Ashley $28 per hour for 1 child

Hello there! I have been a Babysitter/Nanny for over 20 years. I have worked in Recreation with children for 15 years, varying from ages 2-14 years old. Currently, I am teaching preschool as well as Phonics (Reading) for ages 2 - 4 years old. Seeing the growth and character development through the younger ages have been greatly enjoyed. Diaper change, potty training, reading, dance, crafts, dramatic play, outside play, cooking, feeding, nap time, & bedtime are just some of the experiences I've acquired throughout my years of babysitting. I have a passion for arts, crafts, and creating enjoyable environments through decorating. I am an animal advocate and have years of pet sitting and some pet training as well. I am current and up to date on my CPR & First Aide Training Certifications. I am also trained in the use of an Epi-Pen for any children who have allergies.

William $21 per hour for 1 child

Hello! Thanks for coming across my profile! In the afternoons, I’m currently a Behavioral Interventionist with ACES ABA, and have always loved kids! I don’t have any direct babysitting experience currently, but have always loved spending time with the young members of my family and playing/taking care of them during family visits. I also have previous experience caring for a special needs adult, and have calmly de escalated and re directed tantrums, and have used this knowledge during my BI job as well. My personality traits are definitely patience, fun, firm, and accommodating to whatever my client has needed in the past. The client always comes first.

Hi my name is Stephanie and I recently moved from Singapore to South Pasadena. I have been a school teacher for the last 15 years teaching young kids between 2-8 years old and I’ve had experience taking care of my nephews from when they were 8 months old. I am first aid and CPR trained and can administer EpiPens if needed. I am happy to help with household chores such as washing dishes, folding laundry, cleaning, and organizing. I can also tutor or help with homework and do pick-ups and drop-offs from activities. I’m excited to get to help out in any way I can!

"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)."
