Isabell 2 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My name is Isabell and I'm currently an Administrative Assistant. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching toddlers, and kids since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included walking to/from school, crafts, and tutoring. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I am happy to work with families with dogs and cats.

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Isabell. From the moment they arrived, they were warm, punctual, and highly attentive to our child’s needs. She quickly established a connection with our child, creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment that put us completely at ease. Isabell has demonstrated excellent communication skills—keeping us updated as needed while also handling everything independently and with great confidence. She came prepared with engaging activities, handled routines like meals and bedtime smoothly, and showed a genuine care and patience throughout. What stood out most was Isabell’s professionalism, reliability, and natural ability to make children feel comfortable and happy. It’s clear that takes this role seriously and truly enjoys working with kids. We would not hesitate to hire Isabell again and highly recommend Isabell to any family looking for a trustworthy and caring babysitter.”

Hello families! I am a patient, responsible, and caring caregiver with more than ten years of experience caring for and supporting children, seniors, and families. As a mother, I understand how important safety, patience, and trust are. I can help with meal preparation, grocery shopping, errands, companionship, walks, transportation to medical appointments, and daily routines. I enjoy reading, outdoor activities, music, and creating a calm and positive environment for children. I am also comfortable with pets. I speak Persian and English, have reliable transportation, and hold a current First Aid certification. My background in customer service, education, photography, and community work has helped me become organized, dependable, creative, and respectful toward people from different cultures and backgrounds. I listen carefully to each family’s needs and always treat children, seniors, and their families with kindness and respect.

Susie $40 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Lafayette, CA

Hi, there! I am an authentically enthusiastic, welcoming, & dedicated experiential education professional, skilled in making joyful and meaningful connections with others, particularly children & youth. I have over 20 years experience working with children and youth in outdoor education, 3.5 years experience as a private nanny (ages 1-4), and 13 years experience as a mom (successfully raising 2 children since birth). :-) I have a B.A. and M.S. in Recreation (with a focus on youth programming), I have an active Wilderness First Responder certification (advanced medical training), and I drive groups of students regularly for outdoor excursions. I am equally passionate about outdoor education and early childhood development, so nature play/exploration is an integral part of my nanny care! Outdoor education focuses on learning through experience, saying “yes” to try, and being curious about the world around us. I am creative, dedicated, easy-going, and a self-starter yet love working as a team. In addition to outdoor exploration, I integrate songs, art, baking, and field trips (e.g., zoos) into my work with children, and I bring a global perspective of having visited 17 countries. I would love to explore this opportunity to work with you and your precious little one(s)!

Hi! My name is Yoselyn. I am from Peru and I speak Spanish and English. I have over 8 years of experience working with children through volunteering, babysitting, and childcare support. I am very patient, caring, honest, and responsible. I have taken childcare and infant care courses, and I am trained in first aid. I have also participated in volunteer work with children, which strengthened my passion for childcare. I truly enjoy supporting children's development and helping them learn, explore, and grow in a safe and positive environment. I always prioritize children's safety and emotional well-being. I am looking for a respectful and safe environment where I can support families and be part of children's daily routine. In my spare time, I enjoy swimming, watching movies, riding my bike, exploring new places, and hiking. I would love the opportunity to bring my experience, care, and positive energy to your family and support your children's growth.

“Yoselyn was great with my baby. She was always caring, patient, and dependable. I would definitely recommend her to any family looking for a kind and trustworthy nanny.”

"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)."
