Hello, my name is Nancy, I have experience because other than being a mother of 4 I was a provider of IHSS which stands for In-Home Supportive Services. I have taken care of seniors that require patience and much care and my last job I was working with a girl with special needs for 2 years. Now I have a part time with a baby girl 4-months-old and a Baby Boy 8-months-old I love working with all ages because each age brings its own adventures. In my free time I like to exercise, cook, and read. I also want to be honest, My English is not perfect But that is not an impediment to being a reliant and loving babysitter. I am also certified in adult and pediatric First Aid, CPR, & AED.

Hi families ! I'm Natalia, I’m from Colombia, and I wanted to introduce myself and share a bit about my experience. I have over 10 years of solid, hands on experience working with children in different environments. I spent a full year as an Au Pair in Calabasas, where I was fully responsible for the kids’ daily routines school drop-offs and pick-ups, activities, homework, meals, and overall structure at home. That role required a high level of trust, organization, and consistency, and it’s been a big part of shaping the way I work with families. Even to this day, I’m still very close with the family I lived with, which I think says a lot about the relationship we built. Before that, I worked as a gymnastics coach with kids of different ages, where I learned how to manage groups, keep kids engaged, and create a fun but structured environment. I’ve also worked in a hospital setting with children, including those with special needs, which gave me a deeper level of patience, awareness, and ability to adapt to each child’s specific needs. Alongside all of this, I’ve consistently babysat over the years, working with different families and age groups. I also volunteer constantly at church with the kids groups. I’m very confident handling routines, multiple children, and creating a safe, positive environment while still being proactive and supportive to both kids and parents. āœ…CAR āœ…CPR āœ… BILINGUAL (ENGLISH-SPANISH) āœ…GREAT WITH DOGS / PETS āœ…NON-SMOKER āœ…VACCINATED āœ… SOLID REFERENCES

ā€œNatalia was wonderful! She arrived right on time and immediately interacted with our children in a way that felt completely natural and genuine. Our daughter, Kelsey, took to her almost immediately, which gave us a great sense of comfort from the start. Natalia was confident, attentive, and communicated clearly and effectively. She has such a warm, sweet disposition, and it was evident that engaging with children comes naturally to her. We felt comfortable knowing our kids were in her care and really appreciated how personable and easygoing she was. We had a great experience with Natalia and will absolutely be utilizing her again. We’re very happy to have found her and would definitely recommend her to other families!ā€

Hi everyone! I’m Caylah. I’m a special education teacher. I’ve been working with kids since I was fourteen, though I’ve been babysitting since I was ten. I’ve worked for my mothers dance camp as an administrative assistant and art activity instructor. Over the years I’ve had many jobs and volunteer experiences which have allowed me to work with all ages. I like to take the kids out if the weather agrees with me. In my free time I enjoy reading, traveling, painting, drawing, crocheting, pottery, roller skating, and trying new foods.

ā€œCaylah was super kind, connected with my daughter quickly and was very flexible and reasonable. We would love to hire her again!ā€

"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."

"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)."
