Caring for kids and pets is truly my life! I’ve been around them since childhood, helping raise my siblings and gaining over 10 years of experience as a dog groomer. I’m also a mom, trained in first aid for both children and animals, and I absolutely love creating a safe, happy, and loving environment for them. Being around kids and pets is what makes me happiest.

She was great.

I am 27 , from a small town in Oregon. I have been in LA since September of last year. I am currently in school for massage therapy and chinese medicine, also getting my yoga teacher certification. I love animals, being outside, cooking, doing art, sewing, yoga, skateboarding, anything that gets my body moving or allows me to express my creativity. I am the oldest of 4 siblings so I have tons of experience with many different ages. The ages of children I’ve worked with are 5 months to 16 years. I have my postpartum doula certification as well, looking to expand my knowledge into assisting births as well :) I am also open to a personal assistant type role. I am a very kind, patient and compassionate person so your kiddos will be in the best hands! I am a kid at heart. I am someone you will be able to trust, as I am very responsible, respectful and attentive. I also have my own car and don’t mind helping out with commutes or pick ups/drop offs. I look forward to connecting :-) Ideally I am looking for something longer term part time ! I have my passport and am open to travel as well.

Sascha is a reliable, enthusiastic, caring sitter. She is attuned to my 6month olds needs, has great energy, and naturally partners with me to provide a calm, positive environment for my son. I look forward to when she is with us as I know her presence will make it a great day.

Here’s a little about me: I’m energetic, compassionate, creative, and love working with and caring for children. I’m originally from San Francisco, went to undergrad at Tulane in New Orleans, and am currently in my second year getting my masters in clinical psychology at Pepperdine (West LA campus). During the week, you can find me working as an ABA behavior technician working with kids on the autism spectrum, at my practicum site working as a school therapist at a TK-8, in class, or finding any opportunity to do something creative and/or be outside! I have over 8 years of working with kids (generally ranging from 3 months to 14 years old) in school, summer camp, and babysitting settings.

Kids liked her a lot! Said she was funny 😆 Showed up on time, did a good job

I am an experienced nanny located in West LA looking for either a part-time morning position or a full-time position. I also babysit on weekends and evenings and have occasional openings during the week. I have over 10 years of childcare experience. I love working with kids and have the most experience with ages 0-6. I am especially passionate about infant care. In addition to ensuring the safety of the children I care for, I enjoy doing age appropriate activities with them such as games, reading, parks, zoo, art etc. I have built very strong relationships with the families I have helped in the past and look forward to creating more!

"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)."
