Luanna $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Luanna. I’m an experienced professional nanny with 10+ years of childcare experience, caring for children from newborns through their teenage years. My professional experience includes: • Colela Family — Cared for her 8-year-old son for 1 year. • Upton Family — Cared for three children, ages 6, 11 & 13, for 2 years before the pandemic. • Shaman Family – San Diego — Cared for Nishu , age 4, and later welcomed baby Ryan into my care when he was just a few days old. I cared for Ryan throughout his first year of life, giving me extensive hands-on newborn and infant experience. • Dugar Family – Los Angeles — After moving to Los Angeles, I joined their family when Maya was 11 months old and remained with them for 4 years. I have extensive experience with newborns, infants, toddlers, school-aged children, and teenagers. I truly love being part of a child’s growth and development and creating a safe, nurturing, and loving environment. I’m loving, patient, responsible, organized, dependable, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I value open communication with parents and always respect each family’s routines and parenting style. I have my own reliable transportation and am comfortable driving children as needed. I would love the opportunity to learn more about your family and your childcare needs!

Shilpa $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Shilpa, I am 24 and a fine arts student at Otis College of Art and Design. I am hoping to eventually use my degree to work as an art teacher for elementary or middle schoolers! My love of working with children began as baby-sitting jobs throughout my teenage years and only grew once I worked from 2023-the summer of 2025 as an early childhood educator. I am originally from Seattle, and moved down to Los Angeles this year in July. For the past two years (up until my move), I worked as a floating teacher at Epiphany Early Learning Preschool, working with children aged 18 months to 5 years old. Although I loved all the age groups I worked with, I especially loved working with children aged 2-3. I find caring for and helping children grow to be one of the most rewarding experiences, and I am very passionate about building strong relationships with kids as well as their families. I also worked as an art teacher at Epiphany, and I really enjoy coming up with creative activities that are engaging and appropriate for the age of children I am working with! It would be such a privilege to get to know your children as well as your family! I am a serious cat lover as well and would be happy to provide pet care for cats, however I am allergic to dogs. Due to my school schedule I am looking to provide caregiving in the evenings and late afternoons!

I always make sure the children are well cared for, entertained, and happy. I can also help with daily routines such as meals, naps, and age-appropriate educational activities.

"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)."
