Hello! My name is Isabella. I am currently a third year student at CSUSM with a sociology major and hope to become a 1st grade teacher.

Additionally, I am an animal lover and understand the importance of including pets in a child’s life. I can help teach children about responsibility and empathy through caring for animals, making our time together even more enjoyable. Also to bond with your pets as well <3 Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. I find joy in their curiosity and imagination and love to be a positive influence in their lives.

Lisa $35 per hour for 1 child

I’m an experienced nanny, Family Assistant, parenting educator, and published children’s author with a genuine love for children and families. I’m also the mom of two grown sons whom I homeschooled through 10th grade. I’ve worked professionally with private families since 2017, caring for children from infancy through school age, including neurodivergent children. I’m warm, playful, calm, dependable, and emotionally attuned, with a particular passion for helping children build confidence, independence, and emotional regulation skills. I also genuinely enjoy the household side of family support—healthy meal prep, laundry, errands, organization, transportation, household resets, and creating systems that make family life easier. I’m comfortable with pets, love being active and outdoors, and bring a mature, grounded presence along with plenty of energy and fun. Before working with private families, I spent 28 years with Nordstrom in leadership, training, and operations. I’m CPR/First Aid certified and would love to find families who value warm, reliable, proactive care.

"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."
