I am an efficient and enthusiastic Spanish-speaking babysitter who enjoys spending time with children. I have been a babysitter for over 3 years. Although, I practice as a Registered Nurse, I don't ever want to stop caring for children. I adore children.

Excellent sitter. On time, friendly, professional and cool. She was able to connect with my kids immediately and they respected her as well.

Hi! My name is Justine. I am 30 years old. I have been babysitting for over a decade and have 5 years of professional nannying experience. I have recently relocated from Chicago to the Los Angeles area. That being said, my experience ranges from working with toddlers to school aged children. I have helped with homework extensively throughout my career. Other responsibilities I have held in the past include cooking meals and shuttling kids to their various activities. I also was in charge of other household duties such as: creating grocery lists, shopping, etc. I am a punctual, professional and hands on nanny. My goal is to create a safe, positive space for children to develop into the best versions of themselves. I am a patient, loving, and committed nanny to all of my kids. Outside of childcare, my interests include reading, self education, cooking, gardening, herbalism, and stopping to sniff the flowers. I look forward to speaking with you, Justine

I’ve dedicated my life to working with children and families—from fostering for four years in Nevada to supporting children with autism through Autism Learning Partners and LAUSD as a Behavior Technician. I’ve provided in-home specialized care, taught basic skills, and nurtured kids’ growth through reading and art. As a Lyft/Uber driver, I also safely transport kids and seniors. I’m passionate about what keeps people engaged, and I bring warmth, creativity, and attentive care to every role.

"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)."
