Booked by 38 families in Los Osos, CA

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) :)

We were so grateful for Debora! She babysat for us last minute on a weekend getaway, and was very comforting and gentle with our 10mo. It can be nerve wracking hiring someone you haven’t met, and we were very comfortable with Debora. Our daughter loved her. Definitely recommend!

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Los Osos, CA

With over six years of experience working with children of various ages, I bring a strong background in childcare along with a genuine passion for helping kids grow and thrive in a safe, engaging environment. My personality is fun, bubbly, and nurturing, which allows me to build strong connections with the children I care for while encouraging creativity, learning, and play. I enjoy incorporating my hobbies—such as crafting, outdoor adventures, and beach days—into daily activities, creating enriching and memorable experiences. Whether it's going for a walk or run with my dog, organizing hands-on projects, or simply sharing a laugh, I strive to make every day enjoyable and positive for the families I support.

Hayley was wonderful with our son. She is very thoughtful and kind. She communicates well and our son said he had a really great time with her. We’ll plan to use her again.

"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."

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)."
