Korea 3 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in La Palma, CA

Hello! My name is Korea and I am 37 years old. I was born and raised in Fresno, California, and I’m the eldest of seven children. From a young age, I played a major role in helping my parents with caregiving and family support. I have a younger brother diagnosed with Spina Bifida, which gave me early experience assisting with activities of daily living. I also have another younger brother diagnosed with Juvenile Diabetes, and I helped with monitoring blood sugar levels and administering insulin. While living in Fresno, I worked as a Tutor with the Teaching Fellows Foundation, supporting elementary students in grades 1 through 6. I also helped with creative enrichment activities including cooking, gardening, and hands-on learning projects. During my time at Birney Elementary, I was honored to receive Employee of the Month. In 2015, I moved to Long Beach, CA, and began working with the W.R.A.P. Program through the Boys & Girls Club of Long Beach. I supported students through tutoring, structure, and behavior reinforcement, and worked with children who needed extra guidance and patience. I worked at both Nelson Academy and Jackie Robinson Academy, and during my time at Nelson Academy, I received Employee of the Month twice. Over the years, I have continued building experience working with children and teens of different needs and personalities. I have worked closely with two neurodivergent teenagers, supporting daily routines, emotional regulation, communication, and structure in the home environment. I have also worked with organizations including Cortica and Amergis, gaining additional experience supporting children with developmental and behavioral needs. Currently, I work as an Instructional Aide with Long Beach Unified School District, where I support students in the classroom academically, behaviorally, and socially. I am also working toward my BCAT credential (Board Certified Autism Technician), which reflects my dedication to providing quality care for children with autism and other developmental differences. Overall, I truly enjoy working with kids. I’m patient, dependable, and nurturing, while also understanding the importance of structure, boundaries, and consistency. I take pride in being someone families can trust and rely on. I’m currently based in Malibu (with some time spent between Malibu and Long Beach), and my main address is Malibu. I’m especially interested in childcare opportunities in Malibu and the surrounding areas.

“I have had the pleasure of knowing Korea for several years, and I can confidently say she is one of the most genuine and kind-hearted people I know. Even though we don’t live close and don’t get to see each other often, I am always excited when we do get the chance to spend time together. We originally met through a mutual friend, but it didn’t take long for me to appreciate her for who she is as a person and to value her friendship on her own. Korea is naturally warm, thoughtful, and caring. She is the type of person who truly shows up for others. She is hardworking, honest, and consistently goes out of her way to help those around her without expecting anything in return. Her kindness is not just something she says — it’s something she lives out in how she treats people every day. When it comes to children, Korea is especially wonderful. I have personally seen how she interacts with my own kids, and she is incredibly patient, fun, and nurturing. She meets children where they are, making them feel safe, heard, and valued. She has a natural ability to connect with kids in a way that makes them comfortable and happy to be around her. At the same time, she maintains a calm and responsible presence that gives parents peace of mind. I would trust Korea to care for children because I know she takes responsibility seriously. She is attentive, dependable, and genuinely enjoys spending time with kids — not just supervising them, but engaging with them in meaningful ways. Any family would be fortunate to have Korea caring for their children. I wholeheartedly recommend her and believe she will bring the same kindness, dedication, and positive energy into any home she works with.”

"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)."
