Booked by 1 family in Sylmar, CA

I have gained a lot of experience working with different types of children over the years. With various ages and backgrounds I have found that I love creating safe and comfortable environments for kids thrive and feel nurtured. I babysat all my younger cousins and friends of the family and kids in my neighborhood. I worked as an educator during my last year of high school at an after school program around various different schools in the school district. And throughly enjoyed working there. I have excellent communication skills that allow to me to cultivate a relationship with your child and allow open conversation between me and your child. I'm responsible and can adapt to any situation or new environment and will approach any task with as much enthusiasm and dedication as necessary.

Sochi babysat for us while we were out for a show. She played with the kids, fed them dinner, and handled the whole nighttime routine very well. She was also accommodating when we had a change in schedule. I would definitely recommend her!

$25 per hour for 1 child

I love working with children in one-on-one or small-group settings because it allows me to build meaningful connections and support each child's unique needs and personality. I have been a nanny and babysitter for various families since my undergraduate years (about 9 years) and have spent the past four years as a full-time elementary school teacher. I hold a Master's degree in Education and a bilingual authorization in Spanish from UCLA. My experience has equipped me to provide a safe and engaging environment while supporting children's academic, social, and emotional development. I take pride in being a trusted source of support for families and creating positive, enriching experiences for the children in my care.

"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)."
