Booked by 3 families in San Juan Capistrano, CA

I am a Pre-school teacher with over 10yrs experience and have worked with all ages from infants (certified NCS) to pre-teens. I have over 33 units of early childhood education and have taught in different settings including Montessori, IB ( international Baccalaureate) and also learning through play curriculum. I have also been a nanny and sitter over the years ranging from infants to teens. My philosophy is helping the children feel safe and happy to express them selves through curiosity. I love what I do and enjoy being with children and having fun with them as they learn about the beautiful world around them. I also tutor the little ones, light house keeping and meal prep is not a problem. I can work over the holidays as well and one family commitment with a reasonable rate adjustment. Looking forward to hearing from you!

“We felt so comfortable having Mrs Dalilah spend all day with our toddler. She is an incredibly warm & engaging person who is a natural with children. Our toddler who is normally shy with new people loved her. We are so thrilled to have her on our short list of date night sitters! ”

Elyse $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Elyse and I have nearly 10 years of experience in early childhood care. I have worked with children from infancy through age 13, including neurodivergent children, and held an au pair position abroad for 11 months. I am kind, patient, and energetic, and I enjoy getting to know the children and families I work with to build meaningful & lasting relationships. I believe these strong connections help create a supportive and nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. Additionally, I love animals, being outside (hiking, surfing, biking, etc.), and spending time with loved ones. If you are looking for some help with your little ones or pets, please feel free to reach out! Best, Elyse

I'm a warm, fun-loving, and enthusiastic nanny with over 10 years of experience caring for children from newborns (including preemies) through school age. Ive had the privilege of working with multiple families, which has given me a deep understanding of child development, patience, compassion and the importance of creating a safe nurturing environment. As the oldest of three, caring for others has always come naturally to me. I truly love all aspects of childcare -- from hands-on playtime and mealtimes to outdoor adventures and supporting them through age appropriate milestones. I strive to create a positive, engaging and loving experience for every child in my care. Im happy to provide references upon request and am also very comfortable with family pets.

My background includes lifelong, hands-on caregiving experience. I started babysitting at age 13 and helped raise my younger siblings, who are now teenagers. Through this, I’ve developed a unique relationship with kids—they feel safe with me, and also find me fun and engaging. I’m playful, know how to make kids laugh, and keep them entertained, while also providing structure, support, and emotional safety. I recently lived with my 2- and 4-year-old nieces, so I’m very comfortable with toddlers, routines, and day-to-day childcare needs. I’m patient, attentive, and naturally nurturing, and children tend to connect with me easily. I also have strong experience with pets and household support. I have a 2-year-old mini dachshund who is the center of attention. Overall, I’m dependable, warm, and genuinely enjoy caring for children, pets, and families, creating an environment where everyone feels supported and safe. I also value communication.

"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)."
