Hello, I'm a college graduate from UCLA with a degree in marine biology. I am now completely abandoning that and pursuing a career in television production, as many in Los Angeles do. I went to high school at Notre Dame Academy all girls catholic school in West LA. I have been watching children for over 12 years and before that took care of my younger sister. I am CPR certified, love playing games, singing, and would be honored to sit for you. Thank you in advance! I take venmo, and my rates go up for travel over 10 miles, depending on the length of the commute, and for holidays. My cancellation policy is within 24 hours, after that inquiring a 50% fee of the original time requested.

Molly was great! She accepted my last minute booking and was patient and kind with my cranky toddler.

Hi families ! I'm Natalia, I’m from Colombia, and I wanted to introduce myself and share a bit about my experience. I have over 10 years of solid, hands on experience working with children in different environments. I spent a full year as an Au Pair in Calabasas, where I was fully responsible for the kids’ daily routines school drop-offs and pick-ups, activities, homework, meals, and overall structure at home. That role required a high level of trust, organization, and consistency, and it’s been a big part of shaping the way I work with families. Even to this day, I’m still very close with the family I lived with, which I think says a lot about the relationship we built. Before that, I worked as a gymnastics coach with kids of different ages, where I learned how to manage groups, keep kids engaged, and create a fun but structured environment. I’ve also worked in a hospital setting with children, including those with special needs, which gave me a deeper level of patience, awareness, and ability to adapt to each child’s specific needs. Alongside all of this, I’ve consistently babysat over the years, working with different families and age groups. I also volunteer constantly at church with the kids groups. I’m very confident handling routines, multiple children, and creating a safe, positive environment while still being proactive and supportive to both kids and parents. ✅CAR ✅CPR ✅ BILINGUAL (ENGLISH-SPANISH) ✅GREAT WITH DOGS / PETS ✅NON-SMOKER ✅VACCINATED ✅ SOLID REFERENCES

I needed a last-minute sitter, and Natalia provided excellent care for our 13-month-old. She took him to the park, fed him, and played with him throughout the visit.

I am an experienced nanny, baby sitter and caregiver, having worked in the industry intensely for about fifteen years. I have been sitting children, however, since I a teenager. I am a fun-loving sitter who really puts her heart into her work. I've had many clients for the fifteen year period, and we have become like family to one another. I have a grown daughter whom I've raised to a successful adulthood. I have excellent references, a clean driving record and can easily pass a background check. I have my own vehicle and car insurance and can drive clients to various appointments, pick up from school, or take on outings. I was a Girl Scout for nine years. I was a lifeguard in high school, certified Red Cross. I have saved a few lives, a drowning victim - a 6-year old boy when I was a teenager; and, most recently, a grandmother who was choking to death at a valley restaurant. I have taken art for ten years, and love doing arts and crafts. I consider myself to be an excellent cook. I sing in church choir. I am great with pets, too. I am a freelance book editor in my spare time, and use the sitting money to supplement my income. I have been a book editor for about twenty years, mainly working on education materials and text books. I have a college degree.

Molly was caring and patient with my two girls.

"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)."
