Booked by 2 families in Playa Del Rey, CA

I’m an experienced nanny, educator, and mother serving families throughout the South Bay and Los Angeles. I currently work as a TK Instructional Aide in Hermosa Beach while completing my Early Childhood Education coursework and pursuing my California teaching credential. I hold a B.A. in Developmental Psychology from UCSB and have worked with children for over 15 years in a variety of roles, including nannying, live-in au pair work, tutoring, classroom support, mother’s helper positions, and household assistance. My experience ranges from infants and toddlers to elementary-aged children, including children with learning differences special needs. I provide warm, reliable, and developmentally appropriate care focused on helping children feel safe, supported, and engaged. I enjoy incorporating outdoor play, reading, art, baking, and hands-on learning into daily routines. For younger children, I focus on responsive caregiving, routines, language development, and play-based learning. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to assist with light household tasks, home organization, errands, meal prep, pet care, and helping keep the home running smoothly. I have dependable transportation, am pet-friendly, and can provide excellent references. I’m currently seeking a consistent weekday position, ideally between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.

“Laura babysat my four-year-old for the first time yesterday. She immediately gained his favor by having a few tricks in her bag, literally. She came prepared with many arts and crafts and little presents, which of course he loved. She took him to the park as well, which is one of his favorite pastimes. Highly recommend!”

Hi! Im Frances (or Frankie), and I’m a dependable and friendly babysitter who loves working with kids of all ages. I’m currently studying Early Childhood Development at ECC, and through that, I’m passionate about helping children grow, learn, and feel safe in a nurturing, supportive environment. Through my coursework, I’ve gained a strong understanding of child development, age-appropriate activities, and positive behavior guidance! I love creating attention supportive, creative experiences for kids, whether that’s arts and crafts, reading together (my favorite!!) outdoor play, or fun learning activities tailored to their age and interests. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive, and I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident and comfortable leaving their little ones in great hands! My goal is always to provide a safe, supportive, and fun environment where children feel heard, valued, and happy. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on creating a safe and positive environment. I follow routines carefully, communicate clearly with parents, and enjoy helping kids feel supported, happy and comfortable. I’d love to help support your family in any way I can!!

“Frankie was fantastic! She is polite, punctual, and organized. She was also great with the kids and jumped right in to play with them and engage them. They had a blast with her.”

I bring over 30 years of real-life, hands-on experience supporting families, homes, children, and seniors. I am the proud mother of six children, all grown and thriving, whom I homeschooled with care, patience, and intention. Being a mom is my greatest joy, and caregiving is truly second nature to me. I’ve also successfully raised two dogs and a cat, so I understand the dynamics of busy, loving households and feel very comfortable in them. In addition to parenting, I spent many years working as a house manager, where I supported families by keeping their homes organized, running smoothly, and stress-free. I see myself as an extension of your family—someone who steps in to assist where needed, whether that’s childcare, senior care, household chores, or day-to-day support. I’m dependable, adaptable, and proactive, with a strong understanding of how homes function best when care and structure work together. I have professional experience in home health care with seniors and approach elder care with compassion, dignity, and respect. I’m comfortable assisting with daily needs, companionship, light household tasks, and creating a calm, supportive environment. I truly value caring for people at every stage of life. With children, I’m patient and attentive, and I take time to understand how each child learns and processes information so I can help bring out their best—academically, emotionally, and creatively. I enjoy crafts, sewing my own clothes, and hands-on activities, and I love introducing children to meaningful skills and creativity. I also enjoy preparing wholesome foods, including making homemade organic fruit roll-ups from scratch. I’m very comfortable around dogs and horses—my children grew up around horses—and while I’m slightly allergic to cats, I have owned one and manage it well. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, experienced, nurturing, and capable caregiver who truly loves supporting families and homes, I would be honored to work with you. For more than seven years, I’ve worked closely with senior citizens, including patients living with dementia and Alzheimer’s. This experience has taught me the importance of patience, empathy, and truly understanding each individual’s needs. I’m quick-thinking, naturally witty, and able to adjust seamlessly in challenging moments, which allows me to connect easily, de-escalate situations, and provide care with both professionalism and heart.

"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."

"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)."
