Luz $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Luz , and I recently moved to California from Florida. I’m a proud mom and grandmother, and caring for children has always been one of my greatest joys. With many years of hands-on experience caring for infants, toddlers, and kids of all ages, I bring a warm, loving, and patient energy into every home I work in. Families describe me as thoughtful, caring, and very organized. I enjoy reading to little ones, keeping them entertained, and making sure they always feel safe and loved. I also keep a tidy, clean home environment and am happy to help with light household tasks. I’m flexible and have no problem staying overnight if needed. While I don’t speak English, I communicate well in Spanish and create a welcoming, nurturing environment for the children in my care. I’d be honored to support your family and treat your children with the same love and attention I give my own.

Theresa $20 per hour for 1 child

I have been babysitting since high school and worked as a nanny after graduating, gaining several years of hands-on experience caring for children of different ages. I studied vocal performance at Berklee College of Music before transferring home during the pandemic and completing my degree in Theatre at the University of New Mexico. My background in the arts allows me to bring creativity, patience, and a strong sense of play to childcare. I love engaging kids through imaginative play, storytelling, music, and creative activities. Whether I’m helping with homework, encouraging creativity, or teaching a child a simple song on the piano, I strive to create a supportive and fun environment where children feel confident and cared for. I am conversational in French and currently studying Spanish, and I enjoy incorporating language and music into activities when appropriate. I have a current drivers license.

"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)."
