Erika $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Erika I have been a nanny since 2006. I have worked with multiple families over the years. Working with children from as little as a newborn to age 13. I love working with children and doing outdoor activities like going on walks to the park or play dates with other children. As well as taking them to activities or sports parents may have in place for them. I also like to teach the kids I work with some Spanish as it is my first language. I am also certified in CPR and first aid.

Victoria $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I’m originally from Pasadena and now living in North Hollywood. I’ve spent the last few years as a third-grade teacher in Burbank, and I’m currently taking some time away from the classroom to focus on personal projects and plan my wedding with my partner of 8 wonderful years! I hold degrees in Science and Art, along with a Master’s in Education—so I’m well-prepared to help with homework and offer tutoring in a variety of subjects. I genuinely love supporting kids as they grow, learn, and gain confidence. As an artist, I’ve worked with all kinds of materials—from clay and collage to painting and stained glass. I’m always excited to bring creativity into my time with kids, whether that means getting messy with an art project or exploring the outdoors. I’m also a UC-certified Master Gardener and have taught gardening classes in Altadena—I'd love to share that hands-on knowledge with your little ones, too! At home, I’m a proud cat, lizard, and fish mom, so I’m more than comfortable with pets. I’m also passionate about cooking (mostly plant-based!) and am happy to help with meal prep, light cooking, and tidying up around the house—just say the word. Above all, I love being silly and still carry a deep love for childlike fun, imagination, and games. I believe in creating a warm, joyful space where kids feel safe, seen, and encouraged to be themselves. Looking forward to connecting and supporting your family with care, creativity, and lots of heart!

Zamaya $24 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m Zamaya.I have two years of hands on babysitting experience. Starting at the ages of eight months and two years. Although I feel as if I’ve been caring for children since always, I have also helped care for my three younger brothers. Which has made me comfortable with children of different ages. I love all animals and would be happy to care for your pets as well! I’m comfortable running errands, cooking, cleaning, working longer hours, and more.

Booked by 4 families in Van Nuys, CA

Hello,  I have worked as a helping hand for busy parents in prioritizing their kid's needs by showing them compassion and patience. Through my guidance, I can show them to be gentle and to help encourage them to become the best they can be. I also speak English, and Spanish and am currently learning a new language, Italian. In the course of being a nanny, I have taught children to speak Spanish.    I have five years of babysitting experience, but I have more than that. Growing up with siblings, I was my mother’s helper, and I could manage caring for multiple children at once. I ensure they’re engaged in exciting, safe, and educational activities.    My experiences and personal skills make me an ideal candidate for your family. I hope to hear from you soon.    Best Regards, Katie

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)."
