Lainey $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi there. My name is Lainey! I have 5 years of nannying experience and 8 years of babysitting experience. I have worked with children of all ages, and have been told that I am a great tutor for elementary and middle school aged children. My longest term nannying job was for a family with an ADHD child, so I also have experience with children who need extra attention. I recently left my corporate job to pursue work I’m passionate about, and that has led me back to childcare! Overall, I am a curious, compassionate, sometimes-funny person who enjoys working hard and finding joy everywhere I can. During two days of my week I am in class, but I have open availability in the mornings and most afternoons :) I have a license, a reliable car, zero speeding tickets, basic first aid knowledge, and solid cooking skills. Please reach out to me with any additional questions or requests for references! :)

Valentina $22 per hour for 1 child

About Me I'm a 19 year old who absolutely loves babysitting. There's something about spending time with kids that brings out the best in me. I've got plenty of energy to keep up with them, whether we're running around outside, playing games, or doing crafts. I love making sure they're having fun, but I'm also really responsible. I take safety seriously and always make sure they're well cared for, whether that means following their parents' rules or keeping an eye on them when they're playing. I enjoy creating routines and fun activities to keep them entertained and engaged. It's not just about having fun—it's also about being dependable, and I always want the parents to know they can trust me to take good care of their kids. Education studying digital marketing.

Millie 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Millie and I am a professional nanny with more than 12 years of experience, specializing in caring for children aged btw newborns to toddlers. My caregiving philosophy focuses on fostering independence and creativity through hands-on activities, outdoor play, and structured routines.In my previous roles, I have managed tasks like meal preparation, potty training, while ensuring a safe and positive environment. I am fully CPR and First Aid certified, have a clean driving record, I love supporting busy parents and helping children thrive. I would welcome the opportunity to chat and see how I can support your family! I’m mom too my son is 13 years old. My last job was 6 years ago with a beautiful family with 2 kids of different ages. I had to leave this family after 4 years because the pandemic hit and I had to start working in other kind of job,

Millie is one of the only people in the LA area that I would trust to take care of my children. Millie first started with our family after the birth of my first born in 2016. From the infant stage, Millie had all the skills and qualifications to ensure my child was cared for, safe, and loved. We felt very comfortable being full time working parents leaving our child at home with Millie. She slowly became part of our family. We had another child shortly afterword and Millie’s ability to manage a toddler and an infant was truly unmatched. Helping with keeping the house tidy and managing their meals- we were always amazed at her natural ability to manage our home and keep our kids loving their time with her. We trusted Millie to take the boys on walks, to the park, bathing them and all the other situations that came up she was always professional and respectful. During the pandemic we had to say goodbye to our over 4 year relationship. She brought such joy to our kids and was there for so many milestones. I truly recommend Millie as she has been a trustworthy and reliable source of childcare for us.

"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."

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)."
