Booked by 9 families in Van Nuys, CA

Hi there! My name is Aeliscia and I’m an experienced, reliable, and caring nanny based in the valley, currently available for new opportunities. I’m CPR certified, have a clean driving record, and bring over 10 years of babysitting experience, including 5 years as a nanny/household assistant! As the oldest sibling to three younger brothers (ages 5, 8, and 13), I’ve been helping raise kids practically my whole life—and I absolutely love it! I enjoy nannying because I get to build meaningful connections with kids and create a fun, safe, and supportive environment where they can grow and thrive. In my free time, I love to spend time outdoors, be active, and bake desserts! I’m happy to answer any questions you may have. Looking forward to connecting with you!

Totally on time! Amazing and kind and took my child to the park!! Was super professional and would love love to have her again! Just wanted to re review her because we absolutely adore her. She’s always shown up, and she’s shown up about ten times now so she’s always making the appointments- I know that she goes above and beyond and is one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. I absolutely love it and 1000% trust her when she’s with my child. If you don’t know if you should hire her- think again. She’s the one you want.

Hello! I’m Samari, an 18-year-old dual-enrolled student with experience in childcare, household tasks, and pet care. Prices is not set and is negotiated by the hr :) I enjoy working with children and aim to pursue a career in this field. Since age 13, I’ve been caring for children from 3 months old to older, handling tasks like school pickup, tutoring, playing, and caring for their daily needs and early development, whether with or without parents present (like during work or errands). I also provide household help, including cooking, cleaning, and running errands (I have a driver’s license). If you have pets, I’d Also be happy to help care for them. I understand that parents often have strict schedules for their children, and I am committed to following them diligently. My current and past experience: ————————————————————- • Since early summer, I’ve been working at a childcare play center. • I attend COC for my Child Development and Education degree and the Hart District school for my diploma. • I have babysat multiple toddlers simultaneously on several occasions.

Samari was very professional and i look forward to working with her again. My son did not want her to leave! He has an amazing time during her care.

Khate $20 per hour for 1 child

Hey! My name is Khate. I'm 34 years old. I recently decided to go back to school and I’m currently studying to become an Occupational Therapy Assistant. I have years of experience babysitting and full-time nannying. I’ve seen many of the kids I’ve watch grow up to be such lovely little human beings. It’s always been in my nature to take care of people. I love working with kids and help them build confidence as they grow up. My hobbies are listening and playing musical instruments like piano and guitar, drawing, singing, basically everything that has to do with arts! I love getting crafty and creative. I like going on hikes and discovering new coffee shops. I also have a background in Filmmaking and Photography so I like to capture little, beautiful moments.

Hi, I am a very friendly and loving nanny, babysitting in my free time, I am available usually daytime Tuesday to Saturday and evenings Friday to Saturday . I like to work and help families with kids different ages, newborn, specially first time parents, school age kids or I help parents have free time for yourself: meetings or dates. I like to have good communication from the beginning, to make sure I can give you the best experience according to your expectations. Like to help you keep your place clean and everything around baby and kids's room nice and neat as possible. Families whom I worked with always treat me as a family member, I give you the same back, warm feelings and love for you and your children. Thank you so much. Looking for more families that really need help around.

"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)."
