A little bit about me… My name is Chandler . I absolutely love children of all ages. I work at Kindercare in Carlsbad during the weekdays as a preschool teacher. I am busy during the week but I am available on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.I also have years of experience working as a nanny. I am a fully qualified teacher and have received all of my college level credit childhood education credits. I am also a very creative person. I have also taken many college level art studio classes, so I enjoy doing fun and creative indoor/outdoor activities with children. Children bring me so much joy and I would love to bring what I have learned in my child development college classes and implement it into my job as a nanny. I am also cpr/first aid certified.

Booked by 4 families in Carlsbad, CA

Some background information about me is I have worked with children for over five years at a youth volleyball club and growing up with younger cousins and a little sister, I've developed a strong sense of responsibility and patience, essential traits for being a great babysitter. My experience with kids has helped me learn how to engage them in fun, safe activities while ensuring their well-being. As a junior at Cal State San Marcos studying graphic design, I also bring creativity and a calm, problem-solving mindset to the table, which allows me to adapt to any situation. Outside of my academic and babysitting roles, I enjoy playing volleyball, going to the beach, and traveling—hobbies that keep me active and connected with others. These experiences have not only shaped my ability to care for children but also nurtured a sense of adventure and creativity that I can share with them.

Interview went great! I’m looking forward to scheduling a babysitting evening.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
