$28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Colfax, CA

Hi my name is Alexandra, I have a great passion for working with children and have dedicated the past few years to their care and development. For two years, I worked in Newcastle as an Extended Day Instructor for the CARE program. Currently, I work in Lincoln, where I care for children from TK to 5th grade in another CARE program. Additionally, I work as a Health Clerk, handling medical emergencies and assisting students who come to my office for medical attention. Spending time with children, playing, and engaging in activities they enjoy is something I truly love. My goal is always to create an environment where they feel valued and cared for. My commitment to fostering a nurturing and dynamic learning environment allows me to connect with each child and support their unique journey of growth and discovery. In my role as an Instructional Aide for the CARE program, I also plan and implement engaging activities for students and serve snacks. If you'd like to check my references, please contact me. I can give you the numbers of families I've worked with before.

“I highly recommend Alexandra as a babysitter! I have two very active 4-year-olds, and she always knows how to keep them entertained and happy. She's incredibly patient and creative, constantly coming up with fun games and activities that capture their attention. Plus, she's really loving and attentive, always ensuring they're safe and well cared for. My kids absolutely adore her and get so excited when she comes over! I trust her completely with my little ones. She's reliable, responsible, and has a natural talent for working with kids.”

"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."

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)."
