Valerie $35 per hour for 1 child

I am currently studying child and adolescent development and I have over 3 years of experience working with children professionally. My favorite thing about working with kids is the mutual learning that occurs! I love to find ways to connect through activities based on a child’s interest, whether it be baking, arts and crafts, enjoying nature or physical activity, i love to be involved! I think kids deserve to be heard, and to make decisions for themselves with guided options to choose from. I think freedom of expression and identity is incredibly essential to a young child or adolescence development and I am a number one fan of children taking the lead, and showing us how to show up better to suit their needs and talents as well! Important things to note: -I am allergic to pets, both cats and dogs so cannot work inside of homes with animals -I do not have a car but I have a drivers license and a sparkling clean driving record, and still drive often! -I am CPR and first aid certified -I am a full time student studying sociology and child and adolescent development and completing a social work and human services certification

Booked by 2 families in Canyon, CA

Hi! My name is Caroll. I’m 34 years old and originally from Brazil. I’ve been living in the U.S. for 5 years, and during this time I’ve had the privilege of working as a nanny for different families, lovingly caring for children from newborns all the way up to 10 years old. I hold a Postpartum Doula certification from the Doulas Institute, which has strengthened my knowledge and ability to support families with newborns in their most delicate and special stage. I’m passionate about childhood and love encouraging kids’ creativity through play, hands-on activities, and lots of imagination always prioritizing screen-free time. I also have experience caring for siblings and multiple children of different ages at once, and I’m happy to help with organizing toys, clothes, and daily routines. I’m fully vaccinated, CPR and First Aid certified for infants, children, and adults, have a valid California driver’s license, and my own car. I speak Portuguese, English, and Spanish, and I’m excited to meet a new family to grow with and build a beautiful connection! 🤍

"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)."
