“We hired Sandra to take care of our 5 day old foster newborn baby. She had flexibility and excellent care! We have had her for almost 6 weeks and she has been a lifesaver when we needed her! She had been super flexible and had gone over and beyond! She has done extra work with laundry, washing bottles, bringing diapers, bringing baby dish soap & so much more! She would make a great addition to any family. My husband travels and his schedule is so sporadic and her flexibility has saved us! Since it’s foster care, I didn’t get a chance to take anytime off so having her has helped immensely. 2 social workers have come weekly and have seen her handle the baby with care and see the love she gives her. Also, as a child therapist, it’s hard for me to leave my children with anyone- I 110% trust her with both my kiddos! ”

Benjamin $33 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I have a master’s degree in teaching from USC and a degree in psychology from UCI. I have 12+ years working in education in the following roles: certified elementary teacher (taught 5th grade for 4 years), substitute teacher in elementary, middle, and high school, sports coach, and tutor. I can speak and understand some Spanish. I love working with kids, love music, sports, arts, and outdoor activities. Love cats and Spiderman. I’m the oldest of 5 siblings, so leadership and caregiving come naturally to me. I’m usually the one at family parties playing with and teaching the little ones. I have experience baby sitting my own nephew since he was months old (now 5). I attended private schools from 1st grade through high school (attended Loyola High School where I played football and ran track). Outside of my credentials I’m flexible at the moment and willing to take on whatever task you are interested in throwing at me with enthusiasm!

Rachel $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Rachel, and I recently graduated from college. I am a compassionate, dependable, and patient caregiver available for child care, senior care, and pet care services. I understand that care needs don't always happen on a schedule, so I am often available for short-notice, evening, weekend, and last minute requests. My greatest caregiving experience comes from serving as the primary caregiver for my grandmother for two years through her end of life care journey. During that time, I assisted with daily living activities, meal preparation, transportation, companionship, medication reminders, mobility assistance, and emotional support. This experience taught me the value of patience, empathy, reliability, and treating every individual with dignity and respect. I currently work in campus safety at a high school, where I interact with students, staff, and families daily. This role has strengthened my communication skills, responsibility, problem solving abilities, and capacity to remain calm in high pressure situations. I am CPR and First Aid certified, have reliable transportation, am a non smoker, and can pass a background check. My goal is to provide families with peace of mind by delivering safe, attentive, and personalized care. Services Offered ✔ Child care & babysitting
✔ Senior care & companionship
✔ Pet sitting & dog walking
✔ Transportation & errands
✔ Homework assistance
✔ Meal preparation
✔ Light housekeeping
✔ Overnight care
✔ Short notice bookings
✔ Evening & weekend availability I take pride in being reliable, trustworthy, and attentive. Whether I'm caring for children, seniors, or pets, I provide the same level of dedication and compassion that I would give to my own family.

"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)."
