Sonia Garden Grove
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Sonia. I’ve been a nanny for nearly a decade and have cared for both children and adults, including an adult on the autism spectrum. I’m based in the Orange County area and open to live-in nanny positions if needed. I’m certified in Adult and Child CPR and First Aid. I love dance and know a bit about nutrition, so I enjoy helping kids stay active and healthy. I can assist with household tasks such as light cooking, laundry, cleaning, and organizing. Errands and driving for drop-offs/pick-ups are not part of what I offer. Families describe me as calm, dependable, and caring and I do my best to create a safe, positive environment where everyone feels supported.

Tiffany Garden Grove
$23 per hour for 1 child

I’ve been working with kids since 2005, and caring for families has always felt like second nature to me. Over the years I’ve been a live-in nanny and a house manager, so I’m very comfortable juggling busy schedules, helping with homework, keeping the home organized, and making sure kids feel safe and supported. I’ve worked with children of all ages and I really enjoy getting to know each child’s personality and what makes them feel happy and understood. I’m reliable, calm, and confident handling whatever the day brings. My goal is always to make life easier for parents while creating a warm, fun environment for their kids.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
