Jade $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Jade and I'm a caregiver in the Los Angeles area. I have a total of 7 years of experience in child care. I am currently attending college for a degree in Philosophy and Theology and a minor in math, so I am primarily looking for a summer nanny position from May - August 14. I have a background in art (I attended art school briefly) and have other hobbies which include tennis, crochet, flute, piano, reading, gardening and anything craft related. I am always open to teach and learn new hobbies and skills with those that are interested. In terms of childcare experience, I've been a nanny for the age range of 6 months to 12 years old. I've been told that I am patient, reliable, calm and a good listener. I am also good with pets and am up for walking dogs or caring for any other animals when needed. I am willing to do light household chores and am up for cleaning, laundry, watering plants and whatever needs to be done to keep the household running smoothly. I can also provide excellent references upon request. I look forward to finding a family that will be a good fit!

Booked by 1 family in Van Nuys, CA

I am a recent NYU graduate who studied acting and filmmaking. I've recently moved from NYC to Sunny LA! I love the outdoors, art, fitness, and finding fun new eats in the city. Growing up in a large family myself, and being the eldest girl, I've always loved taking care of children. During my time in NYC I provided childcare for my professors, as well as families in the Brooklyn area! From playing imaginative games, helping with homework, or exploring the city to find things to make them smile, I would describe myself as an experienced, playful, and kind caregiver. I also had many pets growing up, both dogs and cats, and am very comfortable caring or simply being in their presence.

"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."

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)."
