Hi! I’m a caring, dependable, and energetic person who genuinely loves spending time with kids! 💛
I have an education in Child Development and experience working with children in my community and around the world, including children’s homes in India and Africa. These experiences have taught me how important it is to make every child feel safe, valued, and understood.
I love getting to know each child’s personality and finding ways to make our time together fun, whether we’re playing, crafting, reading, exploring, or just being silly! 😊
My goal is for your kids to feel happy and cared for while you have peace of mind.

“Dear Perspective Family,
It is with deep gratitude and complete confidence that we recommend Deb Scribner as an exceptional
nanny and caregiver.
Deb has been with our family since August 2022, and quite simply, she has been one of the most
impactful people in our lives during this season. As a household with two working parents—both
operating full-time in corporate roles from home—our days are fast-paced, demanding, and often
overlapping between meetings, deadlines, and the needs of a growing child. Navigating that dynamic
requires not just childcare, but a true partner in the home. Deb has been exactly that.
From the very beginning, Deb has provided outstanding care for our son. She is reliable, consistent, and
incredibly thoughtful in how she approaches each day. Beyond meeting his basic needs, she has actively
contributed to his growth and development—supporting his preschool homeschooling journey and
teaching him foundational skills that will serve him for years to come. Her ability to balance structure,
creativity, and warmth has made a lasting impression on him.
What sets Deb apart is the way she seamlessly integrates into the rhythm of family life. She is proactive
in coordinating schedules and planning ahead—whether it’s helping us prepare for vacations or ensuring
continuity during busy work seasons. She has also gone well beyond traditional nanny responsibilities,
caring for our home in ways that have brought us immense peace of mind—from tending to our garden
and chickens to embracing the joyful chaos of our energetic dog.
More importantly, Deb has cared for our family as a whole. She has supported us through illness,
surgeries, and the emotional complexities that come with early parenthood—postpartum challenges,
mom guilt, and the many transitions that working parents face. She brings wisdom, calm, and genuine
compassion in moments when it matters most. There is a steadiness about her that cannot be taught,
and it has been invaluable to us.
We can say with complete honesty that we could not have navigated this chapter of life without her.
Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have Deb as part of their home. She is trustworthy, nurturing,
capable, and deeply invested in the well-being of the families she serves.
If you are looking for someone who will not only care for your children but truly support your entire family,
we wholeheartedly recommend Deb Scribner.
Warmly,
Ryan and Brianna Schaaf”

Hello my name is Diana! I’m a sophomore at SBCC majoring in Mathematics (teaching). I am pursuing my bachelors, masters and teachers credential to be come a high school math teacher!
I grew up very family oriented taking care of cousins and younger siblings from a young age. I’ve been officially babysitting since I was 16, caring for infants, toddlers, and kids!
I adore arts/crafts, learning, reading, music, math, and movies! I am a strong swimmer. I speak English, Spanish, and just started learning ASL. I love all animals and grew up raising farm animals, sized from a little betta fish all the way to a horse!
I would love the opportunity to care for your child(ren)!
“Diana was great talking care of our 2yo daughter on our evening out, she was punctual and even left the place tidied up. I’d definitely work with her again”
Cosette $25 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I’m Cosette :) I’m a student at CSULB and I only have classes Monday and Wednesday, so I have a lot of availability the rest of the week. I’m originally from Temecula and I’m looking for a job while I’m in college. I’m in a sorority and involved in community service, so I’m very responsible, dependable, and used to being committed to a schedule. I used to be a nanny for a family with three kids, and I also worked as a head coach at an afterschool elementary program, so I’m great with keeping kids active, engaged, and still on routine. I’m patient, fun, and very safety-focused. I can help with anything! Pickups, homework, meals/snacks, activities, bedtime routines, light housekeeping, laundry, organizing, and errands. I also have 3 puppies that I love spending time with, so I’m super pet-friendly!

Hello there parents of LA and OC! I am Isis, I have been a professional babysitter/nanny for seven years now.
Throughout the years I have learned so much about children and babies! I have taken care of as young as a three week old baby to Young teens. My greatest qualities as a babysitter/ nanny is that l am super playful with a good imagination coming up with arts and crafts, activities and games. I am always on the go whether it's going to the park or to the library.
Things always come up on the road such as traffic, accidents, and inconvenience but l'm always on time for my families.To conclude I am always there for the kids that I care for and love and care for them as if they were my own. I'm always loving, kind and patient. I hope to hear from you soon and can't wait to meet you and your family.
Best Regards,
Isis

"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."
Amy L., mom of one
"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)."
