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.

Nafina $25 per hour for 1 child

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!

Paola 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Paola, and I am a caring, loving, patient, and responsible childcare provider with more than 10 years of experience caring for children from newborns to 14 years old. Working with children has always been my passion. Throughout my career, I have provided a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. I understand the importance of building trusting relationships with both children and parents, and I strive to treat every child with kindness, respect, and compassion. In addition to my extensive experience with typically developing children, I also have valuable experience working with children with special needs, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Down syndrome, and ADHD. This experience has helped me develop strong skills in patience, communication, behavior support, and creating individualized activities that meet each child’s unique needs. I am dependable, organized, and committed to supporting children’s emotional, social, and developmental growth. Whether caring for a newborn, helping with school-age children, or supporting children with special needs, I always prioritize safety, encouragement, and positive interactions. I would be honored to become part of your family’s support system and provide loving, attentive care for your children.

The best of the best. Paola is the most attentive, loving, patient nanny for our boys. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t feel so lucky that we found her. Our boys absolutely adore her. She is extremely reliable, always ready to help and is exactly who you would want your children to be learning from and growing up with. If I could give her 100 stars I would!

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!

"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)."
