Hi! Im Frances (or Frankie), and I’m a dependable and friendly babysitter who loves working with kids of all ages. I’m currently studying Early Childhood Development at ECC, and through that, I’m passionate about helping children grow, learn, and feel safe in a nurturing, supportive environment. Through my coursework, I’ve gained a strong understanding of child development, age-appropriate activities, and positive behavior guidance! I love creating attention supportive, creative experiences for kids, whether that’s arts and crafts, reading together (my favorite!!) outdoor play, or fun learning activities tailored to their age and interests. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive, and I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident and comfortable leaving their little ones in great hands! My goal is always to provide a safe, supportive, and fun environment where children feel heard, valued, and happy. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on creating a safe and positive environment. I follow routines carefully, communicate clearly with parents, and enjoy helping kids feel supported, happy and comfortable. I’d love to help support your family in any way I can!!

“Frankie was fantastic! She is polite, punctual, and organized. She was also great with the kids and jumped right in to play with them and engage them. They had a blast with her.”

Hi my names Isabella and l’m a college student at LAHC with the goal of becoming an oncologist! I’m offering childcare, pet care, house services, tutoring, and driving services. I have experience caring for infants to pre-teens. I have been helping family and friends since I was 14, and I love doing it. I am available to assist with tutoring, meal preparation, transportation (to/from school,practice,etc), laundry, activities, and different crafts, such as painting, gardening, karaoke, neighborhood walks, and movie watching. I’m also comfortable working with pet friendly households. I have my own vehicle which is family friendly and will provide a safe transportation for loved ones, and any groceries etc. It is a 2024 ford bronco. Clean driving record. Smoke free. References available.

“Wonderful babysitter experience We hired Isabella, a fantastic babysitter, for our six-year-old, and it was a breeze from start to finish. She arrived on time, was warm and engaging with our son, and quickly built a rapport with him. He came home excited to tell us about the time they spent together. What stood out: Safety and reliability: punctual, communicative, and trustworthy. Shared adventures: they went to Chuck E. Cheese together, where Isabella played games with him. Personal touches: she played his favorite music in the car. Attentiveness: she was very attentive throughout the evening. Communication: gave a full report of everything they did together. Positive, encouraging attitude: our son felt seen, valued, and genuinely happy. Our son can’t wait to hang out with her again, and we will definitely be asking Isabella to watch my son again. Highly recommended!”

"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)."
