I’m excited to be a part of this family, not only as I a nanny, I also have years of experience as a home manager and family assistant. I have a strong background in household management, time management, crisis control and the ability to adapt to any situation I really enjoy the unpredictable role of nanny/house manager. Through my years I have developed excellent organizational and multitasking skills, allowing me to effectively manage household operations, coordinate schedules, run errands and provide administrative and personal support whenever and wherever needed. I take pride in anticipating and planning for the unexpected while solving problems proactively and creating an organized, welcoming environment for your family. Raise in a home in what is now referred to as “Farm to Table” I enjoy using fresh produce, local if possible, in all my meals. Love for cooking became my hobby when our 5 children were small. All my meals can be adapted to dietary concerns and/or those fussy eaters. Based on your needs I could budget/plan, prep or have meals ready to just reheat when you arrive. Just let me know if your needs. Additionally, I worked in the local elementary, Junior High and Sierra College therefore any student concerns I’m sure I can address and have skills to adapt to most academic levels and disciplinary concerns. I also know ASL, a little rusty however with more practice I’m sure that skill will come back quickly. Time management is key and not only will the household tasks and errands be completed in a timely manner., I’m an old school mom, I craft, sew, iron and capable of most household fixes. Understanding the dread of walking into a home where there is a list of tasks and errands awaiting and children to feed, I welcome the opportunity to bring my dedication, strong work ethic and commitment to exceptional service to your family

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!
