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.

Hi! My name is Asiah, and I’m a proud graduate of Cal State East Bay with a degree in Sociology. My passion for working with children stems from being a big sister to five siblings — helping them grow and being someone they looked up to made me realize how much I love caring for and guiding young minds. Over the years, I’ve built hands-on experience in various child-centered environments, including daycares, elementary schools, and recreation centers. Since 2017, I’ve worked with UrbanSitter, building lasting relationships with families who continue to request me. I’ve supported children through daily routines, including meal prep, school drop-offs and pick-ups, homework help, and enrichment activities. During the pandemic, I adapted to meet new challenges by supervising virtual learning, ensuring kids stayed on track academically while still having fun. Currently, I work in an after-school program with 6th to 8th graders, where I lead both an enrichment class focused on art projects and an active class that involves outdoor games and sports. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning creative activities, or just being a positive role model, I find real joy in being part of a child's growth. I look forward to meeting you and your family!

Hello my name is Delmi and I am looking to be your child's babysitter or nanny. I am a mother of 3 children, ages 30, 29, and 24 so I have a lot of experience taking care of children. I have worked in the same company for over 30 years proving that I am a hard and loyal worker. I am a Spanish native speaker and am proficient in English. I live in the Pasadena area and am typically available Monday through Friday starting at 8am. I love working with children because I am very loving and attentive. I hope to hear from you and work with you.

Delmi was so wonderful! My son Leo leaped into her arms instantly and absolutely adored her. Delmi also helped tidy up the kitchen while Leo was sleeping, which was incredible. Would love to work with Delmi again!

I have helped raise my nieces and nephews since day one, as well as other families in my professional experience. I am comfortable caring for and watching newborns/infants, toddlers, and children of all ages. I have cared for children on the spectrum and with other learning difficulties. I have also worked alongside professional behavioral specialist in the home. I am young at heart so I am always happy to play with your children, at what ever stage they are in their lives. Though, I do understand meal time and nap time require a focused nature to get through, which I can lead. I am happy to assist in light clean up and meals for the children.

KC Amazing ! Very professional. She knows how to stay with kids. My daughter loves her. She’s always happy when I come home. Would definitely recommend this sitter.

"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."

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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)."
