Booked by 11 families in Lakewood, CA

Hi ! I am a 25 year old sitter, with two years of experience caring for infants and 1 year caring for two toddlers and have occasionally cared for kids ranging from 4 - 11. I am CPR certified, have both a clean background check and clean driving record and I speak english and Spanish. I can be ocasional, part time or full time. I am young, energetic and love to be around kids! Their safety and happiness is always my number one priority but also making them feel comfortable and excited to be around me as I always want the kids to not dread having to leave their parents side and thinking of me as a scary stranger. My hope for every parent that meets me is that they can feel my good energy and trust that they are leaving their kids in the right hands and that I will take care of them as if they were my own blood.

Wendy was on-time, helpful, and my twins loved her!

I am offering child care, senior care, dog sitter, house sitter, and household services.

My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even dance lessons. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own parents and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks.

I am loving, fun, caring, respectful, and bilingual Spanish and English. I attend school in Loyola Marymount University.

Claudia cared for our 3-year-old son at home between preschools, and she was wonderful. She was always punctual, communicative, dependable, and took initiative without being asked. She supported our son’s potty training, helped him work through big emotions with incredible patience, and spent time reading books, playing games, and keeping him engaged. Our son was going through a challenging phase with frequent tantrums, but Claudia remained calm, kind, and consistent. Her patience and determination helped her build a wonderful relationship with him over time. She also helped with tasks like folding laundry, organizing our son’s clothes, etc. We highly recommend Claudia to any family looking for a caring, reliable, and proactive caregiver.

"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

"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)."
