Booked by 10 families in Alhambra, CA

Hi my name is Yulissa! I love to be a child caretaker. I’ve raised my siblings since they were little. I worked at an after school program in an elementary school and loved my job very much. I switched my major from nursing to teaching because I found that I love working with kids. I’m understanding and compassionate and very playful. I believe that children should be protected and loved. I want to be another sitter in this world parents can trust and babies can hang out with and feel safe. I truly believe that children should be educated with love, patience, and validation.

“As Yulissa’s previous supervisor for an afterschool program, Yulissa demonstrates exceptional skills in managing and caring for children of various ages. She consistently showed a great deal of patience, creativity and responsibility while ensuring the safety and wellbeing of the children under her care, and she cares tremendously. Her abilities to engage children in educational and fun activities were outstanding as she create an environment where children felt happy, safe, and were eager to learn. Her strong communication skills allowed her to interact effectively with children, parents, and school staff, keeping everyone informed about the day to day wellbeing of the children. I am confident that Yulissa’s experience, dedication and genuine love for children makes her an excellent choice for any childcare position. She would be a valuable asset to any family looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

Hi, there! My name is Alyssa, and I am native to the Bay Area, having moved to LA in 2024. I love to read, learn about different cultures, cook, and spend time outdoors, usually by taking long walks around the neighborhood with my dog or just sitting outside and soaking in the sun. Having grown up in a big family I’ve always been surrounded by kids and loved it. Their happy-go-lucky nature and inquisitive spirit make it a joy for me! In terms of childcare experience: I've spent three summers working as a camp counselor for Steve and Kate's Camp in San Francisco. The attendance of campers varied on a daily basis but the Sunset location's average was around 130 kids. The ages ranged from 5 to 13. Every day was busy, and I never knew what to expect, but it was always a lot of fun. For three separate summers, I worked as a teaching assistant at my old high school, St. Ignatius College Prep, mainly working with middle school-aged kids. I’ve been using the app Urbansitters since about 2018 and I’ve gotten to know many lovely families as a result. I love getting to know all sorts of different kids. Even though they may be young, they all have their own unique personalities, which makes my job of hanging out with them all the more fun. If you have any questions please contact me. Hope to hear from you! :)

Hi! My name is Kika, I'm a friendly and energetic caretaker with experience as a preschool teacher, nanny, and kids gymnastics coach. I love creating a joyful, safe and structured environment where kids thrive and know they are supported. I've spent the last year and a half nannying full-time for a wonderful family who I feel so lucky to have grown so close with. Their toddler is now heading to preschool, so I'm looking forward to finding a new family to support. I'm looking for at least 30 hours per week and open to more. One of my favorite parts of being a nanny is discovering each child's unique learning style so I can support and foster their growth in a way that they enjoy and works best for them. I love helping kids discover their strengths and interests and building up their confidence. My days with kids are filled with tactile play, arts and crafts, science experiments, making music, storytelling, reading, outdoor adventures and more. I love finding their special interests and talents and supporting them in becoming their best selves. I'm very playful while also being patient and supportive and enforcing the structure and boundaries that help children feel secure. I especially enjoy working with neurodivergent children. As someone who grew up with ADHD, I understand the importance of meeting children where they are and embracing the way they experience the world. I currently teach gymnastics to neurotypical kids as well as kids with developmental and physical disabilities and I really love working with this community. I know that inviting someone into your home to care for your children is a big decision and I value the trust that families place in me. I love building positive and long lasting relationships the families I work with. I have my current CPR, First Aid, and concussion response certifications and I am a mandated reporter in the State of California. Thanks for taking the time to read my profile! I'd love the opportunity to get to know your family and hope to hear from you soon! -Kika

“Kika has been our full-time nanny for a year and a half. She has become family and we couldn't love her more. If our son wasn't moving on to preschool and could stay a toddler forever, then we'd hire Kika forever! (And honestly, if money were no object, we'd keep her on salary just to be on-call - we love her that much.) We're sad to see her less, but very excited for the next families she works with to be blessed with her presence. She is highly creative, joyful, sweet, responsible, communicative, and a really great hang. Seriously, Kika is a gem.”

Booked by 1 family in Alhambra, CA

My name is ElizaBess, I go by Bess. I am 20 years old, a current Registered Behavior Technician, have been sitting for family and friends for around 7 years now and I adore children. I’m very passionate about providing care to children with special needs, specifically autism. I have a pup, Daisy, who is my absolute best friend. In addition to childcare and RBT experience, I also have multiple years of experience in the customer service industry. I got my first job at 14, working at an ice cream shop so I know how to make exceptional treats. I think what makes me a great sitter is that I see the kids as just as much of a person with feelings, opinions and emotions as me. I’m not one to try to put the kids to sleep as fast as I can in order to have my own time. I genuinely enjoy spending time and learning/getting to know these kids in order to make a connection. Despite my age, I am not irresponsible or inexperienced nor am I overly strict or uptight. If you choose me as your sitter, I’m confident you’ll get pretty great reviews from your children:) I have experience in ABA and would also enjoy an opportunity to provide services similar to that.

“Very exceptional and phenomenal in her services. Treated my little kiddo like her own sibling and made him feel very special. Went over and beyond all that was expected as a care giver. Her professionalism is second to none. Definitely recommend her services. Thanks.”

"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)."
