$22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 5 families in Sylmar, CA

Hello, my name is Gloria and I am a senior at CSUN. I have worked with kids as a teacher assistant, caregiver, and babysitter. As a babysitter, I have taken care of children from ages 6 months to 11 years of age. Every kid is different in their own unique way and that's why I decided to major in child and adolescent development. As an older sister with two younger brothers, I learned a lot about patience, love and joy, so I definitely believe incorporating my knowledge and personal experience into my work ethics helped me become a great babysitter and caregiver.

Khate $20 per hour for 1 child

Hey! My name is Khate. I'm 34 years old. I recently decided to go back to school and I’m currently studying to become an Occupational Therapy Assistant. I have years of experience babysitting and full-time nannying. I’ve seen many of the kids I’ve watch grow up to be such lovely little human beings. It’s always been in my nature to take care of people. I love working with kids and help them build confidence as they grow up. My hobbies are listening and playing musical instruments like piano and guitar, drawing, singing, basically everything that has to do with arts! I love getting crafty and creative. I like going on hikes and discovering new coffee shops. I also have a background in Filmmaking and Photography so I like to capture little, beautiful moments.

"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)."
