Booked by 6 families in Universal City, CA

Hi! My name is Nathany, and I’m originally from Brazil. I’ve been working as a nanny and babysitter in Los Angeles, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and supporting families. I have experience caring for children of different ages, from babies and toddlers to school age kids. I’m comfortable with playtime, meals, diaper changes, bedtime routines, and keeping kids engaged with fun and creative activities. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks related to the children. Families describe me as patient, responsible, organized, and dependable. I understand how important it’s to trust the person caring for your children, and I always do my best to create a safe, caring, and positive environment. I’m looking for a long-term family, but I’m also available for occasional babysitting. I look forward to meeting new families and becoming someone both parents and kids feel comfortable with!

“Very professional, was handling a one year old that haven’t had a babysitter before really well. ”

Booked by 14 families in Universal City, CA

Literary and Play Focused Nanny Christina is an Infant Development Specialist and Caregiver Educator with over a decade of experience supporting infants and toddlers through play-based, literacy-integrated, child-led care. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Child and Adolescent Development and is credentialed by the International Nanny Association, certified as a Newborn & Infant Care Specialist by the U.S. Nanny Association, and trained as an Integrated Infant Development Consultant. Her approach is grounded in children’s cues and relationships and guided by early brain science and close observation, supporting regulation within the natural flow of care. Because reading felt challenging to her as a child, Christina is passionate about making early literacy feel safe and relational, integrating it into play and daily routines rather than treating it as a performance skill. She specializes in playroom cultivation and learning environment design that supports curiosity and emerging developmental patterns. Seeking Full-Time W/-2 Payroll Position

Booked by 38 families in Universal City, CA

I'm a LA native that has worked with children since I was 14. I'm also a professional dancer but nothing fulfills me like working with kids! I love to incorporate art and expression, but have no problem with laying down rules and running errands. I grew up in a big family and have been with children of all ages since day 1! I have a flexible schedule and competitive rates.

“Flannery was the best. So kind and caring with our six month old, on time, flexible, and rolled with the punches when it turned out he had a cold. A calming presence! We're so grateful for her help.”

Hi, moms and dads, my name is Tanielle and I am a kindergarten teacher. I have several years of experience, from taking care of newborns overnight up until middle aged kids. I absolutely love babysitting because of the relationship I form with the children and their families-it fills me up. I am a fun, loving, compassionate and creative person. I also enjoy cooking, baking, spending time outside, traveling but also enjoy my own company. I am CPR qualified, fully vaccinated and boosted. I have also completed a background check. I am flexible with open availability. Thanks for taking the time to get to know me-hope to meet you soon! *I require a minimum of 4 hours* *FYI regardless if parents return earlier than booked time, I’m still expecting to be compensated all the hours initially agreed upon*

“Wonderful. Did such a good job with the boys. Took notes and sent photos to me while at work. Was kind to stay late as I ran late at work. ”

"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)."
