Hello My name is Karine, and I have over 25 years of experience caring for children. I especially enjoy caring for infants and toddlers, from 3 months to 4 years old.

Izobel 1 review
$24 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Izobel, and I’m a recent UCLA graduate with a passion for working with children. I have two years of experience as a camp counselor, where I supervised children, organized engaging activities, and helped create a safe, fun, and welcoming environment for campers of different ages. I also spent a year with BruinCorps tutoring elementary school students, which gave me valuable experience supporting children's academic growth, learning styles, and individual needs. Outside of my professional experience, I've spent plenty of time caring for my nieces and nephews, which has helped me develop a genuine love for working with children. I am CPR certified and prioritize creating a safe, positive, and nurturing environment for every child. I also have experience with dog sitting, so I'm comfortable helping families who have pets! I'm responsible, patient, creative, and dependable. I would love the opportunity to support your family and make sure your little ones feel safe, happy, and cared for!

“Izobel is an incredibly professional, responsible, and dependable babysitter. What truly sets her apart is her extraordinary patience. My child has dyslexia, and Ixobel has been absolutely amazing with her. She never rushes my child, handles moments of frustration with calm empathy, and always keeps activities positive. She is deeply trustworthy and a wonderful caregiver. Any family would be lucky to have her!”

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
