Sandy $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Sandy! I have over 8 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants and toddlers to school-age children. I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. I hold Associate Degrees in Behavioral Science and Health Science and am CPR and First Aid certified. My background has given me a strong understanding of child development, positive behavior guidance, and the importance of building trusting relationships with both children and parents. Families describe me as dependable, patient, organized, and attentive. I enjoy planning age-appropriate activities, helping with homework, encouraging creativity, and supporting healthy routines. I am also comfortable with meal preparation, diaper changes, bath time, bedtime routines, school pick-ups and drop-offs, and light housekeeping related to the children. As a bilingual caregiver fluent in English and Spanish, I can help expose children to a second language if desired. I have reliable transportation, a clean driving record, and excellent references available upon request. My goal is always to provide parents with peace of mind, knowing their children are in caring, capable, and responsible hands. I look forward to connecting with your family!

Jaidyn $24 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Van Nuys, CA

Hi I’m Jaid! I am currently a student studying Dental Assisting with the intention of going into Pediatrics once I complete my certification! I currently work with two amazing girls 3x a week in the afternoon hours (availability is updated). I come from a family of 6, with two much younger siblings that have given me the love and experience for child care as a built-in babysitter. I have also had the privilege of babysitting for family friends, whenever I am needed. I'm known for my enthusiasm and positivity, that goes along great with kids. I love doing activities to keep them excited and involved. I believe in open communication with parents and keep them updated throughout the day. I am not afraid of late hours!!! Let me know!

Greer $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I'm Greer :) I am here to help with all of your childcare, senior care, pet care, or household service needs! As the second oldest of 7 children, caretaking has always come very naturally to me. I loved being attentive, playing with, and helping my younger siblings from the moment they were born. Whether that was playing pretend with them when they were little or driving them to/from school/dance class/soccer practice, helping with meals, etc... My very first job was as a camp counselor - where I was in charge of the 5-8 year olds. And I started babysitting kids in my neighborhood from the time I was 14! I was also a caretaker to my grandmother before she passed away from breast cancer in 2022. Helping keep her house organized and clean, cooking her meals and running errands for her. I grew up with 2 chihuahua and 2 cats (despite being allergic) and I am a HUGE lover of animals of all sizes! As for me, my friends would describe me as bubbly and silly while still remaining grounded. I attended USC while working full time so I know the importance of time management and multitasking. My favorite things are baking, singing disney songs, hiking, going to the beach, planning themed movie nights, and spending quality time with the people I love.

Samantha Rose $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Van Nuys, CA

Hi there! I’m a native New Yorker who loves personalities of all kinds! I started caregiving when I was 10 years old looking after my two younger brothers and have been babysitting ever since. Later on, I moved on to caring for my grandmother as she made her journey through Alzheimer’s. I pride myself in connecting with children as their friends and older sibling rather than as a figure of authority—I find it makes it easier to help them and keep them under control! My background is in the arts so I always like to push children to explore their creative sides. I’m available most evenings and for overnights with the occasional morning and early afternoon. I’m here to make your life easier!

Jayelle $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents! I am a kind, creative, and patient nanny. I have six years of experience with kiddos 0-13 years old, including neurodivergent children, and love engaging them in active and creative play. I love the happy chaos of working with siblings and am comfortable caring for 3+ children at a time. I'm happy to help with light meal and snack prep, kid related tidying, and I have a clean driving record with a safe, insured car. I am warm and communicative, and love working with families that are the same!

"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)."
