Sanaz $25 per hour for 1 child

I absolutely love children and I have a 21-year-old son. I’m very energetic and can create a joyful atmosphere for kids, making sure they enjoy all the activities I plan for them. I connect really well with children and I’m also professional in music, so I can include musical activities as well. I can provide a happy and engaging environment both at home and outdoors.

Natalie $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Natalie and I just moved back to Los Angeles after living in Hawaii for 3.5 years. I absolutely love working with kids and helping people in any way I can. I’ve been babysitting since I was 16, was a camp counselor for ages 8–13, and nannied a 1-year-old for four months. I love bringing creativity and nature into everything I do whether that’s baking, painting, exploring outside, or coming up with fun activities. I’m reliable, kind, and easygoing, and I always bring high, positive energy wherever I go.

Emily $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Emily. I've been caregiving since I was young — starting with babysitting neighborhood families and helping care for my younger sister (7 years younger). I've worked with kids of all ages, from toddlers to pre-teens, including a wonderful girl on the autism spectrum. I aim to be a calm, consistent presence kids can trust while keeping things fun and engaging. I have a professional background in music and entertainment, working in the industry for the past 8 years. I was a director in guest services, and have been involved in marketing, brand strategy, brand partnerships and business development throughout my career. I’m taking a step in a new direction and am ready to bring my diverse skills into something new! I'm also a baker and love to cook! I'm happy to help with meal prep, kitchen organization, running errands, or any household tasks that make families' days more manageable. Housekeeping and more family assist focused work is something I’m very open too. I enjoy involving kids in age-appropriate cooking activities if they're interested. I bring a creative background in music (I play clarinet), reading (I'm in a book club), and hands-on projects. I love finding screen-free ways to keep kids engaged — whether we're getting fresh air, doing crafts, or dancing to music. I'm comfortable caring for pets and always aim to support each family's rhythm and values while creating a safe, positive environment.

"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)."
