Natalia $32 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Atherton, CA

Hi! My name is Natalia, and I’m a caring, responsible, and reliable nanny with over 2.5 years of childcare experience. I have experience caring for children of different ages, from infants and toddlers to school age children, and I truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and loving environment for them. I previously worked as an Au Pair in the Bay Area, where I cared for three children and became very comfortable managing daily routines, school drop-offs and pick-ups, activities, meals, homework, playtime, and keeping the children’s spaces organized. I have also worked as a nanny and babysitter for different families, including caring for babies and toddlers. My responsibilities have included preparing meals and snacks, diaper changes, nap routines, taking children to parks, libraries, classes and activities, doing arts and crafts, reading, playing, and helping with their daily schedules. I’m someone who is patient, attentive, and proactive. I love keeping children engaged with age-appropriate activities while also giving them the structure and consistency they need. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks related to the children, such as tidying play areas, doing children’s laundry, preparing their meals, and keeping things organized.

"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."

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)."
