Booked by 2 families in Cerritos, CA

I have cared for children for over 15 years. I have a background in the medical field/pediatrics. I am trained in CPR and First Aid and have been fully vaccinated for Covid. I love caring for infants as well as toddlers and teenagers. I enjoy doing arts and crafts, outdoor activities and just having fun. I am reliable and organized with a great passion for watching children learn and grow.

Ramee came early and quickly made my wife feel confident leaving her with our 3 year old and 1.5 year old. She was super sweet and sent us updates during our long night out. Our daughter keeps asking us when she is coming back because she had so much fun!

Booked by 2 families in Cerritos, CA

My name is Nyla and I have been caregiving for almost 25 years. I started babysitting as a young adult with family members and evolved into caretaking for infants, young children, seniors and even pets. I am trustworthy, responsible, attentive. I take pride in being a positive role model focused in child development. I am committed to working closely with families to provide them with the level of care that they need.

Nyla was great! She was punctual and had great communication. She had a playful attitude that was really fun for the kids. She made sure to clean before she was set to leave, which I really appreciated. I will definitely be hiring Nyla again!

"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)."
