Hi. I have been Teaching Preschool ( Head Teacher) for 20 years. My passion has been teaching 2-3 year olds for most of my career. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology ( Graduated 2004),and have over the years also worked as an Early Intervention Teacher (Special Education )in a Preschool setting. I am creative, organized, highly motivated and very passionate about the children under my care. My strengths has been building trusting and deep relationships with families and their children,making sure families and their children are all seen and heard. I am a strong advocate for play based learning,and strongly support children’s Social/Emotional Development through play. I highly enjoy teaching about the importance of playing outside,and I come with 20 years of experience of developing an age appropriate curriculum combining play and learning inside the classroom as well as outside the classroom. I am fun to be around,and I love singing and storytelling,and creating fun and engaging Sensory Experiences. I truly love teaching,and I feel blessed to have touched and supported so many families and their children over the years,just as much they have touched my heart. Teaching has truly helped shape the person I am today. Patient,caring,calm,passionate,understanding and kind are some of those qualities I have taken with me along the journey.

“we are very fortunate to work with Siv. She brought over her extensive experience from being a teacher and bonded so well with my little one. She paid great attention to details and really took good care of my little one. Definitely looking forward to working with her again.”

Hi! I’m Nelly — a 23-year-old CSU East Bay alum currently working toward getting into a Physical Therapy program. I’m super active and run both track and cross country, so I love bringing fun, positive energy into everything I do! Right now, I work at Chabot College as an Adaptive Physical Activity Instructor, where I support and work closely with individuals of all abilities. I also work in the nursery at my church caring for children ages 1–4, and I absolutely love working with babies and helping them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m really passionate about working with kids and hope to pursue a career in collegiate coaching someday. I already have 4+ years of experience coaching youth and enjoy creating a fun, supportive, and safe environment where kids can be active, build confidence, and just have a good time. Whether it’s playing outside, doing crafts, helping with routines, or keeping little ones entertained, I always try to make sure kids feel happy and cared for while parents feel at ease too!

“Our kiddo is not used to new people. Nelly did an amazing job taking her time with him and letting him warm up to her. By the time we got home, he kept asking for her to come back and play. Will definitely be hiring her again. Regular communication helped us feel comfortable going out for a bit.”

"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)."
