Hi ! My name is Elizabeth (or Liz), and I’m a 20 year-old college student currently seeking babysitting opportunities to help support myself while pursuing my education. I’m CPR certified, fully vaccinated, and currently taking medical courses as I work toward a career in healthcare. I have over 4 years of paid experience caring for infants, toddlers, and children of all ages. I’m available for regular babysitting, as well as date nights and late-night care (I’m comfortable staying up past 12am anytime if needed). If you have any questions or would like to set up a time to chat or meet, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you so much for your time and consideration 😊

Elizabeth was awesome with our one and three year olds! Playing, dinner time, reading books, and putting the kids down - she was great and we would happily recommend to anyone!

I am an experienced nanny, baby sitter and caregiver, having worked in the industry intensely for about fifteen years. I have been sitting children, however, since I a teenager. I am a fun-loving sitter who really puts her heart into her work. I've had many clients for the fifteen year period, and we have become like family to one another. I have a grown daughter whom I've raised to a successful adulthood. I have excellent references, a clean driving record and can easily pass a background check. I have my own vehicle and car insurance and can drive clients to various appointments, pick up from school, or take on outings. I was a Girl Scout for nine years. I was a lifeguard in high school, certified Red Cross. I have saved a few lives, a drowning victim - a 6-year old boy when I was a teenager; and, most recently, a grandmother who was choking to death at a valley restaurant. I have taken art for ten years, and love doing arts and crafts. I consider myself to be an excellent cook. I sing in church choir. I am great with pets, too. I am a freelance book editor in my spare time, and use the sitting money to supplement my income. I have been a book editor for about twenty years, mainly working on education materials and text books. I have a college degree.

Molly was caring and patient with my two girls.

I would love to discuss your care needs with you.. My name is Billie-Jean. I am a younger widow with an empty house. I am a mamma with my boys across the country, I’m a grandmother with lots of love and attention to give. I have excellent references and a current & clean background check. I have a very flexible and open schedule. Im happy to come early in the morning or stay late into the night. I happily come to your location. I am more of a personal assistant than just a babysitter. I try to help out wherever I can. I’ve been in hibernation since the pandemic began (for safety). I’m excited to meet a family that could use my help. While your child is spending time with me it would not be as if your child was spending time with a sitter it would be more like your child was hanging out with grandma. I am fully vaccinated. Pre-pandemic, I had helped a Chino Hills family for 9 years. Along with 30 years of experience helping various families at various times. This father was a solo parent, with an extremely high demanding job. I was somewhat more of a household manager. I just knew what needed to be done and took care of it His needs s changed, they relocated out of state. Please contact me if you would like to discuss your household needs further. Please keep safe and healthy.

The kids had a great time! She even helped pick up the toys. Would definitely hire 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."

"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)."
