Find nannies in Valley Glen, CA

Hello! I’m Kim, your go-to fun-loving, nanny who’s ready to bring a spark of 90s magic to your child’s day. With over 20 yrs of nannying experience paired with 3 years volunteering as a firefighter, I’m here to inspire, protect, and make every moment an adventure. Safety? That’s my top priority. With my certifications in occupational first aid and food safety, plus hands-on experience as a volunteer firefighter, you can trust that I am prepared to handle anything that comes our way. But here’s the real magic: I’m all about recreating that pure, unfiltered joy of childhood. The kind we remember from the 90s. Imagine those long summer days spent outside, begging for just a little more time before the streetlights came on. The jeans with stubborn grass stains your mom can’t seem to get out because your nature walk turned into fairy chasing quests. Proudly sporting battle scars from trying to nail that elusive kick-flip. Muddy hands from concocting mysterious potions. Those agonizing stretches of boredom proclaiming “there’s NOTHING to do!” that somehow turned into wild bike rides to the library to research urban legends, backyard obstacle courses, and unforgettable sleepovers filled with choreographed dance numbers, way too many Totino’s pizza rolls and maybe a couple prank calls. When I’m with your kids, forget Youtube and Fortnite. Choosing me means choosing someone who cares just as deeply about their growth and happiness as you do. It truly weighs on my heart to see how many children today are missing out on the kind of childhood we were fortunate to have. The simple, carefree days filled with imagination and curiosity that made growing up feel special. I want to help your child have those same experiences where they can just be themselves and enjoy being a kid. Have you tried and failed to find a nanny who shares your same values? Are you tired of hearing your kids say the babysitter is boring? Have you burned yourself out juggling schedules around babysitters who moonlight as actors and only want to work when they’re not auditioning? Then let’s meet! I might just be the missing piece to the puzzle you’ve been trying to solve. Being a nanny isn’t just a side gig for me; it’s what I love doing and I take pride in making it my profession. I genuinely enjoy working with children and making a positive difference in families lives and I’d be happy to bring that energy to your home. Thank you so much for your time and I can’t wait to meet you all!

Hi, I’m Mara. I’m 27 with over 10 years of paid childcare experience, working with children from newborn through teenage years. I’ve supported families in long-term, short-term, and overnight roles, and I’m confident handling everything from daily routines to more involved care needs. I also have experience working with children on the autism spectrum, ADHD, and other developmental needs, and I approach each child with patience, awareness, and adaptability. My personality is calm, grounded, and attentive. I naturally create a peaceful, structured environment where children feel safe, understood, and comfortable. I’m very intentional about how I show up present, observant, and responsive without being overwhelming. I have strong experience with infant and toddler care, school routines, transportation to activities, homework support, and meal prep. In many of my long-term roles, I’ve also supported the home during school hours or summer camp schedules, keeping things clean, organized, and running smoothly so families can come home to a well-maintained space. I’m comfortable with both childcare-related tasks and overall household upkeep. I value structure, communication, and mutual respect, and I do best with families who are looking for someone dependable, calm, and proactive. Someone they can trust to handle both childcare and household support without needing constant direction. I’m dependable, consistent, and respectful of each family’s routines and preferences. Families I’ve worked with value that they can trust me to step in seamlessly, stay calm in any situation, and handle responsibilities with care. I take what I do seriously and genuinely care about creating a positive, safe experience for both the child and the family.

Hi parents! I am currently a college student at Glendale college studying for surgical technician. I enjoy being a babysitter and have babysat since I was 14 years old now. I have babysat church families, family friends & even my 3 younger siblings which are all boys! I have done it all starting from driving/picking up from school, practices, tutoring, etc. I can also house or pet sit. I am unfortunately allergic to cats but have a big love for dogs:)

I am a graduate student at the University of Southern California. I went to the University of San Francisco for my undergrad, and ended up spending 7 years living in the city. Originally, I am from Texas and I have a younger brother and sister, and am older than most of my cousins so I have a lot of experience with kids and teenagers. I also mentored at Corey Elementary school during my junior year of high and at Boles Jr. High school during my senior year of high school. I used to babysit with this app all throughout undergrad so I have plenty of experience! I also have no pet allergies. Thanks for your time!

Hi, I’m Melissa and I keep my calendar up to date! Parents have told me they’ve had a lot of sitters they’ve booked on UrbanSitter cancel or not show up. I find that shocking! You can count on me. 💗 Parents of type 1 diabetics—I got you. I can carb count, monitor CGM, site changes, treat highs & lows, the whole thing. I’ve been type 1 since age 8 and I use a Tandem pump with Dexcom. I've been sitting through this site since Nov 2013, usually ~30 hours per week. I've seen it all! My style with kids depends on the type of people they are (kids’ personalities vary just like adults’ do) and what the parents advise and prefer. I'm flexible! I love to travel to parks, I have a lot of great crafts up my sleeve, I know endless children's songs, I'll do as much physically active play as my body can take! I want the kids to have a good time and remember their experience with me fondly, while also keeping everyone safe & sound. I love hanging out with little folks. I love to hear what they think and see life through their eyes. Kids have unique perspectives. They are learning so much so quickly and from everywhere they can, so it's incredibly important to be mindful of that as a caretaker, modeling patience, good humor, seriousness when it's important to be serious, and attentiveness to the emotional needs of others. Kids can be funny, cute, curious, sweet, accidentally profound, and often super-bossy. They're exhausting in the best possible way. I also just adore infants and toddlers and I could hold them and play with them all day! I have been known to quickly figure out how to accommodate even the most challenging babies. I aim to be flexible! It’s OK if you need to cancel, I will not be upset or expect payment. It's perfectly OK to come home early, I will not expect payment for the full booking time. I will always stay longer if you need me to as well, so long as it doesn't interfere with another booking. I understand life is unpredictable and I hope I can make life easier for parents. Just keep me in the loop and I'll do the same.
