Susan $35 per hour for 1 child

Hello. I have many years of experience as I have been a sitter on and off since I was in middle school. I have twin nieces who are 5 who I have been sitting since they were preemies, along with my nephew who is 2. I have two children, ages 18 and 11, which has also given me invaluable experience. I absolutely adore babies! I also love supporting young minds to learn and grow through play and constructive activities. I am kind, patient, and make any child who I spend time around feel heard, loved, and supported. I currently work a full-time government job. However, I would like to get back to what I love, which is being outside of an office and supporting/building community. Spending my days with a little one would not feel like work at all, and I greatly look forward to the opportunity! Thank you for your time.

Teya $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Teya, and I’ve been working with children 6 years. I’ve cared for children from infancy through age 12, including 3 years of experience working directly with children from infancy through age 4. I especially enjoy working with infants and toddlers and love creating a calm, engaging environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to explore. I enjoy reading books, singing songs, getting on the floor to play, spending time outside, and creating age-appropriate activities that support their development. I also like giving children opportunities to explore independently, practice new skills, and learn through hands-on activities and everyday routines. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and currently taking child development courses to continue growing as an early childhood professional. I’m experienced with diaper changes, bottle feeding, meal and snack prep, potty training support, nap routines, and caring for groups of children. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and communicative, and I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide loving, reliable care for your little one(s).

Marigo $22 per hour for 1 child

I’m a dependable, nurturing mom of two (an 18-year-old daughter and a 14-year-old son) with years of hands-on experience caring for children at different stages. I currently work full time, in Gardena, CA, but I’m excited to offer afternoon and evening care during the week after 2:30 PM. I also have a 5-year-old Malshi that I absolutely love and adore, so I’m very comfortable around pets and happy in homes with animals. I’ve volunteered for over 11 years with both the Ronald McDonald House and monthly outreach in Skid Row, which has shaped my patience, compassion, and ability to connect with people from all walks of life. I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every child with the same care and respect I give my own. CPR/FIRST AID/AED Instructor • Certified in Infant & Adult CPR • First Aid Certified •

"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."

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)."
