Nathalia $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My love and care for engaging with children and helping them grow inspired me to pursue a BA in Child & Adolescent Development at CSUN. I've learned a lot about the social and emotional sciences of children and healthy ways of disciplining. I'm very fascinated with shaping a child to be a vocal, positive, ambitious and kind person. After all, they are the future! In my senior year, I wanted to supplement my academics with real world experience and have successfully cared for children ages 1 through 10 for the past 2 years through a school environment and private nannying/and babysitting. I've been responsible for school drop-offs and pick-ups, tutoring sessions, playtime activities, and have created memorable and educational experiences for children by taking them on interactive outings. I find myself loving 1-on-1 childcare environments and am looking for my next opportunity to help a child thrive on their own individual journey. I'm hoping to bring my upbeat and positive attitude to an active, engaging home.

Samantha 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi - my name is Sam and I moved to LA two years ago. I had been working with my previous nanny family for a year and a half and am now looking for new families to work with. I am offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I started working with children when I was in middle school and began helping out at a family friend’s daycare and preschool. Since then, I have worked one on one babysitting for families since high school. I have experience with newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I also have experience working as a dance teacher, teaching students from kindergarten to high school and managing classes up to 10 students. I am also happy to care for pets. I have mostly cared for dogs, but also have experience with cats and rodents. I am also available for housesitting!

We give Sam our highest and most enthusiastic recommendation. She has been with our family for nearly two years, and during that time she has proven herself to be an exceptional nanny and caregiver in every sense. Sam is consistently punctual, reliable, and a clear, thoughtful communicator. She manages our two children — currently a 2-year-old and a 6-month-old — with remarkable ease, confidence, and care. Whether engaging them in play, providing attentive and nurturing care, or planning age-appropriate learning activities, Sam brings patience, creativity, and genuine warmth to everything she does. She is equally capable both at home and out in the world. From organizing enriching indoor activities to confidently taking both girls out in a double stroller for trips to the park, Sam ensures they have opportunities to socialize, explore, and play — all while maintaining excellent safety awareness and judgment. Her ability to independently manage both children’s needs simultaneously is truly impressive. Sam also assists seamlessly with preparing simple breakfasts, lunches, and bottles, helps tidy up after playtime, and is excellent at managing sleep and nap schedules. She is organized, proactive, and always respectful of our routines and preferences. Beyond her skills, Sam is responsible, respectful, and deeply caring. She is affectionate and attentive with our children and has built a meaningful, loving bond with them. She has also been a joy for us to work with as parents — trustworthy, kind, and professional. While we are saddened that we won’t be able to have Sam with us as much moving forward, we know that the next family fortunate enough to work with her will be welcoming a truly special young woman into their home. She is all that and more as a nanny, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.

"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)."
