Hi families! My name is Colin, I’m 32, and I currently work as a CareDriver with HopSkipDrive, where I safely transport school-aged children to and from school. Safety, patience, reliability, and strong communication with parents are a big part of my everyday routine, and I bring that same calm, dependable energy into childcare. Over the past year, I’ve worked closely with toddlers and young children through recurring babysitting and nanny-style roles with local families. I currently care for two children part-time who have built a very strong bond with me, and one of my favorite parts of childcare is creating an environment where kids feel comfortable, supported, and genuinely excited to spend time together. I naturally connect well with imaginative, expressive kids who enjoy creative play, reading, crafts, outdoor activities, music, pretend play, building toys, and conversation. I’m very patient and attentive, and I focus on helping children feel emotionally safe while still maintaining structure, routines, and positive boundaries. I have experience with bedtime / bathing routines, meals, potty-training stages, sibling dynamics, emotional regulation, and high-energy personalities. I’ve also worked with children through the Joan Kroc Center as a youth group leader and provided piano tutoring for children ages 4-10, which helped me develop strong communication, encouragement, and relationship-building skills with kids across different age groups. Families I work with know me as calm, dependable, engaging, and very present with children rather than distracted or passive. I genuinely value building long-term trust with both kids and parents, and I’m always focused on creating a safe, positive, low-stress experience for everyone involved. Credentials: · CPR / First Aid certified (infant, child, choking) · Fingerprint background check · Home Care Aide (HCA) certified · TB test cleared · Aerospace Engineering degree (SDSU) · Clean driving record through HopSkipDrive's extensive safety screening If you’re looking for someone calm, responsible, and genuinely invested in your child’s well-being, I would love the opportunity to help your family. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

Thanks to Colin, my daughter and I truly had a fantastic memory during my business trip to La Jolla where he was taking care of my daughter while I was at a conference. Colin is kind, fun, patient and was genuinely engaged with my six year old daughter Emilia. He came fully prepared and worked out an entire program for her. He brought a handmade diary to record daily activities together and a tool kit with toys and books for entertainment. Colin truly stands out as someone reliable, punctual and approachable. He communicated needs and expectations clearly upfront and was very thoughtful about making this an enjoyable experience for my daughter. She truly enjoyed spending time with Colin and I trusted him completely, especially coming from out of town. I would not hesitate to recommend him to any family looking for a dependable and caring sitter, whether at home or while traveling.

"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."

"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)."
