Hi there!! My name is Ray, and I’m an experienced nanny based in the Bay Area. I’m currently looking for full-time, part-time, or occasional babysitting opportunities. I’ve worked with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, and I genuinely love being around kids. Before moving to the U.S., I was an English teacher for children in Brazil, which taught me how to connect with kids through patience, creativity, and fun learning experiences. I’m CPR/First Aid certified, a confident and safe driver with a clean driving record, and I speak both English and Portuguese. Whether it’s playing outside, reading books, doing arts and crafts, going to the park, helping with homework, or simply keeping a good routine, I always try to create a fun, safe, and caring environment where children feel comfortable and happy. I’m also happy to help with meal prep, school pick-ups and drop-offs, children’s laundry, light housekeeping related to the kids, and anything else that helps make your family’s day run more smoothly. The families I’ve worked with would describe me as reliable, responsible, patient, and easy to communicate with. I have great references available, and I’d love the chance to get to know your family and see if we’d be a good fit!

My Bio I have over 5 years of childcare experience, a background in child development and behavior, and 2 years as an au pair. I have worked with multiple children and various age groups, allowing me to adapt quickly to different personalities and needs. I am known for being adaptable, easygoing, supportive, caring, and dedicated to my work, ensuring that children feel safe, loved, and engaged under my supervision. I am a good driver, ensuring that children are transported safely to and from school, activities, and appointments. I am well-versed in organization, meal preparation, and creating structured routines for children, including morning, afternoon, and nighttime routines. I excel in keeping children engaged through playtime, homework assistance, and various activities that promote their development.

We hired Kayla as a part time nanny. She has surpassed all of our expectations and we feel incredibly lucky to get to work with her. She is calm, confident, proactive, reliable and considerate. We couldn’t ask for a better nanny and trust her implicitly. Any family would be lucky to have her.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
