Hi! I love working with children and I have several years of experience. Throughout my four years of attending college in New York, I worked for a babysitting agency and helped care for children from many different families. Through this experience, I learned how to keep kids engaged and comfortable while we’re together. I love being creative with kids, coming up with fun games to play, helping with homework, etc. :)

*Fully-vaccinated* Currently ISO full-time nannying position for Summer 2026. Hi! My name is Alyssa. I have over 11 years of babysitting experience with children of all ages, including infants. I am a full-time MSW student at UCLA (graduating this Spring) and part-time yoga teacher at North Ray Yoga. Outside of work, I spend my time enjoying the company of friends, hiking, reading novels, dancing, and playing instruments. I am very outgoing and energetic, and really enjoy engaging kids in music, outdoor activities, and reading. During my first year field placement for my MSW degree, I spent 500 hours at an elementary school providing 1:1 therapy and group social-emotional development sessions. In the past, I have volunteered in an early intervention center for children with ASD and other developmental differences. I am bilingual (English and Spanish), and very comfortable around pets. My goal as a nanny is to provide care that is fun, educational, and compassionate. I am committed to providing the same level of care to every family I work with regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, or family structure. P.S. you may notice that my video on here is a bit outdated but I haven’t updated it because I think the content still rings true! I filmed it back in 2021 ☺️.

“Alyssa is great. She worked with my family for a couple of months, 5 days a week, our morning routine before going to school with a 5 month old and 4 year old. She was great with both kids (e.g., good about doing tummy time with my infant, and playing or doing arts and crafts with my daughter), and had very good attention to detail prepping for our day (e.g., knowing all the details about meal prep, proactive about restocking diapers and taking care of all of the kids' things). She even made a checklist to make our transition to a new caregiver smooth as she was moving. The only reason she stopped working with us was that she was moving to the east coast for school / life transition. Any family would be lucky to have her. ”

Booked by 9 families in Universal City, CA

Hi there! My name is Aeliscia and I’m an experienced, reliable, and caring nanny based in the valley, currently available for new opportunities. I’m CPR certified, have a clean driving record, and bring over 10 years of babysitting experience, including 5 years as a nanny/household assistant! As the oldest sibling to three younger brothers (ages 5, 8, and 13), I’ve been helping raise kids practically my whole life—and I absolutely love it! I enjoy nannying because I get to build meaningful connections with kids and create a fun, safe, and supportive environment where they can grow and thrive. In my free time, I love to spend time outdoors, be active, and bake desserts! I’m happy to answer any questions you may have. Looking forward to connecting with you!

“Totally on time! Amazing and kind and took my child to the park!! Was super professional and would love love to have her again! Just wanted to re review her because we absolutely adore her. She’s always shown up, and she’s shown up about ten times now so she’s always making the appointments- I know that she goes above and beyond and is one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. I absolutely love it and 1000% trust her when she’s with my child. If you don’t know if you should hire her- think again. She’s the one you want. ”

Booked by 13 families in Universal City, CA

Hello! My name is Janelle and I have been a childcare provider for 6 years now. I've cared for multiple families with kids ages 3 months - 14 years. Jobs included playtime outdoors and indoors, crafts, driving or waking them to and from school, help with homework and online learning, meal prep, morning routines, bedtime routines, light housework, and even pet care. I grew up in a big family taking care of my younger sister and my many cousins. Additionally, I have taught dance, voice, piano, and theatre over the last 10 years, so I've been working with youth for some time in many different contexts. I am currently located in the Mount Washington area of Los Angeles. I'm up to date on all of my vaccines. I am also an actor and musician, so if your child happens to be interested in the arts, this is an especially good fit! Child care is my day job of choice because I genuinely love children. They keep my spirits high and fill me with purpose. Watching them grow, and playing a part in their upbringing has been the greatest, unexpected gift since I started this journey. Thanks for taking the time to read! I look forward to meeting you and your family! :)

“Janelle is wonderful! She was on time, super communicative, and really kind. I receive credits for urban sitter through work, and since I don't have kids was looking for someone to do some housekeeping. She did a great job and we look forward to having her back!”

"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)."
