$35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Santa Margarita, CA

Hi! My name is Constantina, and I’m currently looking for a part-time or full-time position caring for a senior. I have extensive experience working with older adults through nursing school and my clinical experiences. For the past five years, I’ve also worked part-time during school breaks and summers providing care for a senior. In addition, I have years of personal experience caring for and supporting my grandparents, which has given me a deep understanding of how important patience, compassion, and companionship are when caring for an older adult. Currently, I’m working with one family caring for a senior, and I would love the opportunity to support another family as well. I’m compassionate, patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with seniors. I understand how important it is for families to have someone they can trust to provide respectful, caring, and reliable support. I’m preparing to begin my RN nursing residency program and would love the opportunity to continue caring for seniors beforehand. I’m happy to help with companionship, meal preparation, errands, appointments, light housekeeping, daily routines, and other needs that may make day-to-day life easier and more comfortable. I’d love to learn more about your loved one and see if I might be a good fit for your family. Please feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to connect!

Natalie $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi I’m Natalie! I’m an eldest sibling, and have been caring for my 4 siblings since I was 10. This means I have experience with most ages: infants, toddlers, and middle aged children. I have also loved babysitting for friends and acquaintances. I’m perfectly capable of preparing meals, playing games, driving safely, and changing diapers. I have also completed the Red Cross Babysitting Course. I’ve not much experience caring for seniors, but I’m happy to learn and am great at carrying out instructions. I provide some household services, including cooking, cleaning, organizing, and running errands. I housesat for a neighbor for one week; during which time I fed their animals and adhered to their detailed plant watering schedule. I am not allergic to any pets. I did not grow up with pets (unless you count chickens) but I’m not generally bothered by them unless they are unfriendly.

Isaiah $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi - my name is Isaiah I am a responsible and dedicated caregiver with several years of hands-on experience caring for young children in a busy household. Over the past 2–5 years, I have helped care for my baby brother under one year old, my 7-year-old brother, and my 6-year-old nephew, along with assisting in the care of multiple dogs. This experience has taught me how to manage different ages, needs, and personalities all at once while staying patient and attentive. My responsibilities have included feeding, changing, and soothing an infant, as well as helping older children with daily routines, supervision, and activities. I’ve learned how to keep a safe and structured environment while still making time for fun and engagement. Balancing the needs of multiple children and pets has strengthened my ability to multitask, stay organized, and respond quickly in different situations.

"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)."
