Hi there! My name is Kenia, I’m 27 years old, and I hold a bachelor’s degree in Child Development. I genuinely love working with children. Their curiosity, sense of humor, and the unexpected moments they bring make every day enjoyable and meaningful. I’ve worked at Beach Babies (a school and daycare) and at Art Zone, caring for children ranging from newborns to 10 years old. Both roles allowed me to build strong, trusting relationships with the kids and their families, and I truly loved every moment of it. I bring a calm, patient, and playful approach to caregiving. I’m also reliable, understanding, and adaptable to each child’s unique personality and needs. With close to a decade of experience, I feel confident in caring for children of any age and creating a safe, nurturing environment. I’d be honored to bring my experience and energy to your family and hope to connect with you soon! Warmly, Kenia

Hello! My name is Britney, and I'm a college graduate from UC Santa Cruz living in LA with extensive experience in childcare. I’ve been tutoring and babysitting children since I was 16, which has given me a deep understanding of their needs and how to engage with them in a fun, educational, and caring manner. I’m passionate about helping kids learn and grow, whether through homework help, creative activities, or simply ensuring they have a safe and enjoyable time. My background in tutoring means I can provide more than just supervision—I can offer a supportive learning environment tailored to your child's needs. I'm responsible, reliable, and excited to bring my experience to a new family. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your children!

She’s great!

For the past year, I worked as a driver/caregiver for a wonderful senior lady. I have an amazing grown-up daughter and have enjoyed every minute of her 32 years; I ran a licensed home daycare when she was an infant and toddler, and was involved in many activities with her throughout the years. I love kids, and I also love dogs; I currently have a French Poodle rescue. I am happy to care for, walk, bathe, etc dogs either sole duty or along with babysitting or caregiver duties. I have a small car in which I can drive 1 or 2 people for appointments, school, activities, etc. I have a clean driving record, and no criminal record.

I first began by working with children in a family daycare setting and have continued to provide childcare in many ways including proving transportation and in home care. Currently i provide transportation to and from school and extra curricular activities for children of all ages, and can provide excellent references from their families, upon request. Additionally, I run the church nursery on Sunday mornings and care for a a 9 month old on an on call basis. I'm the most conscientious and reliable person you will ever meet. I can adhere to a background check or anything else you desire I am open to watching your child or children either in your home or mine. I can provide reliable transportation in that I have a 2017 vehicle. In my spare time I am a volunteer at a classic car museum where I provide tours and drive visitors so they can experience the classic cars first hand. Caring for children has always been a passion of mine. I truly enjoy contributing to their development as well as learning from them in the process. My schedule is extremely flexible and I can be available at a moments notice. I look forward to assisting you and your family in anyway you may need.

Paul was great with our 14 month old girl. She warmed up to him very fast and had a great time reading books and playing with him.

"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)."
