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.

Akira $25 per hour for 1 child

I’ve worked with high needs special needs children up close in home and school environments. I have a severely disabled brother who I helped take care of until I moved out at 19. I have worked in a hospital with individuals who are high risk and need constant supervision in 12 hour shifts(from behavioral patients and seniors to children). I absolutely adore children and have so much fun teaching them and learning from them myself. My schedule is flexible as I work at a restaurant and can schedule time off with 1 weeks notice. My mornings and early afternoons are my most reliably available times, though I can do nights with prior notice. I am interested in getting to know how your family does things and providing the care you need. I am a student in community college studying linguistics. I like playing guitar, gaming, and reading fantasy novels.

Booked by 1 family in Van Nuys, CA

I have gained a lot of experience working with different types of children over the years. With various ages and backgrounds I have found that I love creating safe and comfortable environments for kids thrive and feel nurtured. I babysat all my younger cousins and friends of the family and kids in my neighborhood. I worked as an educator during my last year of high school at an after school program around various different schools in the school district. And throughly enjoyed working there. I have excellent communication skills that allow to me to cultivate a relationship with your child and allow open conversation between me and your child. I'm responsible and can adapt to any situation or new environment and will approach any task with as much enthusiasm and dedication as necessary.

Sochi babysat for us while we were out for a show. She played with the kids, fed them dinner, and handled the whole nighttime routine very well. She was also accommodating when we had a change in schedule. I would definitely recommend her!

"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)."
