Aram Pasadena
$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!

I am a reliable and dedicated caregiver with consistent experience supporting one family, caring for their 8-year-old daughter until they relocated. I enjoy spending time with children and like being active outdoors, going on walks, and trying new foods. I’m comfortable around pets, having cared for two, and can help with light household cleaning and cooking. I also speak Spanish, which helps me communicate well with a variety of families. I bring a caring, responsible, and dependable presence to every home I work in.

Faith Deddeh Gono Pasadena
$25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Faith, and I absolutely love working with children. Caring for kids fills my day with joy, laughter, and purpose. I believe every child deserves to feel safe, loved, and encouraged to explore their imagination—and I do my best to create an environment that balances fun, structure, and care. I’ve worked with kids of all ages, from busy toddlers to school-aged children juggling homework and play. I enjoy planning activities that match each child’s personality, whether that’s story time, crafts, outdoor play, or fun learning games. Families describe me as warm, dependable, and nurturing—I take safety and routines seriously while also bringing energy and creativity. I’m happy to help with light household tasks like , dishes, laundry, or tidying play areas. Most importantly, I strive to be someone kids feel safe, comfortable, and excited to spend time with. If you’re looking for a reliable babysitter who truly loves children, I’d be honored to support your family.

Catherine Sierra Madre
$24 per hour for 1 child

Hello, and thank you for connecting. My name is Catherine, and I am a Los Angeles Native. I have my Master's degree in Educational Counseling and my B.S. in Rehabilitation Counseling. I have functioned as a professional advocate for 30 years. I have had the privilege of serving individuals with intellectual disabilities and their families throughout Southern California. My experience working with children began in parks and recreation, and lastly as a school counselor in the public school system. Throughout the years, I have been around children with and without developmental barriers to learning and physical challenges. I enjoy being around young-hearted people as they learn about life and themselves. Serving adults with various abilities to be as independent as possible is fantastic because, just like me, everyone wants to be the king/queen of their castle. I appreciate life and all that it offers, learning and being active on my bicycle, walking, playing catch with another, and going to the library are how I enjoy my precious time. I am here to be of service. Please feel free to contact me with any specific questions to help me best meet your child's and or adult care needs. Current Virtus (Protecting God's Children). C.E.R.T.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
