Booked by 5 families in Manhattan Beach, CA

Hi there! My name is Elizabeth and I currently work at a school with children from ages 5yrs to 16yrs. I’ve been working there for over 20 years. I also used to have my own family child care and would care for children ages newborns and up. I opened up my own family child care because I enjoy working with children. My passion is making children happy and seeing them smile. I enjoy various outdoor activity including painting, dancing, singing, etc. I’ve worked at a senior center and have cared for senior family members. I enjoy helping others!

Elizabeth was able to jump right in and take in our hurried instructions for bedtime while we had to run out the door. She let us know how the kids were doing during the next few hours and was professional, courteous, and very skilled. She was not phased by our kids not wanting to have a babysitter and taking a while to warm up.

Hi, I'm Abby, an experienced babysitter and creative professional. I have a background in childcare and graphic design, combining responsibility, creativity, and fun. I have years of babysitting experience, caring for children of all ages. I also worked in graphic design, honing my creative skills. I am excited to bring my love for children and creativity to babysitting! Most recently, I was a preschool teacher and cared for children aging from 18 months - 4 years. I engaged with them through reading, singing, imaginative play, building blocks/toys, outdoor activities. I prioritize safety and have CPR and First Aid certifications. I'm reliable, responsible, and enjoy building connections with kids and families. Let's create memorable experiences together! Thank you for considering me as your babysitter. I look forward to meeting you and your family!

I prioritize arts and active play, with minimal to no television (except when necessary to soothe children). I teach kids yoga, and I like to teach them about nutritious food which improves their mood. I have 38 years experience caring for kids and I'm a mom myself. I'm an Ivy league graduate who specializes in child development and conflict resolution.

Michele was great! She was very nice and great with my kids! Will definitely be using 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."

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)."
