Booked by 4 families in Poway, CA

I have experience working at an after school care program caring for TK-5th graders. I facilitated indoor and outdoor activities, coordinated snack time, monitored and assisted with homework and ensured safe, organized pick ups/drop offs. I also worked with teens that had special needs as a teacher’s assistant while in school. After high school, I cared for two kids (ages 2 and 4) for almost a year in their home while working towards my degree in child development. After that, I started caring for an 11 month old in her home. I would read to her, take her outside or to the park, feed her, and more. After she started school, I started watching a 9 month old and a 3 year old in their home, very similar to my other jobs. I also have younger siblings that range from 9-1 years old and I’ve taken care of each of them while my parents were working.

Athena was on time and very sweet! Our boys loved her. She kept them safe and we would definitely recommend her!

Booked by 6 families in Poway, CA

My name is Jiranan, but I go by Nadia because it’s easier to say. I currently work as a caregiver and am looking for a side job working with children to gain more experience. I’m a responsible and easygoing high school graduate who enjoys working with kids and helping others. I have about 3 years of volunteer experience teaching and assisting children, along with some hands-on caregiving experience, including working with special needs individuals. I’m fluent in Thai and Lao, and I’m known for being patient, dependable, and open-minded. I like getting to know each child’s personality and creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment. I’m always willing to learn and grow while doing my best in everything I do.

She was very sweet and tried to connect with each kiddo and their interest. Was on time and professional

Booked by 2 families in Poway, CA

Hello Parents, My name is Biftuu, and I’m a 34-year-old nanny with a deep passion for working with children and pets. Since relocating here from Ohio, I’ve had the joy of working with many wonderful families, caring for children ranging from newborns and infants to school-age kids. Moving here was a big step—I left behind a large, close-knit family of 10 siblings, where I was the go-to “mommy’s little helper.” From a young age, I was changing diapers and helping with my younger siblings, which sparked my love for caregiving. As I grew older, my enthusiasm for working with children only deepened. I volunteered at my community library as a tutor and reading program coordinator during the summers, and throughout high school, I served as a teacher’s aide for pre-K through middle school. These experiences taught me that children come into the world with boundless potential and that I have a role in nurturing their growth, both academically and emotionally. In addition to my extensive experience with children, I also have years of experience in pet boarding and house sitting. This background has equipped me with the skills to handle various household responsibilities and ensure your pets receive the care and attention they deserve. Working as a nanny allows me to focus on a small number of children, providing personalized care and helping to shape their lives with positive habits, creativity, and lots of laughter. I believe in creating a supportive and loving environment where children can thrive and develop important life skills. I would love the opportunity to meet your family and discuss how I can contribute to your child’s development and well-being. Feel free to reach out—I look forward to hearing from you! Warm regards, Biftuu

"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

"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)."
