Hello! I’m Nico and I bring a warm, grounded presence alongside a genuine passion for child development. My background spans 10 years of childcare experience inclusive of nannying, arts education through dance, tutoring, coaching, and one-on-one mentorship — these experiences have sharpened my ability to meet children where they are, build trust, and help them grow in confidence, creativity, and character. I understand that every child is different and I readily adapt my methods to care for children holistically, understanding their unique personalities, pace, and needs. I am professional, discreet, and respectful in my approach — one that always seeks to honor your family's privacy and maintain a standard of excellence in relational rapport. I am organized and proactive by nature, comfortable managing daily schedules, coordinating activities, and communicating clearly with parents and any household staff. I am reliable, flexible, and take pride in my ability to be fully present. My arts and movement background is something I love weaving into everyday life with children — whether that's an impromptu dance session, a creative project, or simply bringing energy and joy to the ordinary moments of the day. I believe the best childcare isn't just supervision — it's thoughtful, attentive companionship that allows children to feel safe, seen, and supported. I would love the opportunity to connect with new families and learn more about their caregiver needs.
“I was visiting LA with my 9 year old, and asked Nico to sit for the afternoon. I hadn’t used the service before but I needed a sitter at a specific time. I showed my daughter several videos, she chose Nico. My daughter had a great afternoon. It’s a small sample size but Nico comes across as very professional with a warm demeanor & seems to genuinely enjoy her work as a caregiver. 10/10 - if the need arises would absolutely book her again the next time we’re in LA.”
Hi parents! I have 15 years of babysitting experience, with as young as 3 months to 12years! I have a B.A. in Dance from Columbia College Chicago. I moved to LA in 2018 and I own a children’s dance studio in Burbank. I would love to work with your family! My video is very old from 2014 when I first joined Urbansitter, I need to update it.

AVAILABLE FOR BACKUP CARE TRUSTLINE REGISTERED Not too long ago it was a tradition for an extended family member to step in as a caregiver for working parents. Now, there are many families who have moved to a new city for a career without a family member nearby. I specialize in taking loving care of children in my role as caregiver. I strive to prepare healthy kid-friendly meals and snacks for children. And I make use of other sites to find activities for little learners. I can keep your child engaged with reading books aloud and other fun and educational activities. I am very resourceful and patient with a sense of humor! For the past couple of years, I have worked as a nanny in share, and with one child alone. Those parents are very willing to be a reference for me. And I had a very successful run in Washington DC with many families from the region. Maybe I have cared for your family or friends in DC; I have more than 400 bookings there. I really look forward to working with your family!
Hi, I’m Kaylee! I would love to be your fun and nurturing babysitter. Some of my favorite things are cats, dancing, acting, baking, and reading. My first professional experience in childcare was as a daycare caregiver for three years, helping create a safe environment for babies to school aged children. From there I transitioned to private nannying for two wonderful children. We spent our days adventuring outside, making arts and crafts, having dance parties, and playing make believe. I had the privilege of many Los Angeles families entrusting me to care for their little ones. I am now offering my services as an occasional and part time babysitter for date nights, school pickups, backup care, or just when you’re needing a little break! 🔤 Native English speaker ⛑️ First aid and CPR certificatied (baby, child, and adult) 🚙 Valid drivers license and safe vehicle ✅ Clean background check through Urbansitter ✍️ Five star reviews on Urbansitter ☺️ Patience and empathy - practicing gentle parenting 🍼 Eight years of childcare experience ages newborn to high school 🖍️ Activity and craft planning 📚 Homework help 🛝 Active play and exercise 🍽️ Meal and snack preparation 🐈⬛ Pet friendly 💉 Fully vaccinated 🤟 Novice ASL - I know basic signs and practice new ones everyday!

Hi there, I’m Avalon! I am an actor and recently moved to Los Angeles from Manhattan where I attended NYU’s Grad Acting program at Tisch School of the Arts. I spent nearly a decade in Manhattan, where I first moved in 2015 to pursue my undergraduate degree at Fordham University. Soon after my arrival, I started professionally nannying around Manhattan and Brooklyn. Throughout my 10+ years of experience, I have provided for families with a variety of needs. From taking care of a newborns, to after school care, to assisting in household management, I have done it all. I have found that my artistic pursuits as well as my experience in teaching theater school-age children complement my child care work extremely well. I’m known for bringing a lot of joy and play into my time with kids. Further, intuition, imagination and creativity come naturally to me, which allows me to come up with thoughtful and creative solutions for conflict resolution and other obstacles. Feel free to contact me if you think we could be a great fit! I look forward to learning about your family, and sharing more about my experience and approach. All best, Avalon :)

"Caitlin was awesome and jumped right in to chaperone four girls (10, 9, 8 and 6) at a family wedding (they were bridesmaids) and she was very helpful with the event as well as taking them home and putting them to bed."
Lila P., parent

"McKenna was great with our 3 year old son! She came prepared with a box of fun activities and handled playing, dinner, and bedtime seamlessly... and it was all at our hotel while we were in town for a wedding. Thank you McKenna!"
