Rebecca Escondido
$25 per hour for 1 child

I am 25 years old and enjoy spending time out doors. On my free time I enjoy gardening, spending time with my loved ones and my animals. My services include caregiving and companionship. I also offer child care and animal care. My mother is a dementia specialist and very caring so I definitely take after her. I have 2 years worth of caregiving experience and 4 months worth of dementia care experience. As a caregiver I assisted with activities of daily living but I also focused on engaging activities such as music, exercise, crafts, games, and baking. I love being around children, they remind me to enjoy the simple things in life. I have experience with children ranging from the ages of 6 months to 11 years old. I helped my friend who owned a day care when needed but I have also worked at LA fitness in the kids Club. In that position I over looked a small group of children all different ages. I made sure everyone was safe and had fun playing with them. I am always the family member that is available to help babysit my cousins, nieces and nephews. I have 9 chickens and a rescued cat at home. I love all types of animals and can’t wait to meet your furry, feathery, or slimy family member.

We have been lucky to have booked Amanda as a babysitter on several occasions. Amanda is a wonderful caregiver and the children always have an amazing time when she visits. Amanda is thoughtful, patient, kind and always punctual. She also manages to get the children to tidy up after a long day of playing which is an added bonus! I highly recommend Amanda to any family in need of a reliable babysitter.

"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)."
