Hi! My name is Melissa Vivas I’m looking for a babysitting position. I love to find something more long-term and consistent. I’ve been babysitting since high school and have experience with kids from newborns to 10 years old. I’m very responsible, caring, and great with routines whether it’s naps, meals, or playtime, I adapt to what works best for each family. I’ve also worked as a coach, which has helped me build strong leadership and communication skills. I’m happy to help with light housekeeping, laundry, and meal prep as well. I really take pride in being reliable and someone families can depend on.

“Interview went great! I’m looking forward to scheduling a babysitting evening. ”

Hello! My name is Aylin. I'm a college student attending CSLB online and I’m majoring in child development. I currently work as a campus assistant for an elementary school. I'm really interested in babysitting for you. I'm a reliable, careful, friendly, and responsible person. I'm fully vaccinated. I'm CPR and First Aid certified. If needed I can cook and clean. A little bit about me is that I love working with kids due to me babysitting since I was 14 for neighbors, family members and my mom's day care center. I've babysat from new borns to nine year olds. This sparked my interest for becoming a teacher. I like being a babysitter because it gives the flexibility to work and still be in school.

"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)."
