Isabelle Valley Center
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Isabelle, and I have over 3 years of hands-on experience caring for children ranging from toddlers to 12 years old. I’ve babysat regularly, volunteered in the nursery at my church, and helped lead multiple children’s camps where I worked with kids of all ages and abilities—including those with disabilities. I truly love working with children and strive to create a safe, nurturing environment that supports their growth and learning. I’m patient, dependable, and always happy to engage in creative and educational activities, or a fun day outside. I’m CPR certified and trained to respond calmly and effectively in emergencies. I also believe that strong communication with parents is key. I’m committed to following your lead when it comes to routines, rules, and parenting style—and I’ll keep you informed and updated every step of the way. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and be a positive part of your child’s development!

Hello my name is Dottie. I have many years of experience in the medical field. I have been a Nanny for families and truly loved it. I have been caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, school age also. My skills would include taking them to activities, meals, snacks, take/ pickup from school and activities after school sports, tumbling, swimming and more. One of my families I took their son's to Speech therapy weekly. I love to cook and have prepped meals for the family. Doing errands occasionally for the family. I would bring outdoor play, swimming, crafts, playing in the sand, bike riding, baking/ easy cooking skills to learn and more. Some of my clients have pets to be cared for daily. I have had many years caring for Seniors in the past 8-9 years. I'm available occasionally on weekends or over night so the parents have sometime alone. I would need notice to check my schedule, it's very possible. I have house sat, and cared for cats & dogs in the home. I love to teach small children to learn ABC's, and more for school as they grow and mature in fun ways. Learning can be fun. I do have reference letters, certificates for some of my occupations. Current CPR/first aid and all vaccines. With infants, newborns they will be diaper changed every 2-3 hr. as needed. Bottle feed when hungry, change clothing as needed when soiled, read stories, play.

I have worked as a Caregiver/Med Technician for seniors/memory care for 5+ years and loved it. I also have done private care for multiple clients and Nannied for a year. I have 3 younger siblings that I’ve cared for my whole life, and I was a childcare attendant for a year and a half for infants-8 year olds. I lived in China for 2 years, and while I was there I spent my time working with children of all ages, teaching them english, lots of activities, and worked alongside children with autism and terminal illnesses. I grew up assisting in the nursery-5th grade at churches 1-3x per week. I’ve babysat kids from all ages, newborn to young teens. I love the gym, time outside, old movies, and Jesus! I would be more than happy to answer any questions you have and I look forward to hearing from you!

Booked by 1 family in Valley Center, CA

Growing up in a Mexican household, caring for younger siblings and cousins was a natural part of daily life and became a core responsibility for me from an early age. With a 10-year age gap between my siblings and me, I gained hands-on experience caring for both my brother and sister as infants. This early exposure to caregiving sparked a deep passion for helping others, which led me to pursue a nursing degree. Professionally, I’ve worked as a caregiver at Brookdale Senior Living for the past year and a half. And am currently in nursing school. In that time, I’ve developed a strong foundation in the technical skills of caregiving, but more importantly, I’ve learned the value of patience. Caring for older adults has shown me that, much like with children, compassion, understanding, and emotional support are just as essential as physical care. I believe my greatest strengths as a caregiver are my sense of responsibility, reliability, and the empathy I bring to each interaction. I take pride in creating a supportive and respectful environment for those I care for, always aiming to make them feel safe, seen, and valued.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
