Booked by 1 family in South Gate, CA

Hi families! My name is Marlen Gonzalez, and I’m a 21 year old senior at the University of Southern California (USC), double majoring in Legal Studies and Spanish. I enjoy cooking, baking, painting, hiking and learning new things! I’ve been caring for kids of all ages—from newborns to pre-teens—for 7+ years, and I truly love working with children. I’m looking to help part-time or one-time depending on your needs and I’m flexible. Beyond babysitting, I have experience tutoring and mentoring elementary and middle school students in South LA through USC programs. I’ve also had experience as a summer camp counselor for 3rd-5th graders. I enjoy spending time with children and engaging them with crafts, reading, and outdoor play. I’ve taken early childhood development courses and understand the patience, safety, and trust required in childcare. Parents can count on me to be reliable, caring, and attentive. I’m also happy to help with cleaning around the house and homework if needed. I would not be able to drive children anywhere however I am happy to watch over them either at your home or my own home. Lastly, I am bilingual and fully fluent in English and Spanish. I’d love to connect and see if I’m a good fit for your family! Thank you!

Marlen has been such a tremendous help. She is timely and responsible. We have excellent communication throughout the day and she updates me when necessary, which I really appreciate. Her creativity shines, and our kids absolutely adore her for that! My husband's schedule is hectic, and she always does her best to accommodate us. She has been the biggest blessing to our family this year. I highly recommend her for your babysitting needs!

"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."

"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
