I am currently a second year in college. I am getting a degree in special education to become an elementary school special education teacher. I am the oldest out of 10 cousins so I have a lot of experience with babysitting. I am from Huntington Beach, California. I have been doing softball lessons with kids ages 6-15 for about 5 years now and I love it! It’s so much fun to work with the kids and see them grow as a person and in the sport. I also volunteered at a local church and worked in the nursery and the toddler room. I am a huge family person and I will always be. I know American Sign Language but I am not fully fluent.

Hi ! My name is Elizabeth (or Liz), and I’m a 21 year-old college student currently seeking babysitting opportunities to help support myself while pursuing my education. I’m CPR certified, fully vaccinated, and currently taking medical courses as I work toward a career in healthcare. I have over 5 years of paid experience caring for infants, toddlers, and children of all ages. I’m available for regular babysitting, as well as date nights and late-night care (I’m comfortable staying up past 12am anytime if needed). If you have any questions or would like to set up a time to chat or meet, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you so much for your time and consideration 😊

Had a last minute date night event, Elizabeth quickly responded and came. She did excellent with my kids. Will book her again

Namina $25 per hour for 1 child

I am experienced in caring for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I know how to feed infants, sterilize bottles, and always hold the baby after feeding. At the same time, I can take care of light household tasks, such as washing the baby’s clothes, transferring them to the dryer, and doing small cleanups like washing dishes. I am able to create a daily schedule for your child’s comfort, helping to establish a routine that also supports parents in the long term. I know many educational songs, play musical instruments, and teach children basic manners and etiquette. I can put children to sleep and gently help them transition toward independent sleep. I also know how to bathe and wash children. In addition, I can help at night when a child has colic or if parents need proper rest. I am available for additional hours with some advance notice and will always show up when needed. I am comfortable working long periods without days off, such as up to three weeks, both day and night. I strictly follow all rules and instructions provided and take my work very seriously.

"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)."
