Hi families! I'm Isa, a bilingual (English-Spanish) nanny with several years of experience caring for children of all ages and also pets. I’m warm, responsible, and patient, and I truly love supporting families and building meaningful connections with the little ones I care for. I always aim to create a safe, respectful, and joyful environment. As a current au pair living in Sacramento, I’m available for occasional evening or weekend babysitting, and I’m open to live-in nanny positions after my program ends. I'm a college graduate with a strong sense of structure, and I enjoy encouraging creativity, reading, and outdoor activities. I’m also comfortable following household routines, handling bedtime, meals, and light chores. Parents often appreciate how communicative and reliable I am — I always keep you updated, and your children’s well-being is my top priority. If you're looking for a loving and dependable sitter (or future full-time nanny), I’d love to connect!

I love engaging kids in sports and active play, and I’m just as happy cooking healthy meals as I am helping with homework or story time. Families know me as reliable, loving, and committed to creating a safe, fun environment for children to grow.

Hi there! I love working in childcare, it's always been a dream job for me. I've been babysitting since I was 12 and a nanny for over 10 years. I have worked with all ages and have great references. I've worked through child action, Urban sitter, Bambino, Facebook and for family and friends. I've grown up watching my cousins , little brother, and nieces and nephews. I've taken 9 units of early childhood education and plan on going back to school to finish and get my certification. I'm cpr/first aid / aed certified. I'm responsible, hard working, caring and trusting. I look forward to meeting you and your family :)

Brandi was great. Our son had a great time with her. We will definitely book her more in the future!
