I am a former preschool teacher and a current nanny with a lot of experience working with young children and all the requirements(CPR and First Aid, TRUSTLINE). I have a degree in Social and Behavioral Sciences. My educational background as preschool teacher is in Infant/Toddler Development which helps me understand how children grow and what to expect at what age. Plus, I am native French speaking (but fluent in English) if you are looking to give your child a bi-lingual education. I also have a car and a clean driving record. I live in Oakland. And last but certainly not least, I absolutely adore children, they keep me young... at heart! That's about all about me. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi, my name is Blanca. I’m 29 years old I was born and raised in the Bay Area. I recently graduated from school for Medical Assistant, Phlebotomy, & EKG Technician. I previously worked for the city of Oakland & City of Piedmont parks and recreation department which I had been working for the past 8 years where I assisted students from ages 4-13 from Pre-K to middle school all year round. I organize arts and crafts activities providing enrichment classes for them to teaching them how to cook to play outdoor and indoor sports and mentor and tutor them in all their school needs for homework. I have experience within childcare for about 10 years. I speak fluent Spanish! I'm open to all ages to babysit. If it’s nice out, I like to take the kids outside, but if not, I'll bring out my origami skills or arts and crafts. In my free time, I love taking hikes reading and cooking. I'm willing to take care of household duties and run errands if needed. I hope you are able to consider me - looking forward to hearing from you soon, and to be your future babysitter/nanny or mother’s helper.

"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)."
