Hi, I'm Isis Chanel! Caring for children is more than just a job for me—it's a calling. With 15+ years of experience in childcare, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a deep commitment to nurturing young minds. As an intuitive Reiki Master and Healer, I create a harmonious and balanced environment for the children I care for. I am First Aid, CPR, and AED certified, ensuring your child's safety at all times. I have worked with kids of all ages, from infants (0-3 months) to teenagers (16 years old). I love keeping children active and engaged through fun games, mindfulness practices, park outings, crafting, and nature adventures. I am also happy to drive them to school and various activities. I am very comfortable with and familiar with blended families, LGBTQ+ families, high-profile families, and two-household families where parents share custody. Your child's well-being and happiness are my top priorities, and I am dedicated to providing the best care possible.

Hello families! My name is Mary, and I have over 15 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to school-aged children. I am CPR and First Aid certified, TrustLine registered, and have excellent references from families I have worked with throughout the years.

Mary loves doing fun and engaging activities with children and always keeps them active, happy, and entertained. She is trustworthy, dependable, and always on time.

Booked by 29 families in Acton, CA

Hey Parents! My name is Jessica and I was born and raised in Austin, TX. I graduated with a BA in Theater Arts from the University of Texas at Austin. I have been a babysitter/nanny off and on for the last 13 years. I have looked after newborns and children up to 14 years of age. I truly enjoy spending time with them and being apart of their development journeys. My responsibilities have included picking up/driving children, light child-related household duties, putting down for naps/bedtime (we love a nap routine!), cooking/preparing meals, feeding, helping with homework, reading, going out for walks, and of course general care and playtime! In my off time I have founded a nonprofit called Orísun Collective, and we host creative arts summer camps for kids in Nigeria. I would run the camp as well as teach the acting class. My hope is that all children will have the space and support to be their full selves and reach their full potential. I am a very goal-oriented person, and I know that I am capable of achieving every single thing I put my mind to. I have been hosting an event every 6 months for the last 10 years called Girls With Goals, where I bring a group of women together at my house and we talk about our goals, write them down, and keep each other accountable throughout the year. Everyone always leaves inspired and motivated to conquer their goals!

“Jessica was amazing. We hired her multiple times to watch our two kids under 3, and every experience was a great one. She was dependable, kind, patient, and very good with both children. She made us feel at ease. She is caring, capable, and experienced. We were grateful for her help and would gladly hire her again.”

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"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."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
