Booked by 1 family in Altadena, CA

I began doing dog sitting for family and friends pups since I was in high school. Now I have two lovely fur babies of my own. I have many years of experience with dogs. I have met many wonderful fur friends by dog sitting. I always treat and take care of all dogs as if they were my own. I truly love to get to know pups!

“Noemi is the absolute best and I’m so glad that she joined Urban Sitter. She is dependable, skilled and so very kind. My dogs love her very much and I am comfortable knowing they are safe and well cared for. ”

Aram $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Aram and am a recent graduate from LU. I am offering childcare (4+) as well as Senior Care. A bit about myself. I’m very attentive, present, and genuinely enjoy being around kids. I work in a Sunday school setting, where I help create a fun, calm, and welcoming environment while supporting children through activities and routines. I’m responsible but easygoing, good at reading kids’ moods, and I care a lot about making children feel safe, comfortable, and seen. Families can count on me to be thoughtful, dependable, and truly engaged. I love helping kids develop confidence and teaching them new things while also being helpful around the house! So if you need any errands to also be done I’m more than happy to help!

Booked by 1 family in Altadena, CA

Hello, my name is Tugs-Erkh, and my nickname is Kuala, like the bear. I have 4 years of in-home nannying experience working with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I also have 3 years of early childhood developmental experience in preschool and pediatric therapy settings. I'm energetic and sweet, and I love child-led play and exploration of the world. As a caretaker, I like incorporating various activities related to art, reading, imaginative play, fine and large motor skills, and outdoor activities. I highly value safety, common sense, and maintaining the child's well-being. I am Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certified. I have extensive experience with meal prep, bottle feeding, naptime, cleaning/ organizing the home, and caring for pets. With my previous childcare experience combined with my background in Waldorf education, Social Work, and early childhood development, I am confident that I would be an excellent fit for your family. Thank you!

"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)."
