I have a well rounded background when it comes to childcare. I have babysitting experience with elementary aged kids as well as educational experience. I currently work at Rancho Santa Fe Community Center where I am the Sports Director which entails me running sports camps, sports leagues, and just general childcare in between their various activities at the community center. I have been working with children at this job and babysitting consistently for the past 5 years and I look forward to continuing to increase my experience whether it be with different ages or different activities and appointments. I am also able to cook and clean as well as just general tasks around the house whatever that may be.

Booked by 4 families in Oceanside, CA

Some background information about me is I have worked with children for over five years at a youth volleyball club and growing up with younger cousins and a little sister, I've developed a strong sense of responsibility and patience, essential traits for being a great babysitter. My experience with kids has helped me learn how to engage them in fun, safe activities while ensuring their well-being. As a junior at Cal State San Marcos studying graphic design, I also bring creativity and a calm, problem-solving mindset to the table, which allows me to adapt to any situation. Outside of my academic and babysitting roles, I enjoy playing volleyball, going to the beach, and traveling—hobbies that keep me active and connected with others. These experiences have not only shaped my ability to care for children but also nurtured a sense of adventure and creativity that I can share with them.

Interview went great! I’m looking forward to scheduling a babysitting evening.

Betty Carlsbad
$23 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Betty. I bring a calm, warm, and dependable presence into the home and truly enjoy supporting children as they grow, learn, and feel secure. I believe in creating a loving environment where children feel safe and happy, while also maintaining gentle structure and consistency throughout the day. I hold three associate degrees in Child Development, Behavioral Science, and Communication, which give me a strong foundation in understanding how children develop and thrive. Along with my education, I have many years of hands-on experience caring for infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children, guiding them through important milestones with patience and encouragement. I have extensive experience in infant care, including feeding, diapering, and establishing healthy sleep routines. With the Austin family, I provided consistent, attentive care and helped create a peaceful, structured environment. Her parents often shared how much they appreciated my reliability, attentiveness, and the sense of trust and comfort I brought into their home. In addition to my professional experience, I teach religious education for preschool-aged children, which reflects my faith-centered values and my commitment to guiding children with kindness, respect, and purpose. I truly see each child as a gift and feel honored to support families by providing dependable, heartfelt care they can trust.

"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)."
