$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Fairfax, CA

Hello, my name is Chinwe, and I am a 23 year-old student currently attending College of Marin. From a young age, I have held a deep affection for children, which led me to embark on a journey as a babysitter and then later on nanny when I was just 13 years old. This experience has allowed me to develop a profound understanding of the needs and nuances of childcare. Over the years, I have learned to balance care, patience, and responsibility while ensuring a safe and nurturing environment for the children under my care. From maintaining a structured routine to facilitating creative and educational activities, I have taken on the crucial role of fostering both emotional and intellectual growth. My commitment to being a reliable and compassionate nanny is unwavering, and I take great pride in contributing positively to the lives of the children I have had the privilege to care for.

Hello! My name is Andie, and I am an experienced and passionate childcare worker born and raised in Marin! A little about me- I love learning about naturalism, health/nutrition, and social justice issues. Some of my favorite activities to do in my free time include hiking, photography, and art! As for my experience, I have worked in professional childcare settings (as well as pet care), including volunteering at a local preschool, babysitting, working with child theater camps, and most notably; working over 4 years at an afterschool program (children ages 4-10). Some of my responsibilities at this job involved supervising 50+ children at a time, preparing food, leading games/art activities, planning daily schedules, and most importantly- fostering an uplifting, empowering, and safe environment for all children involved! I absolutely love getting to see each child express their individual light. I have learned as much from them as they have from me, and that’s why I am so passionate about what I do. I am CPR and AED certified and have taken many safety/behavioral trainings, such as the CalSAC ‘Understanding the Behavior of Youth Training’ and The Redwoods ‘Child Sexual Abuse’ Training. I am also currently enrolled in Early Childhood Education classes at COM. I drive, as well as offer household services such as cleaning/organizing, food prep, running errands, and pet care.

"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)."
