Hi! My name is Kayla, and I’m currently a law student at USC. I’m excited to spend my summer helping families with dependable, attentive, and engaging childcare. I’ve always loved working with children and have experience through tutoring, as well as growing up as 1 of 10 kids with many nieces and nephews. Being part of a big family has given me plenty of hands-on experience caring for children of different ages, and I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, positive, and fun environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves. Whether that means helping with homework, reading stories, getting creative with arts and crafts, exploring at the park, or doing mini science experiments, I love finding activities that keep children engaged and excited to learn. I’m responsible, organized, patient, and comfortable balancing busy schedules and high levels of responsibility. I’m happy to help wherever needed, whether that’s preparing simple meals, keeping routines on track, or lending an extra set of hands to make your family’s day run more smoothly. I also understand how important trust and communication are when it comes to childcare, and I strive to make both parents and children feel supported and at ease. I’m also very comfortable around pets! As the proud owner of a Saint Bernard and a Bernese Mountain Dog, I have plenty of experience caring for large dogs and would be happy to help in pet-friendly households (including homes with cats!). I would love the opportunity to connect with your family this summer and provide a caring, reliable presence for your children!

Kayla is absolutely wonderful! She is easygoing and thoughtful, and my son loved his time with her.

I hold a Master’s degree in Fundamental Medicine and Biology, with a strong background in pedagogy, psychology, philosophy, and developmental biology. Over the past 7+ years, I have worked with newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-age children, providing attentive, safe, and developmentally enriching care. Beyond childcare, I am also a professional family assistant and photographer, offering an extra layer of support and capturing precious family moments. I am passionate about creating meaningful, joyful experiences for children and families alike. I love spending time with kids, helping them grow, learn, and thrive in a nurturing environment.

Diana took such great care of our daughter and built trust with her so easily! Would absolutely hire her again when we are back in town.

Dear Parents, I am a former preschool teacher looking to make some extra money. I AM ONLY AVAILABLE TEMPORARILY. I can’t do a permanent gig right now. My graduate degree is in Primary Education and I have a valid Child Development Permit issued from California. Currently, I am free some days, most evenings and on weekends. I do have FBI clearance and I do have a parent you can call for a reference but basically my years of experience speak for itself. I look forward to hearing from you. Choose me if you want someone fun-loving and responsible. Current CPR and First Aid Training. Thank you Erica

Erica was excellent with my 3 year old! She watched him for 5.5 hours and he had a lot of fun with her : ) We’ll have you back Erica!

Hi, I'm Isis Chanel! Caring for children is more than just a job for me—it's a calling. With 15 years of experience in childcare, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a deep commitment to nurturing young minds. As an intuitive Reiki Master and Healer, I create a harmonious and balanced environment for the children I care for. I am First Aid, CPR, and AED certified, ensuring your child's safety at all times. I have worked with kids of all ages, from infants (0-3 months) to teenagers (16 years old). I love keeping children active and engaged through fun games, mindfulness practices, park outings, crafting, and nature adventures. I am also happy to drive them to school and various activities. I am very comfortable with and familiar with blended families, LGBTQ+ families, high-profile families, and two-household families where parents share custody. Your child's well-being and happiness are my top priorities, and I am dedicated to providing the best care 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."

"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)."
