Isabella $19 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Isabella and I am a 18 year old part time college student at cal poly Pomona. I have 6 younger siblings so i definitely know how kids can be and I do have babysitting experience. I have 5 dogs who are my absolute joy. I am the child of a single father so I am responsible for cooking and cleaning meaning I do also have experience in those departments (I absolutely love cooking!). I have a lot of patience due to having many siblings , I’m always kind, I always have an upbeat attitude and even when something is wrong I always see the bright side in things, I do have work experience in Amazon which requires me to work at a fast pace in case I’m needed to. I hope you consider me because I do love taking care of children, pets, etc. I do hope to gain a career in the future that has something to do with being there for children so I really want to expand my resume :)

Booked by 1 family in La Crescenta, CA

Hello! My name is Nissy and I'm a young, energetic, compassionate, and patient 25yr old. I have a B.A. in Psychology and am fluent in both English and Spanish. I'm currently offering services in childcare. I've been babysitting since I was 16yrs old. I have about 5yrs of experience working at daycares (ages 4 months to 10yrs). I have about a year of experience working with kids who have special needs. I also volunteered as an after-school homework helper/tutor for elementary kids. My responsibilities have included meal prepping, feeding, diaper changing, potty training, cleaning, arts and crafts, culinary arts, supervising play as well as engaging in play, and homework help. I take my time to really get to know a child. I like to truly understand any cues they might be throwing my way in order to ensure they feel safe and loved. I love being goofy with kids and engaging with them. Their happiness and safety is always my number one priority. I'm happy to work with families with dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, etc.

"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)."
