Kayley 1 review

Booked by 1 family in Los Angeles, CA

Hi there! My name is Kayley and I recently graduated from San Francisco State University with a Major in Communications and a Minor in Africana Studies. During that time I took some Child Development courses and discovered how much there is to learn from kids. I have experience working with kids at the Boys and Girls Club in San Francisco and also helping out my aunts with all my little cousins. I love to babysit not only because it is empowering, and teaches me to play and be patient, but also because I get to help children, show them safe ways to have fun and express themselves, and ultimately help create a community filled with healthy connections. Something about me is that I love to sing, read, design, dance, and act! I have a passion for film and love to entertain! I am also interested in youth organizing and social justice.

Kayley was a great after school Sitter for our daughter, who was then 5 to 7 years old. We were so fortunate to have her during some of the toughest months in the pandemic very early on. During that time she would come to our house and spend anywhere from 3 to 5 hours with our daughter teaching her her lessons. Kate, Kayley is responsible attentive, and our daughter would have a really great time with her.

My services include childcare, pet care, household services, and running errands. I am very comfortable providing homework help, cooking and baking anything, driving kids to and from school or extracurriculars, and generally supervising activities (i.e. swimming, playing, etc.). I am also experienced in caring for cats and dogs of all breeds and sizes in different settings. I am very comfortable with any activities required (feeding, walking, playing, etc.). I graduated from UCLA with a degree in Cognitive Science & Computing. I am a certified Yoga Instructor who brings empathy and warmth to any environment and loves to get to know people. I am highly organized, adaptable, reliable, am a strong communicator, and am fluent in Spanish. I am looking forward to getting to know you, your kids, your pets, and your household needs!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with our nanny, Sofia, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She is incredibly reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. From day one, she built a strong bond with my son and created a safe, nurturing, and fun environment. She consistently went above and beyond—whether it was helping with routines, engaging in educational activities, or simply bringing a positive and calming presence into our home. Her professionalism and warm personality made a huge difference for our family. Any family would be lucky to have her. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and exceptional nanny! Thanks.

Hello! My name is Shanna - I like to tell the kids it rhymes with banana. I'm a creative freelancer with a focus in writing and production, but I love to lean into my nurturing side to watch pets and kids as well. I have been watching children since I was about 12 years old, after my first Red Cross babysitting class. I love animals and children and devote much of my time and energy to them. I have a huge interest in health & wellness and I keep an active lifestyle. I am especially helpful with reading and writing related homework and I love to do crafts with the kids. Whether we are playing a board game, coloring, being active outside, or doing "kiddo yoga", my babysitting nights are always full of laughter and smiles. The greatest reward is the smile on a child's face and a grateful hug goodnight. I love to see them learn, grow, and become filled with wonder. I have experience with all ages, from infants to playful toddlers to angsty pre-teens. I intend to have children of my own one day, but for now I'd like to help your family and share the love I have to offer with yours! *Clean driving record *Brand new clear recent background check *I don't drink alcohol at all and am in good health - I'm never going to show up to the job hungover or exhausted from partying. *Need help with light organizing, folding kids laundry, supervision during a birthday party, washing bottles? I've got you. *My work background and skill set also aid in my ability to communicate well, establish clear boundaries while respecting that of others and encourage children's body safety and consent (I'm not the type to force a kid to hug me and allow them to seek comfort or offer as appropriate.) I feel competent in helping with homework and especially love to help teach reading, writing, and some sciences. I have a very creative side, helping kids with things like creating our own story book or custom made flash cards. *Glowing references available. My babysitting and pet care clients have been loyal and trust me in their homes with their loved ones. They'd be happy to speak to you about my character. Note: As of 2026, I also have a certification in nonviolent crisis intervention, specifically to support those with mental or emotional disabilities and have worked with clients with autism, adhd, ocd, and grief or depression.

I love children! I have been around kids all my life. I have a great personality and kids love me! I’m fun loving, sweet, smart, and a kid at heart! My goal as a Nanny is to be the best I can be to the children; take care of them, teach them, mold them into great human beings! I am willing to do housekeeping that includes picking up toys, light cleaning, dishes, etc. If I had to describe myself in five adjectives I would say that I am energetic, lovable, huggable, sweet, and kind.

"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
