Cleo $27 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Cleo, and I’m a professional with a background in skincare and early childhood education. I grew up in Los Angeles, a city I love to explore, and I currently work independently in the skincare world. A few years ago, I embraced a unique opportunity to teach young children at a private school in Hollywood, a rewarding experience that inspired me to seek more personalized interactions with families alongside my career in skincare. I have extensive experience caring for children aged 1-13 and come from an artistic background, which I incorporate into my approach when working with kids. Over the years, I’ve nannied for various families, assisting with school pickups, preparing meals, engaging in creative play, and helping with homework. I aim to provide parents with a sense of comfort and peace, knowing their children are in safe, caring hands. I prioritize health and safety, especially regarding COVID-19.

"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
