Marieke $30 per hour for 1 child

With 16 years of experience as a nanny, I've spent most of that time caring for children between 5 months and 5 years old, and I genuinely love this work. I'm patient, creative, and easygoing, and I quickly build warm, trusting relationships with both kids and parents. I believe communication is key, so I'm happy to keep you updated regularly in whatever style works best for your family. I'm comfortable enforcing house rules consistently, and I love spending time outdoors and incorporating educational activities into our day. I can also help with cooking, carpooling, and swimming supervision, and I'm CPR certified for added peace of mind. Above all, my goal is to be a reliable, supportive caregiver your family can count on.

Booked by 1 family in Van Nuys, CA

My name is Nafina. I am a 23 year old tutor and teacher’s assistant looking for extra work beyond my current position. With 4 years of experience in the field of education with both elementary-age and university students, I hope to expand my skill set to babysitting! My experience in both education as well as other jobs including food service, retail, and program administration has equipped me as an adaptable, thoughtful, caring, and hardworking childcare provider. I deeply enjoy working with children in the classroom, where I tutor various subjects including mathematics, phonics, writing composition, and reading comprehension. This classroom experience has also given me the skills to support children’s overall development in addition to ensuring that they have an enjoyable, productive learning experience. Getting to know each of my students individually and ensuring that they each feel heard, understood, and supported is incredibly important for me. As for me personally, some of my personal hobbies include reading, drawing, journaling, and working out. I enjoy integrating creative activities into my lessons with my students and would love to bring that into my babysitting as well!

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Van Nuys, CA

Hi! I’m Elisabeth. I truly enjoy spending time with children and animals—especially dogs and cats. I believe they bring so much joy and positivity, and I love creating a safe, caring, and fun environment for them. Spanish is my first language (I’m from Argentina), and I’m happy to speak both Spanish and English with families. I’ve been caring for children since I was young, helping neighbors as well as my sister. After moving to Los Angeles, I gained experience working with infants, toddlers, and older children. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each child’s unique needs. I also bring 18 years of professional experience in a different field, which has strengthened my reliability, organization, and communication skills. I look forward to supporting your family!

“Elisabeth was amazing with our 10 month old baby. ”

"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)."
