$20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Genely and I am so excited to offer child care, senior care, and household services. I am currently completing fieldwork hours as a School Counselor so my availability is limited to after 4:30pm on Mondays - Thursdays but have full availability Friday - Sunday. I have worked as classroom volunteer since 4th grade, a teacher aide, substitute teacher, and a school admin assistant. I have many years of experience working with children from various ages and truly enjoy spending time around them! I am very creative/artsy and love exploring and participating in any activities that children are interested in. I also have experience in elderly care. I looked after my grandmother for a few years when she had Alzheimers. I also currently live and take care of a 75 year old woman. I enjoy pets and can do any other household activities needed. :)

Hello. My name is iara. I'm 28 years old and I have been working as a nanny for 8 years now. I've recently graduated from CSULB with a degree in International Studies. For the last four years, I have been working as a night nanny taking care of newborns overnight so the parents could sleep. My job consists of taking care of the babies (from the day they came from the hospital), changing diapers, feeding them, burping, and helping them fall back asleep while documenting everything to let the parents know. I also help parents stabling a routine, learn about their baby, and navigate life with a newborn. I have had the pleasure to work with a lot of amazing families with twins, preemies, etc. I love helping parents with their babies and I also don't mind doing chores around the house while the baby sleeps. I have certifications from reputable institutions such as "newborn care solutions", and CPR, and I'm also fully vaccinated. I have my transportation and can provide as many references as needed. If you have any questions and would like to talk more, please feel free to contact me.

"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
