Hello, My name is Jennifer. I have over 10+ years experience with kids of all ages. I started babysitting at the young age of 12 years old. I've always enjoyed spending time or teaching new things to young children. I was a tutor for 2 years and taught ages 5-13 years old. At age 15 I was involved with a nonprofit organization based on young kids and teenagers who were involved in alcohol or drugs. I've always found it fascinating to be able to make a difference in our community and help kids in need. While in college, I invested my weekends working as a Disney Princess for many Birthday Parties. I would dress up as all types of characters and perform for kids, teenagers and adults. When I wasn't in school, I worked part-time as a Swim Instructor. I instructed all ages from infants, toddlers, kids and teenagers. I was also involved as a Birthday Party coordinator during the weekends. I would host events and pool parties while supervising all staff and lifeguards. I'm also very active and was involved in sports during my High School years. I played Volleyball & Softball. I was Varsity Caption for my Cross Country Team & also involved in Dance. I have a very strong passion for sports and enjoy going on hikes on my spare time. I will be the dearest friend and most caring sitter that your child will adore. I have no problem meeting with you for an interview or using Facetime to discuss any of your concerns. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your wonderful family :)

She is warm, patient, and genuinely caring, and it’s clear how much she loves working with children. Our child absolutely adores her and is always happy, comfortable, and engaged in her care, which gives us so much peace of mind as parents.

I’m Briana, an experienced sitter for over 10 years. I cook, clean, and love to care for kids. From diapering to driving kids to their activities, I’m experienced with it all. When it comes to my style with care giving, I like to practice the just go with it method. Playing with kids, no matter their age, is a lot of improv. I enjoy forming connections with kids and supporting their natural preferences and curiosity, as long as they’re staying safe! I’ve recently been inspired by the RIE philosophy, studying and practicing it for 3 years. I enjoy nurturing each child’s curiosity, autonomy, and natural development. This means I create a calm and safe environment where kids can play at their own pace to naturally learn about the world around them, from infancy to childhood. I observe and respond thoughtfully to their cues as they explore and take it all in. I am the eldest grandchild in family, so taking care of little ones has always felt natural. During my 5 years living and studying in San Francisco, I worked extensively with kids whose ages ranged from 6months to 8 years old, often staying with one family for years as the children grew. I also had 5 months experience with an infant in Fontana. I love working with children of all ages and find it very easy to form relationships with those I care for. I enjoy singing, baking, playing outdoors and all things creative. I also teach yoga so I am always up to date with my CPR certification. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and fish if you need help with pets at home. I also maintain my own small greenhouse and know my way around a garden, if you ever need help tending to your plants. I am confident I can be a great fit for any family who communicates how I can make the experience best for their unique needs. I look forward to meeting you all!

Briana was great- she brought coloring pages and connected with our daughter right away. She went above and beyond and checked on her after bedtime. We’ll definitely request her again! 😍

Booked by 13 families in Pasadena, CA

Hello! My name is Janelle and I have been a childcare provider for 6 years now. I've cared for multiple families with kids ages 3 months - 14 years. Jobs included playtime outdoors and indoors, crafts, driving or waking them to and from school, help with homework and online learning, meal prep, morning routines, bedtime routines, light housework, and even pet care. I grew up in a big family taking care of my younger sister and my many cousins. Additionally, I have taught dance, voice, piano, and theatre over the last 10 years, so I've been working with youth for some time in many different contexts. I am currently located in the Mount Washington area of Los Angeles. I'm up to date on all of my vaccines. I am also an actor and musician, so if your child happens to be interested in the arts, this is an especially good fit! Child care is my day job of choice because I genuinely love children. They keep my spirits high and fill me with purpose. Watching them grow, and playing a part in their upbringing has been the greatest, unexpected gift since I started this journey. Thanks for taking the time to read! I look forward to meeting you and your family! :)

Janelle is wonderful! She was on time, super communicative, and really kind. I receive credits for urban sitter through work, and since I don't have kids was looking for someone to do some housekeeping. She did a great job and we look forward to having her back!

"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)."
