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!

My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even dance lessons. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own parents and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks.

I am loving, fun, caring, respectful, and bilingual Spanish and English. I attend school in Loyola Marymount University.

Claudia cared for our 3-year-old son at home between preschools, and she was wonderful. She was always punctual, communicative, dependable, and took initiative without being asked. She supported our son’s potty training, helped him work through big emotions with incredible patience, and spent time reading books, playing games, and keeping him engaged. Our son was going through a challenging phase with frequent tantrums, but Claudia remained calm, kind, and consistent. Her patience and determination helped her build a wonderful relationship with him over time. She also helped with tasks like folding laundry, organizing our son’s clothes, etc. We highly recommend Claudia to any family looking for a caring, reliable, and proactive caregiver.

Hi! I’m a UC STEM grad with 10 years of nanny experience. I’ve worked with kids of all ages and love creating a fun, supportive space where they can learn and grow. My background as an EMT, behaviorist, and tutor helps me bring both structure and creativity to each day. I’m happy to help with meals, homework, and routines, and I enjoy teaching music, coding, biking, skating, and swimming. Outside of childcare, I’m a dog parent and a living room musician. I love being outdoors and spend my free time hiking, surfing, playing basketball, motorcycling, sailing, and rock climbing.

Marie swooped in and saved us at the last minute. She came with big smiles and the kids had such a fun time with her. We can’t wait to see Marie again.

"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)."
