Hi, I'm Isis Chanel! Caring for children is more than just a job for me—it's a calling. With 15+ years of experience in childcare, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a deep commitment to nurturing young minds. As an intuitive Reiki Master and Healer, I create a harmonious and balanced environment for the children I care for. I am First Aid, CPR, and AED certified, ensuring your child's safety at all times. I have worked with kids of all ages, from infants (0-3 months) to teenagers (16 years old). I love keeping children active and engaged through fun games, mindfulness practices, park outings, crafting, and nature adventures. I am also happy to drive them to school and various activities. I am very comfortable with and familiar with blended families, LGBTQ+ families, high-profile families, and two-household families where parents share custody. Your child's well-being and happiness are my top priorities, and I am dedicated to providing the best care possible.

Hi there! 👋🏼 I’m Mar. I’ve spent over a decade working with children in many different roles, including nannying, tutoring, sports coaching, and behavioral therapy. Over the years, I’ve been lucky to build long-term relationships with families through UrbanSitter, Care.com, referrals, and word of mouth. I have a degree in Psychology and previously worked as a Behavioral Interventionist, supporting children through floor play and ABA-based care. I’ve also worked with children with different developmental and behavioral needs, both here in the U.S. and while volunteering in El Salvador. I’m currently making a career transition and have returned to nannying, something I’ve always genuinely enjoyed. I love working with kids of all ages, and I try to bring more to the role than simply supervising. I enjoy getting to know each child’s personality, interests, and needs and creating an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, understood, and free to be themselves. I’m naturally very hands-on and enjoy everything from homework help and outdoor activities to creative projects, outings, and simply spending quality time together. I value trust, communication, consistency, and building a genuine connection with both children and their families. Feel free to reach out with any questions! My rates vary depending on your child’s needs, number of children, responsibilities, and schedule. I’d love to hear more about your family and what you’re looking for. 😊

“Mar was great! She was on time and both my kids liked her! She asked great questions, and did a great job taking care of both my girls. We would hire her again for another day. ”

In Elementary school they would allow the 4th-5th graders to spend their time off with another teacher as their assistant and that’s when I realized I loved spending time with younger kids. During that time I’d also volunteer as a sitter/helper at my local youth center after school or when needed. As I got older I was able to watch all ages either at the school, youth center, relatives and/or family friends. I have over 18 years of experience as a nanny, sitter, elderly caregiver, personal assistant, and house manager. My main goals are to make sure everyone is comfortable, safe, having fun, & parents can just enjoy themselves without worrying. -PLEASE MSG ME BEFORE BOOKING JOB- ✔️I'm looking for a family that is honest, has family values, and is financially stable. • A year of commitment. • A minimum of 25 guarantee weekly hours.   • As of right now I’m not caring for children under one years old. ✔️ • I’d be happy to assist in preparing/assembling meals for kids &/or family, baking, cleaning up (laundry, organizing, tiding up kitchen, rooms, toys), grocery shopping, driving children, and I’m pet-friendly. (I’m not a housekeeper but will keep household clean) • I have a Kia Sportage, driving record is clean no tickets or accidents. • Vaccines: Tdap 09/29/2024; Flu 03/13/2026; Covid 03/13/2026. • I don't partake in any kind of substances. • Depending on ages of children I’m comfortable with watching four-five children. ••Since December 2023, Ive been providing daily morning care to a sweet elderly woman w/dementia in Glendale.•• ~From past poor experiences I feel it’s best to make a contract so both parties have an understanding of what is to be expected as nanny and parent, it will entail compensation, schedule/hours, payment method, & duties/responsibilities. __ *For our first phone interview & meeting/sitting, I would feel much more comfortable with you booking me via US. It is a safety precaution* __ (1 child) $27/per hr (2 children) $27-$30/per hr (3-4 children) $30-$45/per hr (More than 4 children) $45-$55/per hr

“Samantha put my mind completely at ease leaving my kids with her. She’s capable, confident and so kind! My youngest is tough work and they had a great time, immediately was asking when Samantha could come back! Highly recommend!”

I am an efficient and enthusiastic Spanish-speaking babysitter who enjoys spending time with children. I have been a babysitter for over 3 years. Although, I practice as a Registered Nurse, I don't ever want to stop caring for children. I adore children.

“Excellent sitter. On time, friendly, professional and cool. She was able to connect with my kids immediately and they respected her as well. ”

I’m Briana, an experienced sitter for over 10 years. I cook, clean, and love to care for kids. From diapering to driving kids to their activities, I’m experienced with it all. When it comes to my style with care giving, I like to practice the just go with it method. Playing with kids, no matter their age, is a lot of improv. I enjoy forming connections with kids and supporting their natural preferences and curiosity, as long as they’re staying safe! I’ve recently been inspired by the RIE philosophy, studying and practicing it for 3 years. I enjoy nurturing each child’s curiosity, autonomy, and natural development. This means I create a calm and safe environment where kids can play at their own pace to naturally learn about the world around them, from infancy to childhood. I observe and respond thoughtfully to their cues as they explore and take it all in. I am the eldest grandchild in family, so taking care of little ones has always felt natural. During my 5 years living and studying in San Francisco, I worked extensively with kids whose ages ranged from 6months to 8 years old, often staying with one family for years as the children grew. I also had 5 months experience with an infant in Fontana. I love working with children of all ages and find it very easy to form relationships with those I care for. I enjoy singing, baking, playing outdoors and all things creative. I also teach yoga so I am always up to date with my CPR certification. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and fish if you need help with pets at home. I also maintain my own small greenhouse and know my way around a garden, if you ever need help tending to your plants. I am confident I can be a great fit for any family who communicates how I can make the experience best for their unique needs. I look forward to meeting you all!

“Briana was great- she brought coloring pages and connected with our daughter right away. She went above and beyond and checked on her after bedtime. We’ll definitely request her again! 😍 ”

"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."

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)."
