Hi families! My name is Alyssa, i'm 27 years old and I have been nannying for 6+ years and counting! I have nannied for the early ages of 4 months all the way up to 8 years old! Newborn/early stages such as infant/toddler/pre-k are ideally my most common age I've nannied for to be 100% transparent! Although I definitely have a ton of experience working with numerous different age groups and caring for multiple children at once (siblings/nanny shares). I have been a family assistant/nanny/mother's helper & even a pre-k teacher in previous years! I've worn several hats in my child care careers and I love every minute of it! I have a true passion for my work ethic and as for my passionate career choice! I strive to always be an energetic, punctual, positive-uplifting nanny! I am CPR certified, Trust Line Certified and I also have a degree in Child Development from Cal State Fullerton as well!

Irene $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi - my name is Irene and I hold two Bachelor’s degrees from UCLA and a Master’s from USC. I was born and raised in Athens, Greece and I am bilingual in English and Greek. I’ve spent years taking care of younger cousins and family friends’ kids, ranging from school-age through teens. I’m CPR certified and take safety seriously. Since I have a strong academic background, I’m especially comfortable helping with homework and tutoring, whether it’s a tricky math assignment or just staying on top of schoolwork. I’m also pet friendly and happy to work with families who have animals in the home.

"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)."
