Booked by 5 families in Van Nuys, CA

Hello, my name is Gloria and I am a senior at CSUN. I have worked with kids as a teacher assistant, caregiver, and babysitter. As a babysitter, I have taken care of children from ages 6 months to 11 years of age. Every kid is different in their own unique way and that's why I decided to major in child and adolescent development. As an older sister with two younger brothers, I learned a lot about patience, love and joy, so I definitely believe incorporating my knowledge and personal experience into my work ethics helped me become a great babysitter and caregiver.

Hi! My name is Joel, and I’m a responsible, caring, and trustworthy sitter with over 4 years of experience providing babysitting, pet sitting, and caregiving services. Whether it’s caring for children, pets, or elderly family members, I approach every job with patience, kindness, and attention to detail. I’ve always had a natural love for helping others, and that passion has grown stronger through the years. My clients often describe me as dependable, warm, and someone they can always count on.

Booked by 3 families in Van Nuys, CA

Nanny in West Los Angeles with 11 years of professional childcare experience, including live in and travel nanny positions. I have worked with children of all ages, including disabled nonverbal children and high spirited, sensitive children who need extra patience and support. As a mother to a 19 month old, I understand both the professional and personal side of caring for children. I am CPR certified and have a strong understanding of baby and toddler development. I am patient, dependable, and organized. I enjoy creating structure and routines that help children thrive, and I can help families establish routines when needed. I am familiar with age appropriate schedules, sleep foundations, and daily routines that support healthy development. Most importantly, I genuinely love working with children and helping families make their day to day lives a little easier. I can't wait to connect with your family and learn how I can help!

“Asia has been wonderful with my baby girl. She is moving around with my 9 month old, letting her crawl around and explore while she is right there. She is able to get my daughter to nap, which isn’t always easy. Happy for her help.”

Cared for a baby from infancy; dependable, patient, organized. Great with routines, learning, travel, and creating a calm, safe, supportive environment.

“Absolutely loved Vee! We had to find a backup nanny for the week and she was recommended to us. Vee was absolutely amazing with our 5 month old. She was on time, patient, and very communicative. She created a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for our child. I highly recommend Vee to any family seeking a reliable, loving, and capable nanny.”

"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)."
