Booked by 2 families in San Ysidro, CA

I started working with children when I was 15 as a gymnastics coach for preschool. After that I continued to work with kids, including being a live in nanny, a behavior technician for children on the spectrum and babysitting for different families. I have worked with ages from newborn to middle school. I am very punctual and trustworthy and get along with kids great.

“Very professional. This was a small job, but she was committed and had great communication. ”

Samantha $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Samantha, and I’m currently a Public Health major at San Diego State University with plans to become a nurse. I am CPR/BLS certified and truly enjoy caring for and being around children. During the week I work part-time at Javier’s in La Jolla, so I’m looking to help families on my days off. I would describe myself as kind, patient, responsible, clean, attentive, and trustworthy. I understand how important it is to find someone you feel completely comfortable leaving your child with, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and caring environment while giving parents peace of mind. I’m more than happy to answer any questions, provide references, or do whatever I can to help you feel confident and comfortable trusting me with your little ones that you love!

"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)."
