Hi! My name is Bella, and I graduated from San Diego State University with a Bachelor’s degree in Education. I have always had a passion for caring for others and making a positive difference in people’s lives. As the oldest of seven siblings, caring for others has always been a natural part of who I am. Growing up, I helped care for my younger brothers and sisters, which taught me patience, responsibility, and compassion from a young age. I’m also a proud mom of two children. Motherhood has strengthened my patience, empathy, and ability to stay calm and attentive in all kinds of situations. Caring for my own children has deepened my understanding of the importance of creating a safe, loving, and supportive environment. I also had the privilege of caring for my grandmother, who lived with diabetes and dementia. That experience taught me the importance of providing not only physical assistance but also companionship, understanding, and dignity. I know how meaningful it is for families to have someone they can trust to care for their loved one with kindness and respect. Whether it’s helping with daily activities, preparing meals, light housekeeping, running errands, transportation to appointments, medication reminders, or simply being there to listen and provide companionship, I strive to create a safe, comfortable, and positive environment. I treat every person I care for as if they were a member of my own family. I would be honored to care for your loved one and provide the same compassion, patience, and respect that I would give to my own family. Thank you for considering me, and I look forward to the opportunity to support you and your loved one

She was beautiful and did a great job for my twins.

Hello! I'm Cassandra, a dedicated and caring babysitter with over 6 years of experience working with children of all ages from infants to young teens. I have extensive experience caring for infants and toddlers, ensuring they are safe, happy, and well-attended to. I’ve had the pleasure of working with both individual children and groups, creating safe, engaging, and fun environments whether it’s one-on-one care or managing multiple children at once. Additionally, I have a background in working with children with special needs, offering compassionate support tailored to each child’s individual needs. A significant portion of my experience comes from working with families involved in Al-Anon, a support group for those impacted by someone else's alcohol use. This has given me a deeper understanding of the unique dynamics and challenges these families face, allowing me to provide empathetic and supportive care with a focus on their emotional and practical needs. In addition to my babysitting experience, I’ve volunteered with the Best Day Foundation, teaching children how to surf and helping them learn to boogie board. This experience has further developed my ability to care for kids with disabilities in a meaningful way while encouraging their new skills and confidence. I take pride in creating a nurturing, fun, and educational environment while giving parents peace of mind. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning activities, or providing the extra care some children need, I’m here to make sure your little ones are well cared for. I look forward to meeting your family and helping make your life a little easier!

Cassandra is simply amazing! She is so sweet and down to earth. Our kids really enjoy having her over. She plays games with them and really engages in good conversations with them. We will definitely be having her back.

Hi! My name is ileen , and I’ve been caring for children since I was 10 years old. I have experience with kids ranging from 3 months to 12 years old, and I’ve always had a natural connection with them. I’ve spent years babysitting for family and friends, and I’ve often been told I have a motherly presence — even mistaken for the child's mom more than once! Kids feel safe, seen, and supported with me. I’m playful, patient, and always attentive to their needs while creating a fun and structured environment. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, or calming down tantrums, I’m fully present and committed to their well-being. If you're looking for someone who will care for your child with genuine love, calm energy, and lots of experience — I’d love to help!

Amazing babysitter. My kids adore her, they gave her a cute little nickname. Great with kids. Recommend.

"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)."
