Booked by 20 families in Acton, CA

I am an experienced nanny, baby sitter and caregiver, having worked in the industry intensely for about fifteen years. I have been sitting children, however, since I a teenager. I am a fun-loving sitter who really puts her heart into her work. I've had many clients for the fifteen year period, and we have become like family to one another. I have a grown daughter whom I've raised to a successful adulthood. I have excellent references, a clean driving record and can easily pass a background check. I have my own vehicle and car insurance and can drive clients to various appointments, pick up from school, or take on outings. I was a Girl Scout for nine years. I was a lifeguard in high school, certified Red Cross. I have saved a few lives, a drowning victim - a 6-year old boy when I was a teenager; and, most recently, a grandmother who was choking to death at a valley restaurant. I have taken art for ten years, and love doing arts and crafts. I consider myself to be an excellent cook. I sing in church choir. I am great with pets, too. I am a freelance book editor in my spare time, and use the sitting money to supplement my income. I have been a book editor for about twenty years, mainly working on education materials and text books. I have a college degree.

Hi! My name is Kamea, I graduated from UCLA with honors. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I have experience mentoring and caring for children of different ages through my work with AmeriCorps and Young Storytellers, as well as babysitting toddlers during college. I worked closely with high school students as an academic mentor, tutor, and support resource, and I currently help elementary school students build confidence through creative storytelling and writing. I am patient, dependable, organized, and very family-oriented. I also love animals and have a Yorkipoo and two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and loved ones. I recently worked in marketing for The Walt Disney Company before being impacted by company-wide layoffs, and I am currently looking for opportunities where I can help support families in meaningful ways. I would love the opportunity to assist your family however I can!

“Kamea is an incredible young woman: kind, reliable, punctual and responsive. I’ve had her watch my elderly in the past he had many complications that required precise care and affection that she was amply able to provide. Anytime I had a concern I could reach out to her and receive a prompt response. She is incredible and I do recommend 11/10”

"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."

"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)."
