Hi my name is Debb!! and I am 28 years old with a true passion for caregiving and supporting families. I find it deeply rewarding to be a helping hand to those who need it most, and I view every opportunity as a way to put my skills, compassion, and dedication into practice. I am a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) with a current BLS certification and over 8 years of hands-on experience working with patients. My goal is always to build trust with all family members, ensuring they feel cared for, respected, and valued. I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and cautious in following caregiver protocols, while also being quick to learn new procedures. Flexibility is one of my strengths, and I am available to step in as needed and adapt to changing schedules. In addition to my healthcare background, I also have experience as a babysitter and youth mentor!. I’ve worked with children in church worship groups, served as a chaperone on field trips, and created safe, nurturing environments where children feel supported and engaged. I am patient, loving, and a great listener, always striving to meet both the needs of parents and children. With my combined experience as a caregiver, Cna , and babysitter, I believe I would be an excellent fit for your family’s needs. My mission is not only to provide quality care but also to be a trusted friend who ensures your loved ones feel safe, supported, and cared for at all times. I also love animals! And have cats and dogs of my own so I know how important they are to the family. I can also help out with pet needs as well I also have my own car and can drive your kids to anywhere they need to be taken. I am a responsible driver and have experience of driving around people to where they need to be. I do it all the time. Rest assured I am a careful driver.

Booked by 2 families in San Jose, CA

I’m a kind-hearted and easygoing childcare provider who truly enjoys spending time with kids. With 3–5 years of experience, I bring warmth, patience, and a positive attitude to every family I work with. I’m flexible and happy to help with anything — whether it’s playtime, meals, or just being a calm and loving presence. Your children will always be in good hands with me

Hajar was wonderful! This was our second time working with her, and we were so impressed that she remembered all of our specific preferences from the first session. She is very gentle and friendly with our baby, and we love that she is proactive—she immediately looked for household chores to tackle while the baby was sleeping without being asked. She is also extremely punctual and always arrives a few minutes early. For fellow parents, it’s worth noting that Hajar is currently working on her English, but she can handle basic conversation without any problems. For more detailed instructions, we used Google Translate and everything worked out perfectly for us. Our family truly enjoys having her help. Highly recommended!

Booked by 2 families in San Jose, CA

Hi - My name is Khin. I am offering child care, senior care and household services. I love being babysitter, driving to/from school, and helping homework tutoring. I also work as household assistant, can cook, clean, folding clothes and run errands. I have been caretaker for my own grand parents and comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to the appointment or do other tasks. Kindly reach me[removed].

Khin was so responsive, and got back to us right away when we reached out for last-minute emergency babysitting services for our toddler, who was too sick to send to daycare. She was detail-oriented, punctual, and kept our toddler entertained and happy.

"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)."
