Kendall 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Santa Clara, CA

Hello! My name is Kendall, and I have over 10 years of caregiving experience working with youth, seniors, individuals with special needs, and pets. I’m CPR-certified and offer a flexible schedule, with availability for last-minute requests. I recently returned to UrbanSitter after taking time away for family matters and am excited to connect with new families. I’m an animal lover who enjoys biking, longboarding, swimming, and football, and I can be a bit of a gaming and movie nerd at times. I like to stay youthful at heart while maintaining structure and consistency in the care I provide.

ā€œKendall was an outstanding babysitter! Our 5-year-old instantly warmed up to him, and they had a fantastic time together. Kendall was reliable, punctual, and incredibly engaging, making every moment fun and enjoyable. His connection with our child was evident through the games, and activities they shared. We felt completely at ease knowing our child was in such capable hands. We highly recommend Kendall to any parent looking for a dependable and caring babysitter!ā€

"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)."
