I have 9 years of experience babysitting and caring for children from infant to adolescence. I am loving, patient, and very energetic! I love reading, arts & crafts, and dancing. I am fluent in English and Spanish! I have completed many child development classes and through that, I earned my Associate Teacher certificate. During my freshman year in high school, I worked with many families doing afterschool care. I would also volunteer at the Downtown River Boys and Girls club in Petaluma every day after school. Soon after I was offered a program coordinator position for the Boys & Club where I ran all kinds of enrichment programs while also helping children with their homework and building warm relationships with them. I also volunteered at Mt. Taylor Children’s Center in Rohnert Park where I engaged children in playtime, read books, and made sure children were safe at all times. My work through high school helped me realize I have a passion for caring and teaching children. I am a great role model for children and want to help guide them through their life’s in the most positive manner.

“Great with our kids while we were in town for a party!”

Hi! I’m Odalis, a Nursing major at Santa Rosa Junior College with a genuine love for caring for kids. I enjoy singing, dancing, spending time with my dog, going to church, and being with the people I love. Babysitting is truly an art to me — one that takes patience, creativity, and heart. I’m known for being patient, reliable, and loving, and I always aim to bring comfort, joy, and calm to every child I care for. I’ve cared for children of all ages, from infants to older kids, including multiple children at once. My experience includes school pick-ups and drop-offs, practices, games, homework help, meal prep, light cleaning, and full routines — from fun activities to bedtime. I’m also comfortable with infant care, including feedings, stroller walks, reading, naps, and soothing nighttime routines. I’m dog-friendly and happy working with both small and big dogs! I look forward to providing reliable, loving care and creating a joyful, safe, and nurturing environment for your little one(s).

I have 5+ years babysitting kids of ages 1 through 13 and 3 years of experience working as a behavior therapist for kids diagnosed with ASD of all ages. Experienced pet sitter and house sitter as well :)

“Talita has been regularly babysitting both my two year-old and five year-old over the last year. Talita is a wonderful caregiver to both kids. She is reliable, patient and always engages in fun activities with them, indoors and outdoors. With her background working with kids, she is also fantastic at managing any challenging behaviors. I highly recommend Talita as a caregiver!”

"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)."
