Hello, I graduated from California State University of Los Angeles with a bachelors in Criminal Justice. I am offering child care, animal care, and household services. I been a babysitter since I was 14 years old and recently had the opportunity to move on from childcare of two children that I been with for years! While that move was sad, I was glad I had the opportunity to watch them grow! My childcare services include, infant, toddlers, and kids. However, I worked more with infants and toddlers! My duties included cooking, cleaning, creation of crafts/games, driving to/from school, parks, and groceries stores. My hobbies are painting, working out, and cooking! I love animals and don’t mind working with them!

“My son had a great time talking with and playing with Katie! She engaged him in all his special interests. She arrived on time and tidied all the toys up afterwards too 🙂 ”

I’ve dedicated my life to working with children and families—from fostering for four years in Nevada to supporting children with autism through Autism Learning Partners and LAUSD as a Behavior Technician. I’ve provided in-home specialized care, taught basic skills, and nurtured kids’ growth through reading and art. As a Lyft/Uber driver, I also safely transport kids and seniors. I’m passionate about what keeps people engaged, and I bring warmth, creativity, and attentive care to every role.

Hi, I'm Tatiana! As a longtime aunt to my three nieces and nephews (ages 1.5 to 11) and a Child Development graduate, caring for children is truly second nature to me. Although I’m new to this app and building my profile, I’d be honored to bring my experience and big heart to your family! Professionally, I’ve worked in both childcare centers and elementary schools. I’ve worked with tiny babies all the way up to 5th grade, and have experience working with children with special needs. I’m dependable, patient, punctual and love keeping children engaged through crafts, reading, or outdoor adventures.

"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)."
