$25 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated childcare provider and a current teacher at a licensed daycare, bringing both professional training and extensive hands-on experience to families. I've been actively babysitting since I was 18, specializing in the care of toddlers and school-age children up to 13yrs old. My background gives me expertise in creating safe, engaging, and educational environments, managing routines, and providing reliable support. While I enjoy unwinding with friends, walks, and binge-watching shows in my free time, I bring a calm, positive, and energetic approach to my work, prioritizing your children’s well-being and happiness.

Booked by 1 family in Ladera Ranch, CA

My background includes lifelong, hands-on caregiving experience. I started babysitting at age 13 and helped raise my younger siblings, who are now teenagers. Through this, I’ve developed a unique relationship with kids—they respect me, feel safe with me, and also find me fun and engaging. I’m playful, know how to make kids laugh, and keep them entertained, while also providing structure, support, and emotional safety. I currently live in a household with a 2- and 4-year-old, so I’m very comfortable with toddlers, routines, and day-to-day childcare needs. I’m patient, attentive, and naturally nurturing, and children tend to connect with me easily. I also have strong experience with pets and household support. I have a 1.5-year-old mini dachshund who is extremely gentle and great with kids, and if allowed, I’d love to bring her along occasionally. Overall, I’m dependable, warm, and genuinely enjoy caring for children, pets, and families, creating an environment where everyone feels supported and safe.

Elyse San Juan Capistrano
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Elyse and I have nearly 10 years of experience in early childhood care. I have worked with children from infancy through age 13, including neurodivergent children, and held an au pair position abroad for 11 months. I am kind, patient, and energetic, and I enjoy getting to know the children and families I work with to build meaningful & lasting relationships. I believe these strong connections help create a supportive and nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. Additionally, I love animals, being outside (hiking, surfing, biking, etc.), and spending time with loved ones. If you are looking for some help with your little ones or pets, please feel free to reach out! Best, Elyse

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
