Hello! My name is Aylin. I'm a college student attending CSLB online and I’m majoring in child development. I currently work as a campus assistant for an elementary school. I'm really interested in babysitting for you. I'm a reliable, careful, friendly, and responsible person. I'm fully vaccinated. I'm CPR and First Aid certified. If needed I can cook and clean. A little bit about me is that I love working with kids due to me babysitting since I was 14 for neighbors, family members and my mom's day care center. I've babysat from new borns to nine year olds. This sparked my interest for becoming a teacher. I like being a babysitter because it gives the flexibility to work and still be in school.

COVID-VACCINATED* Hello dear family, I would like to share some things about me, my experience and why I really like babysit, well, I work with children since when I was 16 years old, I used help a little girl with her homework, I also worked in one big school, I had the habillity to take care of a lot children at same time, age 2 at 12 years old, I also babysit for familes, I am so glad to had the experience to take care of twins babies, I am comfortable taking care children with age newborn to 14 years old, thats all the ages that I already took care, why I like babysitter? well, the good question would be, how I would not like? I know there are children with a strong personality haha, but all kids just want the same thing, that is have fun, thats why I never had problem with them, my priority it is the safety, but also for me it is important they have fun, they are children, children want explore, use the imagination, play, thats why I always have a great conection with them, because when I am with them, I turn a kid again!

I graduated from East LoS Angeles Community college. I received my associates in child development. I just received my bachelors at Cal State LA in Child Development. I used to be a foster mother so I know transitions can be hard for some children. I have two children of my own but they are now in elementary and I am looking to work in taking care of others peoples beautiful children in the process. I am a dog mom as well therefore I don’t mind taking walks around the block with your little one and your fur baby if that is something you’re interested in. Being outdoors and showing children, elderly and pets how beautiful the day is something I enjoy doing. I am familiar with IEP therefore if your child needs extra help by communicating with baby sign language I can help with that. The one thing I like to mention is I know my alphabet in 3 different languages and I find it a fun thing to teach children. Working on cognitive, gros motor and fine motor skills is also an important factor for me that I would love to implement with your child if you are interested. 😊

I keep my calendar updated! Quick facts! I live in Mid City but always glad to commute if needed. Allergic to cats, but if I take a claritin before I'm fine, just please let me know if you have them so I can prepare! It makes a huge difference for me. :') Joined Urban Sitter in college and built very long relationships. I work a 9-5 but have flexibility working remotely! Experience: I've been on Urban Sitter for almost 10 years. 😱 Additionally, I have three nephews that are now aged 8, 6 and 10 months. Been a part of every (brick by brick) step for all three of them, and it's been a joy. I really enjoy watching kids grow, especially at 4-6 months when they start getting smiley and laugh-y. Lots of infant and tollder experience...bathing, feeding (formula, frozen breastmilk, solids) naps, bedtime, diapers... When it comes to rules/discipline, I'll honor your requests (screen time, homework, activities, etc). Hopefully needless to say am not physical... when it comes to discipline I'll usually go for avoiding any stressful triggers, distracting, talking through feelings, etc. More about me... in my free time I like to watch movies, read, and practice piano! Currently in a data career pivot where I’m working pretty hard on my laptop during the week, with the benefits of being flexible and remote, and I've really been enjoying it.

Vanessa’s skill with kids is unmatched - she made an instant connection with my 4yo daughter when they met for the first time on a trip we took to Mexico City. Her patience, tenderness and creativity was a marvel to witness, and she gracefully supported my little one’s occasional meltdowns. My daughter is so excited for the next time she gets to play with auntie Vanessa!

"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)."
