Karol $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Karol, and I am a caring, responsible, and energetic bilingual nanny and babysitter. I speak English and Spanish and am currently studying Psychology, which helps me better understand children's development, emotions, and individual needs. I worked as an au pair for two years, caring for four children at the same time. This experience taught me how to manage busy routines, multitask, stay organized, and create a safe and positive environment. I currently continue working as a nanny and babysitter. I am active, patient, and cheerful. I enjoy planning arts and crafts, outdoor play, reading, games, and educational activities. I can prepare snacks and lunches, help with children's routines, and provide school pick-ups and drop-offs. I have reliable transportation and will always care for your children with patience, affection, attention, and respect. I would love the opportunity to meet your family!

Booked by 6 families in Thornton, CA

Hello! My name is Kaylani, and I’m currently in my second year at California State University, Sacramento (CSUS). I offer services in childcare, household assistance, and animal care. A little about me: I’m a very organized and responsible person who absolutely love animals. I have a wide range of experience caring for pets, as I currently have two French Bulldogs, a chinchilla, and two geckos. I’m currently working toward becoming a pediatric occupational therapist, as I have a strong passion for helping children learn and grow 🐾 I currently work at an elementary school with TK–Kindergarten students, which has given me valuable hands-on experience supporting young children in a classroom environment. Growing up as one of the eldest among my cousins, I also naturally took on babysitting responsibilities from a young age. My responsibilities have included school pick-ups and drop-offs, tutoring, crafts, games, and fun activities like Just Dance or Disney movie nights! I am also Red Cross CPR certified, so safety is always a priority ❤️ As someone who enjoys keeping spaces clean and organized, I’m happy to help with light cooking, cleaning, and household tasks as well.

"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)."
