Hello! My name is Debora and I'm 25 years old! I love kids and I have a lot of experiences with them. I've been caring for children since I was 15 years old and I have worked with children of varying ages over the years (newborns to preteens) also I have three brothers, all younger than me, so I helped my parents with them. I used to work in a pre school and also babysit a little boy since he was born until he turned to 5 years old. Now I've been taking care of a 21 months old baby girl. I am CPR/First Aid certificated. I am also bilingual. Some activities I love doing with children include building forts, puzzles, playing hide and seek, painting, reading. I do love going outdoors, what is definitely a world of adventure for children. In my free time I love hiking, reading and cooking new things. If you have any question feel free to message me and I will be honored to take care of your little one(s) :)

Booked by 3 families in Los Osos, CA

Hi! My name is Constantina, and I’m currently looking for a part-time or full-time position caring for a senior. I have extensive experience working with older adults through nursing school and my clinical experiences. For the past five years, I’ve also worked part-time during school breaks and summers providing care for a senior. In addition, I have years of personal experience caring for and supporting my grandparents, which has given me a deep understanding of how important patience, compassion, and companionship are when caring for an older adult. Currently, I’m working with one family caring for a senior, and I would love the opportunity to support another family as well. I’m compassionate, patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with seniors. I understand how important it is for families to have someone they can trust to provide respectful, caring, and reliable support. I’m preparing to begin my RN nursing residency program and would love the opportunity to continue caring for seniors beforehand. I’m happy to help with companionship, meal preparation, errands, appointments, light housekeeping, daily routines, and other needs that may make day-to-day life easier and more comfortable. I’d love to learn more about your loved one and see if I might be a good fit for your family. Please feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to connect!

"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)."
