Laura $25 per hour for 1 child

I love working with children in one-on-one or small-group settings because it allows me to build meaningful connections and support each child's unique needs and personality. I have been a nanny and babysitter for various families since my undergraduate years (about 9 years) and have spent the past four years as a full-time elementary school teacher. I hold a Master's degree in Education and a bilingual authorization in Spanish from UCLA. My experience has equipped me to provide a safe and engaging environment while supporting children's academic, social, and emotional development. I take pride in being a trusted source of support for families and creating positive, enriching experiences for the children in my care.

Stephanie $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Stephanie, and I am offering short-term and occasional childcare, household support, and pet care. I'm a pediatric oncology nurse who recently moved to LA, and as I look for my next nursing job, I’d love to support families with quality care during this transitional period. I also have a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood & Family Studies, so working with children has always been a huge joy and passion of mine! Before becoming a nurse, I spent over 10 years babysitting and nannying for families with children of all ages. I especially love working with infants! I am dedicated to creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for kids—one that emphasizes creativity, structure, early childhood development support, and screen-free play. Activities like arts and crafts, reading, outdoor adventures, and imaginative play. I pride myself on being patient, dependable, loving, and fun, while also being attentive to each family’s routines and preferences. I’ve had the privilege of working with many different families and children, and I will always strive to meet each child and family where they are, offering care that feels personal and consistent. I love animals and am comfortable with cats and dogs, open to animal care as well. I am excited to connect and learn more about your family!

Maddie $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Maddie! I recently graduated Magna Cum Laude in aerospace engineering, and I have a strong background in tutoring, mentoring, and supporting kids and teens. My academic experience has taught me to be organized, responsible, and calm under pressure. I’ve been caring for children most of my life. As the oldest sibling with a younger brother, I grew up helping with homework, meals, rides, and daily routines. I also have several younger cousins I’ve cared for since they were infants, so I’m comfortable with bottle‑warming, diaper changes, nap routines, and keeping little ones engaged and happy. As a teenager, I worked at a summer camp where I led cooking and baking activities, arts and crafts, swimming, and group games. Those experiences taught me how to create fun, safe environments and connect with kids of all personalities. I’m warm, patient, and very reliable, and I bring a steady, positive presence to any home. I love helping kids feel confident, whether through creative activities, homework support, or simply being someone they feel comfortable around. I’m also happy to help with pets and household tasks to make things easier for busy families. I speak French as well, so I’m glad to incorporate language exposure or help with French homework if that’s something your family would enjoy. Families describe me as kind, trustworthy, and easy to work with. I’m excited to support families in a way that makes their days smoother and helps kids thrive :)

I've worked with kids of many different ages ranging from newborns to 12 years old. I also have close to 2 years of teaching experience. I'm happy to work long shifts and do overnights and have experience doing so! I'm open to various different schedules, so feel free to reach out if you feel I could be a good fit for your position. I look forward to meeting you!

"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)."
