Camille $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am a compassionate 24-year-old registered nurse with 2 years of experience working with postpartum moms and newborns at Miller Children's and Women's Hospital in Long Beach. While I absolutely adored my job, I recently left working at the hospital due to stress and being overworked, and being unable to leave the night shift. In my time off from working as a nurse, I would love to use my knowledge and skills to help out families! Along with postpartum nursing, I have around 3 years of experience babysitting, from ages 4 months to 12 years old. I am hardworking, organized, fun, honest, and clean. I have always received amazing reviews from new mamas at the hospital about how attentive and caring I am with them and their newborns, and I intend to carry that energy into the world of babysitting as well.

"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)."
