Booked by 2 families in La Crescenta, CA

Hello! My name is Emily, and I am a caring, dependable, and energetic childcare professional with over 3 years of experience working with children of all ages, including infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. As a preschool teacher, I have developed strong skills in creating safe, nurturing, and engaging environments where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. I am passionate about helping children reach developmental milestones through play-based learning, creative activities, outdoor exploration, reading, and positive encouragement. My classroom experience has taught me patience, organization, communication, and the ability to manage routines while meeting each child’s individual needs. Families describe me as trustworthy, responsible, and easy to communicate with. I understand the importance of building strong relationships with both children and parents, and I strive to provide reliable care that gives families peace of mind. In addition to childcare, I am happy to assist with homework help, school pick-ups and drop-offs, meal preparation, light housekeeping related to the children, and pet care. I love creating fun, meaningful experiences that help children feel confident, happy, and cared for. I am currently seeking a position where I can become a positive, supportive part of a family’s daily life.

“Emily was reliable and let me know every step taken. Was on time and oh so so sweet. My son's therapist who was there as well told me Emily was a great sitter! I'm giving her 5 HUGE stars! Thank you so much for your help. :D”

Hi, my name is Ariel! I am a caring and dedicated childcare assistant and nanny with 8 years of experience, and I truly love what I do. I believe in gentle care and I have patience that runs very deep. I have experience in both in-home daycare settings and as a personal nanny through a professional childcare agency, caring for children ages 0 months to 6 years old. My goal is to help infants and children reach important developmental milestones physically, mentally, and emotionally. I also provide light housekeeping, cooking, and laundry to support busy families. References and background check are available upon request.

Amariya $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Amariya, and I’m currently a dental assistant trying to figure out what I want to do next. I’m offering childcare, senior care, and household services. I’ve been babysitting since I was 15 years old. I’ve watched newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) and have taken on various responsibilities, such as driving to and from school, crafts, tutoring, and even dance lessons. In addition to babysitting, I also work as a household assistant. I can cook, clean, and run errands. I’m also a great bridge partner! I’m allergic to cats, but I’m happy to work with families that have dogs.

"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)."
