Hi! My name is Ana, I’m a freshman in college studying Accounting and Child Development.

Tabitha $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I'm Tabitha, a 32-year-old SoCal native who loves the beach, working out at the gym, being a self-taught polyglot, and pursuing creative activities such as crochet and fashion design. I'm also a Commercial Model and actor-in-training! I've practiced martial arts for about seven years, and what I love most about it is the discipline and confidence that stems from pursuing the art. I also love teaching the kids self-defense, and seeing their eyes light up when they accomplish something new! I have an A.S. in Nutrition, and became a Certified Nutritionist! I'm also studying for my NASM fitness certification, because I absolutely love wellness and educating others on how to live a holistically healthy life! I have 5+ years of caregiving mainly of children ranging from the age of infant to 12+. I've also done some pet sitting of furbabies (mostly doggos!). I love caregiving because it's a chance to allow parents/pet owners to get a break, but also to build interpersonal relationships and socialize with different people and cultures! I also love watching the development and growth of children and bonding with them. I can't wait to meet you! :)

"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)."
