Booked by 1 family in Sierra Madre, CA

Hands-on experience caring for children, as a dedicated parent, which gives me deep empathy, patience, and understanding of children’s needs and routines. Patient and nurturing: I know how to meet people where they are—especially helpful for seniors or children who need extra time or support. Reliable and responsible: I show up consistently and take pride in doing work right. Service-minded and communicative: I genuinely care about others and know how to connect with them, whether it's a child needing reassurance or a senior needing companionship. Detail-oriented: I keep track of routines, medications, schedules, or special instructions without missing a beat.

Reliable, safe choice for help :)

Booked by 3 families in Sierra Madre, CA

Hello my name is Destiny! I'm a nursing student and Registered Behavior Technician with over five years of childcare experience. I've cared for children of all ages, from newborns to school-age kids. I love keeping little ones engaged through play, reading, arts and crafts, and outdoor activities. With older kids, I enjoy helping with homework and just being someone they feel comfortable around. I have professional experience in ABA therapy and caregiving, and I've studied Child Development and Developmental Psychology in college. I'm naturally patient, calm, and interactive. It's important to me that every child I care for feels safe and valued. I'm CPR/BLS certified, bilingual in English and Spanish, and currently learning ASL. I have my own car and can help with driving, errands, and special needs care. I'm comfortable with pets in the home. I'd love the opportunity to work with your family!

Destiny was great! She was able to bond with our 15 month boy very quickly, and also helped with a little house work when he was napping.

Booked by 2 families in Sierra Madre, CA

Hello! My name is Emily, and I am a caring, dependable, and energetic childcare professional with over 3 years of experience working with children of all ages, including infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. As a preschool teacher, I have developed strong skills in creating safe, nurturing, and engaging environments where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. I am passionate about helping children reach developmental milestones through play-based learning, creative activities, outdoor exploration, reading, and positive encouragement. My classroom experience has taught me patience, organization, communication, and the ability to manage routines while meeting each child’s individual needs. Families describe me as trustworthy, responsible, and easy to communicate with. I understand the importance of building strong relationships with both children and parents, and I strive to provide reliable care that gives families peace of mind. In addition to childcare, I am happy to assist with homework help, school pick-ups and drop-offs, meal preparation, light housekeeping related to the children, and pet care. I love creating fun, meaningful experiences that help children feel confident, happy, and cared for. I am currently seeking a position where I can become a positive, supportive part of a family’s daily life.

Emily was reliable and let me know every step taken. Was on time and oh so so sweet. My son's therapist who was there as well told me Emily was a great sitter! I'm giving her 5 HUGE stars! Thank you so much for your help. :D

"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)."
