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!

I would love to discuss your care needs with you.. My name is Billie-Jean. I am a younger widow with an empty house. I am a mamma with my boys across the country, I’m a grandmother with lots of love and attention to give. I have excellent references and a current & clean background check. I have a very flexible and open schedule. Im happy to come early in the morning or stay late into the night. I happily come to your location. I am more of a personal assistant than just a babysitter. I try to help out wherever I can. I’ve been in hibernation since the pandemic began (for safety). I’m excited to meet a family that could use my help. While your child is spending time with me it would not be as if your child was spending time with a sitter it would be more like your child was hanging out with grandma. I am fully vaccinated. Pre-pandemic, I had helped a Chino Hills family for 9 years. Along with 30 years of experience helping various families at various times. This father was a solo parent, with an extremely high demanding job. I was somewhat more of a household manager. I just knew what needed to be done and took care of it His needs s changed, they relocated out of state. Please contact me if you would like to discuss your household needs further. Please keep safe and healthy.

The kids had a great time! She even helped pick up the toys. Would definitely hire 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."

"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
