Booked by 1 family in Elk Grove, CA

I am a caring, responsible, and trustworthy nanny with experience caring for children from infancy to 10 years old. For two years, I worked as an au pair, where I learned to establish safe routines, support children's development, and provide attentive care with patience and affection. I enjoy spending quality time with children, helping them with their daily activities, and creating an environment where they feel happy, safe, and loved.

Booked by 1 family in Elk Grove, CA

Hi my name is Yasmeen I'm very patient, reliable, trustworthy and energetic. I always try to make life easier for parents however | can. I love building genuine connections with children while also helping families keep routines smooth and stress free. I have experience with infants, toddlers and school aged kids, and I'm comfortable caring for multiple children at once. I enjoy keeping kids engaged with crafts, games, educational activities, outdoor play, movies, bedtime routines, homework help and fun creative activities that match their personalities and interests. I also don't mind helping with light housekeeping such as dishes, laundry, tidying up, organizing, meal/ snack prep, errands or pet care if needed.Communication is very important to me, so I always keep parents updated and make sure their expectations are met. Families often describe me as kind, dependable, nurturing, and easy to communicate with. I'm CPR/First Aid certified and always prioritize safety while still making sure kids have fun and feel supported. I would love the opportunity to become someone your family can truly rely on long term

She was reliable, attentive, and wonderful with the kids. She was caring, and made sure the kids were safe and comfortable. I would definitely recommend her and would gladly book her again.

Crystal $26 per hour for 1 child

For over 15 years, I've dedicated myself to nurturing children's growth and development, driven by a passion for making a positive impact on their lives and supporting families. I do my best to balance good manners, kindness, and age appropriate life skills. I am patient, creative, friendly and warm. My sole mission is to focus on the children to make sure they are happy, cared for and feel loved. I believe that open communication and collaboration with parents are a strong foundation for a thriving nanny/family relationship. While I am comfortable for caring for up to three children of any age group, I prefer to focus on one or two children at a time. I have many years of hands on experience, with multiple long term families, and am very familiar with growth milestones, sleep and potty training, baby led weaning, etc. I am First Aid and CPR Trained, and TrustLine certified. I have worked for a premier nanny agency in Fresno for the past 9 years and have excellent references and letters of recommendation upon request. My role as a nanny has morphed multiple times over the years. I have mostly started with families with infants and have stayed on while they transition to toddlers and then school age. I'm always happy to help with meal prep, carpooling, and going on fun excursions with the kiddos while cultivating a safe, nurturing and fun environment. I really enjoy being outdoors and weaving in educational facts as I myself enjoy nature, gardening and camping. I try to encourage exploration of topics like reading (I am a voracious reader), gardening, international cultures ( I am half Hispanic and can speak a smidge of Spanish), cuisine and different genres of music. I believe that children should be immersed in the world they live in and see the magic that can be had if we just take the time to observe. Due to relocating to Sacramento mid-December, I am sad to leave my current nanny family. I have been with them for about 7 years. The children are currently 8 and soon to be 5. I am hoping to find full time employment with hopes of a long term arrangement. Please feel free to message me with any questions and I look forward to finding my new nanny family!

"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)."
