Booked by 9 families in Sylmar, CA

Hi! I’m Cielo, a caring and energetic nanny with over 15 years of experience working with children. I’m currently looking to connect with families who need occasional date night help or part time support. I truly love working with kids and believe in creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where they can thrive. I enjoy cooking healthy, kid-friendly meals and keeping little ones active and engaged, whether that’s through outdoor play, yoga (I’m a certified yoga teacher!), reading together, or board games. I’m comfortable around pets (I adore both dogs and cats) and always happy to help maintain a calm, positive household atmosphere. I especially enjoy working with children ages 4 and up who are curious, creative, and full of energy! If you’re looking for a reliable, compassionate, and mindful sitter who brings joy and structure to your child’s day, I’d love to connect with your family!

Cielo was amazing! My kiddos adored her. She was super sweet and kind, on time, helpful and communicated perfectly. I would recommend her to any family in need of a reliable sitter

Granada Hills
$22 per hour for 1 child

I am a credentialed teacher with several years of teaching experience, and I valued raising my son without daycare so much that I stayed home to be with him. My son has ADHD, and I helped him to get through all of his schooling. Now he is a PhD student in Medical Research! I enjoy working with children of all ages, and I take pride in caring for others in a respectful, meaningful way. I am creative and fun as well, and I feel comfortable communicating with families to make sure that everything goes well.

I have known Danielle for more than ten years. During that time, we both served as committee members for our local Scout Troop. I observed how she interacted with the Scouts and I admired her calm demeanor. Danielle always shows patience and care when working with children. I appreciate that she is always willing to lend a helping hand. She continues to volunteer her time and share her talents with various organizations in our community.

I am a dedicated caregiver with over 3-5 years of experience supporting seniors, children, and pets. My background includes early childhood ed, but my true strength lies in my patient, proactive personality. Whether I’m managing household tasks, assisting with mobility, or organizing educational activities for kids, I treat every family like my own. I’m also a great cook and a calm problem-solver in busy environments." Am also a. student not having many kiddos to babysit so decided to try this app to pay for my school expenses :)

She’s great!

"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."

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
