Hi! I recently moved back to Los Angeles from Texas and am looking to connect with some wonderful families! I’ve been nannying for the past 7 years and have experience caring for kids of all ages. I’m kind, easy-going, creative, and love keeping kids engaged—whether that’s playing outside, going for walks, helping with homework, or coming up with fun crafts and activities. I’m currently looking for part-time and occasional babysitting opportunities, including date nights and weekend help. My schedule is pretty flexible while I’m still in school and growing my career in the creative arts, so I’m happy to work around different schedules and needs. Looking forward to meeting you and your family 🌹

Super kind and patient with my 8 months old

Hi! My name is Delfina, I’m from Argentina, I moved to California to study in UCLA. For the past 5 years I,ve been working in Aspen, Colorado as a Ski Instructor for Kids 6 & Under. I love kids and I consider myself to be very patient. I also babysat for many families while in Aspen, after the ski lesson kids love to go ice skating or for ice cream! I’m a fan of the mountains, love skiing and doing staff outdoors, but also like staying inside reading a good book :)

Experienced and dedicated professional offering comprehensive household management and childcare support.

My background in theater and education fuels my passion for fostering children's creativity and imagination, providing engaging and enriching experiences. Committed to understanding your family's unique needs, I'm ready to tailor my services to ensure a smooth and positive environment for everyone.

Loved Zuri! As soon as she arrived she took over immediately and was super caring with my son. Although the night was cut short I was really anxious about him being in others care and she was able to exceed her expectations definitely will continue to book with her.

Booked by 20 families in Van Nuys, CA

I am an experienced nanny, baby sitter and caregiver, having worked in the industry intensely for about fifteen years. I have been sitting children, however, since I a teenager. I am a fun-loving sitter who really puts her heart into her work. I've had many clients for the fifteen year period, and we have become like family to one another. I have a grown daughter whom I've raised to a successful adulthood. I have excellent references, a clean driving record and can easily pass a background check. I have my own vehicle and car insurance and can drive clients to various appointments, pick up from school, or take on outings. I was a Girl Scout for nine years. I was a lifeguard in high school, certified Red Cross. I have saved a few lives, a drowning victim - a 6-year old boy when I was a teenager; and, most recently, a grandmother who was choking to death at a valley restaurant. I have taken art for ten years, and love doing arts and crafts. I consider myself to be an excellent cook. I sing in church choir. I am great with pets, too. I am a freelance book editor in my spare time, and use the sitting money to supplement my income. I have been a book editor for about twenty years, mainly working on education materials and text books. I have a college degree.

Molly was caring and patient with my two girls.

Booked by 1 family in Van Nuys, CA

Hi! I’m Ashly, a 19-year-old babysitter with 5+ years of experience working with kids from 4 months to 10 years old. I’m currently studying Early Childhood Education at LACC with a focus on Montessori and Reggio Emilia approaches. I really believe in letting kids learn through creativity and play. I started babysitting when I was 13 and have always loved working with children. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I also work weekday mornings at My Gym, where I help run kids’ fitness classes. I know some basic gymnastics skills and can definitely teach your little ones a few fun moves if they’re interested! I don’t drive yet, but I have reliable transportation and I’m currently training to get my license. I’m super dependable, patient, and always happy to help with routines, learning, or just keeping your kids busy and safe. Can’t wait to meet your family!

"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

"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)."
