Booked by 4 families in Alameda, CA

Hello, my name is Ginna , I’m 32 years old, and I live in Pacific Heights. I have over seven years of experience caring for babies and toddlers, including nanny share arrangements, and I’ve had the joy of working with several wonderful families across the Bay Area. I’d be happy to provide excellent references upon request. With kids, I love planning engaging activities—playgrounds, walks, libraries, museums, and play dates if possible! I’m very familiar with local spots like Lafayette Park, Alta Plaza, Broadway Park, and Moscone Park, where little ones can play, explore, and enjoy the outdoors. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can grow and learn. I enjoy helping families establish routines that are not only consistent but also fun and educational. Families usually describe me as punctual, communicative, easy to talk to, honest, and reliable, which helps build a smooth and positive relationship with both children and parents. I’m bilingual (English and Spanish) and can naturally incorporate Spanish into activities if parents would like. I also help with children’s laundry, cleaning bottles, tidying toys, light meal prep, and other small tasks that support the family routine. I am CPR and First Aid certified, hold a valid driver’s license, and always bring patience, warmth, and a positive attitude to the job. I’d love the opportunity to meet your little one and learn how I can support your family. Best regards, Ginna

Ginna was great with our 3 month old. Punctual, kind, and very experienced.

"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)."
