meal prep/etc. (If you'd like personalized nutrition support, we can arrange a separate consultation). *I have 2 rescue dogs and love dog walking, so I'd be happy to care for your pups, too! *I studied Biology and graduated in 2012 (Occidental College, LA, CA), then traveled a lot: walking a 400-mile pilgrimage in Spain, a mission trip to Haiti, and volunteering on organic farms in Japan and the UK. *I spent the summer of 2014 as a tour guide in the southwest US National Parks for French-speaking tourists. *In 2014-15 I was a certified Wilderness First Responder, including Pediatric and Adult CPR/First Aid training. ~ My approach with kids ~ *I like singing songs and lullabies, either the old standards or sometimes improvised lyrics that suit the situation ;) I love Raffi and other silly songs, plus some Disney soundtracks—Mary Poppins, Moana—and whatever else happens to be in my mental jukebox that day. (And though everyone else is sick of "Baby Shark," I still enjoy it!) *Kids and nature are made for each other: I will try and spend as much time outside as possible. *I would also enjoy teaching your children my favorite French nursery songs!

Elaine is a lovely babysitter - caring, gentle, and thoughtful. My daughter had so much fun with her and our dog instantly adored her! We will happily hire her again.

Booked by 10 families in Universal City, CA

Hi families, I’m Sandy, a professional bilingual nanny with over 7 years of experience caring for children from newborns to teenagers. I bring the perfect mix of warmth, structure, creativity, patience, and calm confidence into every home I work with. I have worked with families in New York, The Hamptons, Florida, Puerto Rico, Vermont, Colombia, and China, bringing a global, adaptable, and culturally aware approach to childcare. My approach is centered on safety, emotional connection, developmental growth, and joyful routines. I love creating days filled with reading, music, outdoor play, sensory activities, Spanish immersion, healthy meals, and age-appropriate learning moments that help children feel secure, capable, and excited to grow. I have experience with infant care, toddler routines, school-age children, travel support, busy family schedules, healthy meal prep, children’s laundry, organization, transportation, homework help, potty training, and creating a peaceful rhythm in active households. Families describe me as reliable, loyal, discreet, loving, active, organized, and highly professional. I take pride in being more than a nanny. I become a trusted partner to parents and a steady, positive presence in a child’s life. I am CPR and First Aid certified, fully bilingual in English and Spanish, and comfortable working with families who value high standards, clear communication, emotional intelligence, and exceptional care. If you are looking for someone who will care for your children with love, intention, maturity, and true professionalism, I would be honored to connect with your family.

Sandy is an absolutely exceptional nanny. She was recommended to me by a friend recently and from the beginning it was clear how talented she is. She immediately got down on my 3 year old’s level and kept her attention all day. She is so kind and engaging that my daughter was immediately smitten. Sandy’s attention was 100% on my daughter the whole time. My daughter often (multiple times per day) asks when Sandy is coming back. There aren’t enough ways to recommend Sandy. She is punctual, reliable, she cooks and speaks multiple languages. Most of all she seems to really enjoy taking care of children. Please do not hesitate to contact me, I would be happy to sing her praises over the phone!

"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)."
