Esiyah $27 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Esiyah , and I am a passionate, nurturing, and dependable caregiver with a well-rounded background in childcare, education, and family support services. I bring years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers, as well as providing companionship to seniors and loving care for family pets. Professionally, I’ve worked as both a Youth Program Coordinator and an Assistant Teacher at a Head Start program, where I worked closely with children ages 2-4 and 4-5. In these roles, I created engaging activities that supported their learning, social-emotional development, and creativity in a safe, loving environment. In addition to early childhood care, I also served as a Middle School Reading and Writing Teacher, where I had the privilege of helping students excel academically. I’m proud to share that 85% of my students passed their state testing under my instruction — a testament to my effective teaching strategies, excellent test-taking skills, and my ability to truly connect with students wherever they are in their educational journey. Beyond the classroom, I have helped raise and care for infants and or younger children within my own family, often providing overnight and daytime care while family members worked for severely months until the child reached an older age. During my college years, I started my own tutoring and babysitting service, offering support to single mothers and married couples in my community. The families I worked with consistently praised my commitment to their children’s growth, safety, and emotional well-being, as well as the genuine love I bring to every caregiving relationship. I am patient, creative, dependable, and passionate about creating nurturing, enriching environments where children feel valued and supported. I’m also very experienced in light household tasks, meal preparation, organizing schedules and routine, and pet care. I would be honored to bring my skills, heart, and experience into your home, supporting your family and helping your little ones thrive.

Myshalaya $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name’s Shalaya, and I’m an 18-year-old mom with a beautiful daughter of my own. I’m fun, caring, and super patient — especially with energetic kids! I currently work as a PCA, so I have experience helping others and making sure people are safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your child with someone, so I treat every kid like my own — with love, attention, and fun. I enjoy doing activities, playing games, going outside (when the weather’s nice), and keeping kids busy in a good way. I’m available during the day while my daughter’s in school (9am-3pm) and some evenings if needed. I’d love to help another parent out and make sure your child is in safe, positive hands! I DONT DRIVE !

Joanie $20 per hour for 1 child

My name is Joanie Merriman. People would describe me as kind, compassionate, loving, caring and lots of fun! I am very responsible with a high level of integrity. I love people, children, animals and nature above all things. My passions have led me to pursue caregiving, for both humans and animals, as a fulfilling path. As a youth, I went through a childcare program and began babysitting when I was just 12. When I was in my twenties I worked at the San Diego Opera. While there I acted as the in house nanny for all the opera singers that would come through. In addition, I was part time nanny to the General Director’s two boys for six years. I have tons of experience in childcare. Most recently, I’ve cared for my great-niece for the last year since she was just three weeks old. After the Opera, I moved to Los Angeles where I primarily worked in business administration while also doing childcare part time. Babies and children are a passion of mine. They bring me so much joy! I am very playful and attentive; children take to me naturally. In 2007 my big sister was diagnosed with brain cancer. In 2008 I stopped working to be her full time caregiver. I was her primary caregiver for ten years. Over this time, her illness took on many forms. She developed dementia that became so severe I was bathing, changing her diapers and feeding her. I also have cared for my brother who has traumatic brain injury for over fifteen years. He is now in a care home but I still serve as his primary outside of the facility. In addition, I have my 89 year old mother that I am privileged to be able to care for when she is in need of assistance. All of this to say, I am very experienced in the care of children and adults of all ages with both physical and intellectual/neurological disabilities. Since my sister’s passing, I have been self employed doing home organization and resale. However, this has not been fulfilling for me; not enriching of my life. My desire to do more meaningful work has led me to pursue caregiving professionally; that and the urgings of many who site how caring I am and how natural it is for me. Caring for children, adults and animals comes natural for me. I am excited about this move in my life. I look forward to meeting you and learning how I can help care for a loved one(s) in your life. I am certified in infant, child and adult CPR and advanced first aid.

"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)."
