Vira $20 per hour for 1 child

Dear Hiring Family, My name is Jazzmine (currently finalizing this as my legal name; my present legal name is Vira Faith Becker), and I am applying for the live-in / or live out nanny position within your home. With over a decade of childcare experience, I offer a dependable blend of structure, creativity, and cultural values. Born in Odessa, Ukraine and raised in the United States since 2005, I’ve cared for children from infancy through the teen years across Nashville, Atlanta, and Southern California including families with up to four children, twins, and special needs children. Throughout my work, I’ve built environments where children feel safe, have fun, creative, and encouraged to be independent. My childcare style integrates Montessori and Waldorf principles with arts, music, dance, outdoor exploration, age-appropriate learning, and I incorporate Russian and Spanish to children’s daily conversation. I am available also for overnights, travel [(regionally ready) *updating passport for international travel] sick-day care, holidays, school days off, last minute, and miscellaneous moments. Summer 2025, I served as a live-in nanny for a 22-month-old, leaving only because the family is in Midwest and my calling is to be in California. I’m comfortable preparing vegetarian global meals, coordinating transportation, maintaining household structure, and assisting with light housekeeping. Professionally, I have worked in guest services at Macy’s DTLA, where I delivered high-quality service, supported multiple departments, and maintained strong performance until the store’s permanent closure. Afterward, I traveled to 15 different locations in the United States, expanding my cultural awareness and strengthening the empathy and adaptability I bring into private homes. In addition to childcare, I worked as a performer and character actress in Hollywood LA last day 9/10/2026. I am grateful as it enhanced my communication skills, creativity, patience, and ability to stay energetic in fast-paced settings all qualities that naturally elevate my work with children. I am fluent in English and conversational in Russian and Spanish, with ongoing study in both. I hold CPR & First Aid certification and maintain an active background check. I would welcome the opportunity to support your household with reliability, consistency, and 100 % integrity. Thank you for your time and consideration, I hope to be the right nanny for your growing family! -Sincerely Jazzmine

Jackson $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jackson, and I’ve spent the last 4–5 years working with children ages 1–18 in a wide range of settings. I’m currently a Behavioral Technician at an elementary school, where I provide daily support in SPED classrooms. I specialize in working with autistic children and have experience both as a 1:1 in-home support provider and in full classroom environments. I’ve cared for toddlers, school-age kids, teens, and students with diverse needs. My responsibilities have included but are not limited to diaper changes, homework help, behavior management and intervention, implementing individualized behavior plans, and overall providing any help that a child or parent might need. I’m also comfortable with general household support such as cleaning, meal prep, and keeping routines structured and consistent. In addition to childcare, I have two years of experience in elder care, including assisting with daily tasks, transportation, companionship, and helping to maintain a safe, supportive environment. A little about me personally: I’m born and raised in Los Angeles, and I’m studying music production while working in education. I’m patient, creative, organized, and I genuinely love building trust with the families I work with. Whether you need someone reliable for after-school care, structured behavioral support, or a calm presence at home, I’m happy to help!

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!

"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)."
