Hi! My name is Brianna. I’m 25 years old and a master’s student at University of La Verne studying child development to become a child life specialist. I’ve been babysitting for 10 years and working as a professional nanny for 7 years. I’ve worked with kids of all ages, from newborns to preteens. I have a passion for working with kids and helping them learn and grow. I most recently nannied for a baby who I watched from the age of 4 months to 11 months. Before that, I watched twins from the age of 11 months until they were 2.5 years old. If you’re interested, don’t hesitate to reach out!

Brianna was amazing and very easy going!

Hi! My name is Grace! I am a behavioral therapist. Working with children is my passion. My passion developed when I ironically was a child myself. It all started on November 12, 1998, the day I finally became a big sister. I was always the youngest of my four sisters and one brother. When I became a big sister, I loved it. I always wanted to help, play with, provide for, and keep my younger brother and younger sister safe. That became something that stuck with me and blossomed beyond my big sister duties. My love for working with children got deeper and more loving. I started babysitting for family and then neighbors. I worked for an after school program and eventually became a preschool teacher. My current job doesn't even feel like work. That's how much I love working with children. Also, I have a car and I'm more than willing to drive kids around! Not a problem at all!

Booked by 2 families in Dana Point, 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!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
