Kamea 2 reviews
Tujunga
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kamea, I graduated from UCLA with honors. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I have experience mentoring and caring for children of different ages through my work with AmeriCorps and Young Storytellers, as well as babysitting toddlers during college. I worked closely with high school students as an academic mentor, tutor, and support resource, and I currently help elementary school students build confidence through creative storytelling and writing. I am patient, dependable, organized, and very family-oriented. I also love animals and have a Yorkipoo and two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and loved ones. I recently worked in marketing for The Walt Disney Company before being impacted by company-wide layoffs, and I am currently looking for opportunities where I can help support families in meaningful ways. I would love the opportunity to assist your family however I can!

Kamea is an incredible young woman: kind, reliable, punctual and responsive. I’ve had her watch my elderly in the past he had many complications that required precise care and affection that she was amply able to provide. Anytime I had a concern I could reach out to her and receive a prompt response. She is incredible and I do recommend 11/10

Booked by 2 families in Altadena, CA

Hello! My name is Emily, and I am a caring, dependable, and energetic childcare professional with over 3 years of experience working with children of all ages, including infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. As a preschool teacher, I have developed strong skills in creating safe, nurturing, and engaging environments where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. I am passionate about helping children reach developmental milestones through play-based learning, creative activities, outdoor exploration, reading, and positive encouragement. My classroom experience has taught me patience, organization, communication, and the ability to manage routines while meeting each child’s individual needs. Families describe me as trustworthy, responsible, and easy to communicate with. I understand the importance of building strong relationships with both children and parents, and I strive to provide reliable care that gives families peace of mind. In addition to childcare, I am happy to assist with homework help, school pick-ups and drop-offs, meal preparation, light housekeeping related to the children, and pet care. I love creating fun, meaningful experiences that help children feel confident, happy, and cared for. I am currently seeking a position where I can become a positive, supportive part of a family’s daily life.

Emily was reliable and let me know every step taken. Was on time and oh so so sweet. My son's therapist who was there as well told me Emily was a great sitter! I'm giving her 5 HUGE stars! Thank you so much for your help. :D

"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

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
