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

Here’s a little about me: I’m energetic, compassionate, creative, and love working with and caring for children. I’m originally from San Francisco, went to undergrad at Tulane in New Orleans, and am currently in my second year getting my masters in clinical psychology at Pepperdine (West LA campus). During the week, you can find me working as an ABA behavior technician working with kids on the autism spectrum, at my practicum site working as a school therapist at a TK-8, in class, or finding any opportunity to do something creative and/or be outside! I have over 8 years of working with kids (generally ranging from 3 months to 14 years old) in school, summer camp, and babysitting settings.

Kids liked her a lot! Said she was funny 😆 Showed up on time, did a good job

Hi my name is Stephanie and I recently moved from Singapore to South Pasadena. I have been a school teacher for the last 15 years teaching young kids between 2-8 years old and I’ve had experience taking care of my nephews from when they were 8 months old. I am first aid and CPR trained and can administer EpiPens if needed. I am happy to help with household chores such as washing dishes, folding laundry, cleaning, and organizing. I can also tutor or help with homework and do pick-ups and drop-offs from activities. I’m excited to get to help out in any way I can!

Booked by 6 families in La Crescenta, CA

I am writing to introduce myself as a driven compassionate Nanny/Caregiver who has expectations of communication and childcare skills. owing to my extensive childcare and household .my goal as a Nanny is to take care of children, help them grow, and watch over them have fun! If I can describe myself in five adjectives I would say that I am dependable, honest, a hard worker, a good listener, and kind.. something personal about me is that I love animals...

Lourdes was an excellent caregiver, she took care of my daughter for a whole year. She did many activities with her, and my daughter was really happy to have her around. Lourdes is very reliable and has a great personality. I would recommend Lourdes to anyone that is looking for a kind, fun, caring and thoughtful caregiver.

"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

"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)."
