Booked by 3 families in Rancho Santa Fe, CA

Hello! My name is Isabella. I am currently a second year student at CSUSM with a sociology major and hope to become a 1st grade teacher. My current experience involves an internship at Fallbrook Stem Academy with 1st and 2nd grade students four times a week. I babysit often with relatives, friends and family friends. I have a 7 year old brother which has given me at least five years of babysitting experience. I have a super bubbly personality, I would say I’m caring, love to learn, attentive, great listener, detailed, organized, love children and aspire to be a 1st grade teacher.

Booked by 4 families in Rancho Santa Fe, 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!

Hi! My name is Zahiya, I’m 25 years old, and I love working with children. I have experience caring for kids through my family and relatives, and I also worked as a babysitter for private families in Lebanon. I enjoy spending time with children, playing with them, helping with daily routines, and creating a safe, caring, and fun environment where they feel comfortable. I am patient, responsible, and dependable, and I always treat children with kindness and care. I speak both Arabic and English, which can be especially helpful for Arabic-speaking families or for parents who would like their children to learn or practice Arabic while being cared for. I look forward to supporting families and providing reliable, attentive childcare.

Zahiya, was professional, kind, punctual, and a great help during our busy work day.

"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)."
