Hello! My name is Catherine (or Cat). I've babysat kids from 15 months to 12 years old. I genuinely enjoy being a positive impact in a child's life, helping them learn & grow, and providing a nurturing & safe environment for them. I'm very patient, playful, and promise to always give my full attention when looking after your little ones. On my background: I'm born & raised LA, grew up in the SF Valley. I've obtained a B.S. from Berkeley and studied/lived abroad in Paris (am French speaking). I'm a young professional passionate about the arts, sustainability, and Mother Nature.

Hello everyone! My name is Riza. I’m 24 years old. I’m the oldest daughter and child in my family. I’m a student from Kazakhstan, which is the 9th largest country in the world. Growing up, I always helped take care of my younger sister and brother. I also looked after my nieces and nephews when I was 16–18 years old. I have 3 years of bachelor’s studies in Education/Pedagogy. During my university years in Kazakhstan, I completed a teaching internship/practicum. I taught middle school students (6th–9th grade) for two years in a row, for about 2 months each year. I’m a creative person and I love photography and traveling. I’ve traveled a lot around the USA, and I recently moved to Los Angeles. I don’t smoke or drink, and I’ve never had any bad habits. I’ll be happy to get to know everyone!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
