Booked by 1 family in Altadena, CA

Decades of experience with the added spice of an artist is what you get! Oldest child in my family coupled with being one of the oldest cousins with additional neighborhood children always around means it’s been many years of childcare experience for me! I currently help with a 4 year old boy and a 1 year old girl regularly. Years back I helped a family with 4 kids. I’m an excellent aunt to my nieces and nephews too!

Victoria $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Victoria, I’m 29 years old, and I’m a graduate of California State University, Fullerton with a degree in History. My background is in secondary education, and I’ve always had a deep passion for working with children. I have four years of nannying experience with kids ranging in age from 4 to 18, and I find so much joy in supporting both their academic and creative development. I believe childhood enrichment is incredibly important, and I love incorporating fun and educational activities into daily routines. As an artist who enjoys drawing and painting, I’m always excited to share those skills with children and encourage their creativity. I’m also available to tutor in a wide range of school subjects, including help with homework, projects, and essay writing. In addition to childcare, I’m a huge animal lover! I have two cats and one dog of my own, all of whom I’ve raised since they were young. I’d be happy to help care for family pets as part of my role. My goal as a nanny is simple: to make your life easier. Whether that means running errands, assisting with pet care, helping with older family members, or creating a safe, structured, and engaging environment for your children—I’m here to support your family however I can.

I am a caring, reliable, and experienced childcare professional with over 15 years of experience working with young children in a preschool setting. I have worked as a Lead Preschool Teacher for the City of San Marino, caring for and teaching children ages 2–4 years old. I have experience helping children develop important early-learning and life skills, including potty training, early writing skills, phonics, basic motor skills, singing, dancing, and age-appropriate educational activities. I also provide one-on-one phonics instruction to help children build confidence with early reading and literacy. I am patient, nurturing, dependable, and passionate about creating a safe and positive environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun. I have a reliable vehicle and am CPR certified. I would love the opportunity to bring my experience and caring approach to a family looking for a trustworthy and dedicated childcare provider.

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

"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)."
