Hi! My name is Audrey, I'm a sophomore in college studying music and music production. I have 4 years of experience as a summer camp counselor with kids age 5-16. I grew up with dogs and have experience with dog training. I'm organized, punctual and willing to help out with kids, pets and household duties. I like the outdoors, cooking/baking, playing games, and music (I sing and play guitar)

Debora Los Angeles
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Debora and I offer experienced, reliable childcare and household support. I have been babysitting and nannying since I was 17 years old, starting out on Sittercity and Facebook, and later connecting with families through Care.com and Upkid. Over the years, I have worked with numerous families caring for children ranging from infancy up to 13 years of age. My responsibilities routinely include meal preparation, light housekeeping, transportation, and assisting with homework. In addition to private family care, I have experience working at the Boys & Girls Club, where I created engaging activity plans and supported kids with their daily schoolwork and creative projects. Lastly, I have also held the role of a teacher, where I’ve taught kids of all ages. I am passionate about creating a safe, fun, and structured environment for children and am happy to assist your family with flexible daily needs!

Brittany North Hollywood
$23 per hour for 1 child

I'm the oldest of my family including 40 first cousins. Kids were always around when I was growing up, and I always loved to take care of my cousins. I also grew up out in the woods with tons of dogs, pet chickens, and I learned to care for animals from a young age. As I got older, I became the main caretaker for my nephew who is 3 and the rest of my family is a bit jealous of how he gravitates towards me. I have never lost that childhood love of play, and I think that is what makes me an amazing caretaker, I know how to get on a level playing field with a kid and make even the hardest tasks fun and challenging. I'm calm and easy to be around kind of person, and that calm energy is grounding for kids and pets alike. I also am a very clean person and I like to keep my environment as tidy as possible.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
