Aurora 3 reviews
Tustin
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I’m Aurora — I work in the medical field and have a genuine love for caring for others. I have experience with children of all ages, including those with autism, and I’m known for being patient, dependable, and easy to communicate with. Kids warm up to me quickly because I bring a calm but fun energy — I love reading stories, getting creative with crafts, spending time outdoors, and keeping things structured yet full of joy. Whether you need an occasional sitter, consistent help, or someone you can trust in a pinch, I’m here to make your life easier and your little ones feel safe and cared for. I treat every child like family and always show up with a smile and a helping heart. I’d love to connect and see how I can support your family — feel free to reach out anytime. P.S. I accept payment via cash, debit, or Zelle—whichever is most convenient for you

We couldn’t find a sitter my daughter liked until we met Aurora! She’s so kind and patient, and now my daughter actually looks forward to “Aurora days.”

"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
