With over 15 years of experience in childcare, nurturing children has been my lifelong calling, I discovered at just 15 years old and have never looked back. I bring a warm, attentive presence to every family I work with, creating environments where children feel safe, loved, and inspired to grow. Throughout my career I’ve built deep, lasting bonds with families, many of whom I’ve had the privilege of watching grow from the newborn stage into thriving kids. I take pride in being more than just a caregiver; I become a trusted, seamless part of the family. I come with glowing references from past families and am currently accepting new clients. Whether you’re looking for consistent full time or part time care or a reliable professional who understands the unique needs of your household, I’d love to connect

Hi! I’m Lesley. I’ve cared for children of different ages over the years and have been lucky to build relationships with several wonderful families, including families who have invited me back regularly. I really enjoy getting to know each child’s personality and helping them feel comfortable, happy, and safe while their parents are away. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I’m happy to follow the routines that work best for your family. Depending on your child’s interests, we might spend our time playing games, making crafts, reading, getting outside, or working on homework. I’m also comfortable helping with meals, bedtime, and other daily routines. Alongside babysitting, I’ve worked professionally in business and operations for several years. That experience has made me very organized, communicative, and comfortable handling unexpected situations calmly—but when I’m with children, my focus is always on making sure they feel cared for and have a good time. A little more about me: I love traveling, staying active, exploring Los Angeles, and spending time at home with my two cats. I’m an animal lover and am very comfortable in homes with cats or dogs. I know how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your children, and I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

Hello, my name is Sherrie. I recently graduated from Howard University and have returned home to Los Angeles, California. I’ve been babysitting since I was 16 years old and have a passion for working with children. I create a fun and safe environment for them while ensuring they adhere to their parents’ rules. I’m available mostly on Thursdays and Fridays, but if you request an interview early enough, I can adjust my schedule. If you’d like to schedule an interview, I’m available via Zoom. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you soon. P.S. I also have experience in pet sitting and household services.

She was great!

Hi! My name is Rosa, I am attending Cerritos College. I’ve been babysitting since I was 12 years old family members, close friends and relatives; different ages and even twins. . I also have my CPR/First Aid Pediatric for adults/children; I also have my certificate for child development. I’ve been a preschool teacher for 6 years already and I couldn’t be any happier with my dream job. I love teaching and watch them get excited of their accomplishments for example help with fine-motor skills,tracing,numbers, colors etc. I can help children and elderly; and also fur babies by going for a walk and play with him/her. I am going to start my full time job soon, but feel free for part times, occasional, if you really need me just send me a DM and we can work something out, don’t hesitate I am very open minded and we can definitely fine a way to work and help out with your kiddos, Seniors, and dogs.

Rosa was great with my two little ones! 2 under 2 is definitely a challenge and she handled them well! Would hire her again.

Hi ! I am a 25 year old sitter, with two years of experience caring for infants and 1 year caring for two toddlers and have occasionally cared for kids ranging from 4 - 11. I am CPR certified, have both a clean background check and clean driving record and I speak english and Spanish. I can be ocasional, part time or full time. I am young, energetic and love to be around kids! Their safety and happiness is always my number one priority but also making them feel comfortable and excited to be around me as I always want the kids to not dread having to leave their parents side and thinking of me as a scary stranger. My hope for every parent that meets me is that they can feel my good energy and trust that they are leaving their kids in the right hands and that I will take care of them as if they were my own blood.

"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)."
