Hi, my name is Adilyn. I'm originally from New York, but have been in California for over 20 years. I'm married with two young adults. I've been a stay at home mother all of my children's lives. I decided to do some babysitting because I enjoy being around kids and I could also continue doing my part as a mom/wife. I have been very fortunate to be able to be home with my kids throughout their life and if I can provide some ease to parents looking for a caretaker then I'm glad to do it.

Adilyn is just fantastic - we love her calm and positive energy, her commitment to caring for our little one, and her proactivity with early arrival and cleanup. We're so thankful to have found her for future date nights!

Hello! My name is Nathalie and I’m a recent college graduate from California State, Dominguez Hills (December 2025) with a Bachelor's of Science in Child Development along with a concentration in Early Development and Learning. I’m currently a substitute teacher a few times a week and nannying several times a week. I plan to study for my teaching credential this Fall. I have previously worked as a private nanny, afterschool program teacher, and a behavioral therapist. I'm determined to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment. I’m proficient in active supervision, adapting to new environments, engaging in play and leading activities to avoid screen-time use. I can help support with pickups, drop offs, homework and errands. I'm patient, nurturing, empathetic, thoughtful, responsible, and passionate about creating a safe space to ensure a positive experience for you and your child.

Greeting Parents, My name is Robyn, and I am 27 years old. I have been passionate about childcare since I was a teen. I first began helping my grandmother with her at home daycare. Even at family gatherings, I was the one happily caring for babies—changing diapers, feeding, and soothing them to sleep. I truly believe children make the world brighter, and it brings me joy to support their growth and well-being. I would love to be apart of your family, please reach out for further inquiry or questions.

Robyn was great with our 2.5 year old and 5 month old! So attentive and calm. Was able to do the dinner and nighttime routine. Kept us updated and our kids loved her! So happy we found her!

"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."

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)."

Eric D., dad of two
