Maria $28 per hour for 1 child

Hello families, I’m Maria (53). I bring a mature, calm, and highly dependable presence to every home. I am a CNA student with many years of hands-on childcare experience, including helping raise my two granddaughters from infancy. I specialize in evening routines, creating a soothing, structured, and warm environment during the most important hours of the day. I’m exceptionally patient, detail-oriented, and attentive whether it’s preparing for bedtime, reading together, helping with transitions, or winding down after a long day. Families appreciate that I am calm and emotionally steady, gentle and nurturing, highly organized and tidy, respectful of routines and family values, intuitive and trustworthy. Availability starting December 15th: • Weekdays after 5 PM • Weekends (full availability) I’m available for date nights, evening support, and occasional last-minute help. I do not accept overnight cases. I look forward to supporting a warm, respectful family and providing care that brings peace of mind. Warm regards, Maria

Bennett $25 per hour for 1 child

I'm a married, 35 year-old journalist in a transition phase. Previously, I worked for 10 years as a lifeguard and swim instructor, so I have plenty of experience working with children (infants up to young teens). I'm mild-mannered, calm and patient. I have a sweet little dog named Jacuzzi and we often dog-sit for others, so I'm very comfortable around dogs and all kinds of pets. I'm also a bit of a clean freak and organizer, so I don't mind doing stuff around the house or in the yard, etc.

Cassandra $25 per hour for 1 child

Greetings, my name is Cassandra. My primary qualifiers are as a mother, stepmother, foster mother, active godmother and grandmother of 2, though I am currently living alone again. My children are adults with children and out in the world living well. My professional background is as a multi-disciplinary healer since 2003 with a primary focus in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture, manual therapies, and ayurveda. Since arriving in LA in 2018, I have been hiring myself out as an educator through facilitating lectures, workshops, and seminars for local non-profit organizations, private schools and several colleges. Before moving to Los Angeles I worked as a teacher of various sciences in a private school (Orlando, FL) for learning and behavioral disabled youth from 5th-12th grade. While employed there, I developed a dynamic art program, as well. I am also a musician (voice, saxophone and sitar), a multi-disciplinary visual artist, and an ordained minister/counselor; having founded a spiritual non-profit in 2022 called the Temple of Evolutionary Emergence.

"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)."
