Hello! I have over 10 years of experience helping single parents to busy high profile households with 4 kids. Their ages ranges from new borns to 13! I’m most comfortable caring for children 2 and up. Experience: - 4 years as an executive assistant - 8 years + as personal assistant - 14 years of nanny and babysitting - pet care + school pick up and drop off - happy to run errands and schedule activities as well. I’m looking for part time work until the end of the school year or provide any on call babysitter needs :) I love the family I’m working for now but they are sorting out their next move since they lost their home from the fires.

Booked by 1 family in Gardena, CA

My name is Ana, and I am a caring, responsible grandmother of five wonderful school-aged grandchildren whom I have been actively caring for over the years. I hold a degree as a bilingual secretary, and while my professional background began in administrative work, my true passion has always been in helping others—especially through caregiving. With years of hands-on experience supporting and nurturing children, I bring patience, empathy, and strong organizational skills to every task. I am fluent in both English and Spanish, dependable, and attentive to individual needs. I am excited for the opportunity to provide warm, reliable care and companionship to those who may need extra support in their daily lives.

Asia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Asia! I'm a natural caregiver with a background in early childhood working in Preschool for a few school years and a deep love for supporting kids' growth through play, nature, creativity, and routine. Over the past year, I've returned to nannying and tutoring and currently help families with school pick-ups, extracurricular drop-offs, homework help, and daily rhythms at home. You can usually find me outside with the kids, doing arts and crafts, reading together, or creating simple learning activities. I'm CPR + First Aid certified, comfortable with pets, and happy to assist with light housework, laundry, and meal prep. I aim to be a calm, reliable presence that kids feel safe and excited to be around.

"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)."
