Sonia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Sonia. I’ve been a nanny for nearly a decade and have cared for both children and adults, including an adult on the autism spectrum. I’m based in the Orange County area and open to live-in nanny positions if needed. I’m certified in Adult and Child CPR and First Aid. I love dance and know a bit about nutrition, so I enjoy helping kids stay active and healthy. I can assist with household tasks such as light cooking, laundry, cleaning, and organizing. Errands and driving for drop-offs/pick-ups are not part of what I offer. Families describe me as calm, dependable, and caring and I do my best to create a safe, positive environment where everyone feels supported.

Cami $26 per hour for 1 child

I grew up 1 of 4 with my sister being diagnosed with autism exposing me very early on with the needs of nuerdiverse people and the comlassion and empathy needed to support them! I worked with kiddos of all ages for over 10 years starting with teaching swim lessons starting at age 16 and casual babysitting for friends and family to now working with kiddos with nuerodifferences and providing ABA therapy. I believe children are our future and they should feel supported, understood and safe! I love seeing the kiddos I work with grow and learn and become amazing little humans! I love going on hikes and walks with my dog, you will likely find me at the dog beach or in the garden during my free time. I love to create and am currently working with ceramics for my small business!

"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)."
