22 years old. CPR certified with a valid driver license and my own car. I am a 4th year at San José State University majoring in Social Work with a minor in Child and Adolescent Development. Starting August 19 will have online classes Wed & Thurs 6-8:45pm. Last school year I had an internship for a school district and was able to talk to kids one-on-one ages 4-12 while being stationed at a middle school in their wellness center. Will be graduating December 2026. I have worked at a summer camp for the past 4 summers. I have worked with children from k-4th grade. I worked as a camp counselor for Camp Ramona at Ramona Convent Secondary School summers 2021 and 2022. I was with a group of 8 kids by myself and watched over them during play, pool time, and walking field trips. I worked as a teacher’s assistant for the MTRC summer program at Our Lady of Lourdes summers 2023 and 2024. First year I was with 3-4th graders and last year I was with 1-2nd graders. I helped them in the classroom, played with them during recess, and watched them for field trips. I have also been payed to clean someone’s living space as they were busy with a newborn baby. I love kids I have a niece who is 8 and nephew who is 4 that I have also experienced taking care of them. I have been a dancer for 17 years if your little one is interested in learning I will be able to teach. I have also played basketball for 4 years and other sports for fun I can play with them.

I am a mother of 2 kids who are now adults. I currently work full-time as an elementary school teacher. My BA degree is in Child Development and my MA is in Education. I also have daycare experience with infants and toddlers. My weekends are free and so are my summers. I love children and looking to help out. I’m great with caring for infants and toddlers. With school children, arts and crafts, reading to them, playing board games with them, and helping out with homework is something I can definitely do.

Hi! My name is Alexis and I am 26 years old. I am a UCLA graduate. I am a very easy going, friendly and creative person. I love art and going on adventures! I'm also fluent in Spanish! I love children and have been babysitting children of all ages, (including newborns), all over the South Bay/LA area for the past 12 years. I was a full time nanny to a family of 3 under the age of 3 for 4 years until the family moved out of state. I can provide referrals if requested. I am also the oldest grandchild amongst a very large family so I've grown up with the babysitter role. My parents are teachers as well, so I am good with teaching and helping with homework. I am very comfortable with cooking, driving or taking the children out to play. I drive a 2017 Jeep Cherokee, I am insured by AAA and have full coverage. I can't wait to meet your family!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
