Hello, I am a 3rd year college student at UC Berkeley. I love to cook and be outdoors. I am the oldest sibling so I always been a sitter to my younger siblings. I do have 3 years of experience of sitting full-time for three families. I worked with the ages of 8 months, 3 year olds, 7 year olds and 10 year olds. My responsibilities were potty training, homework helping and cooking. I am very patient and love to read to the kids. I am happy to provide my caretaking services to your family!

Maggie has an excellent way with children. My baby Violet warmed to her immediately, she helped her take her bottle and settle down for a nap. I referred Maggie to two friends with toddler and school aged children who were similarly thrilled at her talent and gentleness in caring for children.

Vaccinated & boosted! Experienced, professional, silly, loving! Most recent background check June 2026 Red Cross Infant/Child/IAdult CPR & First Aid Certification 6/2025 Parents have called me "baby whisperer" and "Maya Poppins"; a three-year-old called me "booty butt"! I can handle anything! It is my great pride to share my resourcefulness and experience; I ask for help and clarification gladly.  I've worked with children from ages 2w to 18y through the site and also seniors. From KG teacher and early childhood curriculum developer, teacher trainer and university lecturer, I've worked extensively in education. After most of a decade abroad and a wild pandemic, I just finished my doctorate in education (March 2023!). I love working with children and appreciate having a flexible schedule. With little ones, I'm silly and creative (and love to share my published children's book!). I understand tears and have the patience to soothe and work with the frustration, exhaustion, or confusion behind them. For parents, I'm super tidy, reliable, a great communicator, and have a CA driver's license! I have lived and worked all over the world and have a social justice mindset that informs my life and work. Also available for high-end tutoring, development evaluations (ages 2-6), middle/upper grade social services, and personal assistant services at other rates. 

Maya is a wonderful caregiver! Our daughter had a great time with her. She is kind, playful, easy to be around and talk to. We highly recommend her!

Hey there! I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) childcare professional originally from Colombia, with over 5 years of experience working with families and schools in the Bay Area. Able to travel during the summer — June and July I currently work as a Bilingual Paraprofessional in Special Education and am a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) at a high school, supporting students with diverse learning and behavioral needs. My background has given me a strong foundation in child development, emotional regulation, routines, and positive behavior support — always with patience, warmth, and structure. I’ve worked with multiple children at the same time, from 4 months to 16 years old, both as a nanny/sitter and in educational settings. Families often describe me as calm, creative, responsible, and adventurous, with an easy and natural way of connecting with kids. I love being an active caregiver: crafts, tutoring, outdoor play, storytelling, building forts, drawing, cooking/baking lessons, and other hands on activities, reducing screen time. I’m currently available for occasional babysitting, and especially interested in travel nanny opportunities during summer and school breaks. Credentials & Experience Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) Bilingual Paraprofessional – Special Education Paraeducator Certification – Teacher College of San Joaquin No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Compliance for Instructional Support – Fremont Unified School District 5+ years working with families across the Bay Area Experience supporting children with special needs and diverse learning styles I’m comfortable with pets, happy to help with school drop-offs/pick-ups, light household support, errands, and meal prep. I can also share excellent references and always bring a calm, trustworthy presence into any home. I have been a caretaker for my own grandparents and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. (I am also a great bridge partner!) I'm animal lover, in my country, I had two dogs and one cat, sometimes I take care of my friend's dog. Thank you. Looking forward to connecting with your family!

Daniela did a wonderful job at taking our toddler to the playground to play. We would definitely hire her again. Thank you!

"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)."
