Booked by 5 families in Van Nuys, CA

Hello, my name is Gloria and I am a senior at CSUN. I have worked with kids as a teacher assistant, caregiver, and babysitter. As a babysitter, I have taken care of children from ages 6 months to 11 years of age. Every kid is different in their own unique way and that's why I decided to major in child and adolescent development. As an older sister with two younger brothers, I learned a lot about patience, love and joy, so I definitely believe incorporating my knowledge and personal experience into my work ethics helped me become a great babysitter and caregiver.

Hi - My name is Brittany I've been a nanny for 12 years and I'm bilingual in Spanish and English. I've also been a teacher in a Montessori preschool from ages 2-6 years old. I was enrolled for two years at Santa Monica City College, and LACC took 4 child development classes and have 12 units in child development. I’ve always been drawn to working with and learning about development of children of all ages. I started by watching my 3 younger siblings and then moved on to babysitting children family friends and now I've been a nanny for many families. The Montessori preschool has allowed me to better understand children, increase my ability to engage and play with children, and manage anywhere from 1-18 children at once. I am very enthusiastic, playful, can remain calm in stressful situations, and as compassionate as can be. If it’s nice out, I love to go for walks, visit a local park, or play in your backyard! If the day requires us to stay inside I enjoy playing games of all sorts and doing arts and crafts. I also have a clean driving record and can take the child to storytimes, museums, farmers markets, or other activities as long as I'm provided with a car seat and parents are comfortable with me taking their child to places. I love to keep and open and honest communication with parents and when I'm out with their child I like to keep a group chat with parents to share pictures and videos to involve parents in what we are doing. Please let me know if you have any questions and I can’t wait to meet your family! I have great references and if needed message me and I can message you back with all the references I have, CPR certification and resume. I also have a clean background check and motor vehicle check.

"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)."
