Growing up, I always knew I wanted to work with children. I played volleyball for seven years and loved coaching younger players to help build their confidence. In high school, I tutored and assisted grades 2nd-5 through a program called Urban Compass. During COVID, I lived with my sister and helped care for her three children, supporting their daily routines and education. I’m now studying culinary arts in Los Angeles and worked with a wonderful family caring for two kids (ages 5 and 6). I handle school pick-ups, drop-offs in the parents’ car, and guide them through their evening routine. I also help with light cleaning, cooking meals, and baking sweet treats the kids love! I have two cuddly cats at home, so I’m very comfortable with pets too.

“She is great with kids and pets. She cleaned the house and made it spotless. She is very entertaining to my kid. My daughter loves her.”

Mia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Mia. I’m currently a student at PCC and in the Child Development Program. I'm completing my field practice hours at the PCC child development center. At the center, I've gained experience working with 3-4 year olds. I also work in a after school program at a private school in Pasadena where I prep and manage activities for children around the ages of 5- 12. Friends and family knew I was very responsible starting at an early age. I became their go to person to look after children and pets. Caregiving helps us foster a deeper sense of gratitude by reminding us that every day is an opportunity for kindness, compassion, and love. Whether it's caring for a loved one or helping someone in need, caregiving can remind us to be more grateful and appreciative of the world around us.

"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)."
