Hello Parents! My name is Lynette, and I have over 9+ years of childcare experience caring for children from infancy through preschool age. Throughout my career, I have worked as an au pair, daycare provider, private nanny, nanny-share nanny, sitter, ESL teacher, and tutor. I am warm, dependable, organized, and proactive, and I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, explore, and thrive. I enjoy planning age-appropriate activities, encouraging independence, spending time outdoors, and supporting each child’s unique developmental journey. For full-time roles, I thrive in positions where I can confidently manage a child’s day, maintain consistent routines, and create engaging, developmentally appropriate experiences. I especially enjoy long-term partnerships built on trust, communication, and collaboration. I am certified in: • Red Cross Adult, Child & Infant CPR, First Aid, and AED • Build My Brain Training • Poison Prevention and Safety in Child Care Programs • Abusive Head Trauma (Shaken Baby Syndrome) Prevention • Supporting Emotional Development in Infants and Toddlers • Establishing Positive Relationships with Families • Understanding Infant and Toddler Development I look forward to supporting your family and becoming a positive part of your child’s village.

Lynette helped with my 4.5 yo and within minutes of arriving in our home, she had my daughter showing her books and toys. I heard giggles, laughter, they tided together after play, had lunch. Most of all, Lynette proactively asked where she could help while my daughter had lunch!! We would welcome Lynette back with open arms!

ROTA Nanny | Private Household Specialist | 10+ Years Experience as a nanny Hi! I’m Bianca — I am a professional ROTA nanny with over 12 years of experience caring for children of all ages in private households. I specialize in rotational (ROTA) nanny positions and have extensive experience working in fully staffed homes, travel roles, and long-term private family placements. I bring a calm, nurturing, and reliable presence into every home, supporting children from newborn through school age. I am CPR & First Aid certified and have completed Newborn Care Specialist training. I love creating engaging, playful, and developmentally rich days — including story time, sensory play, outdoor activities, creative projects, and hands-on learning experiences. Families describe me as intuitive, patient, and easy to communicate with. I value strong teamwork with parents and helping create stable, peaceful routines where children feel safe, seen, and supported. At the moment I am not seeking part-time or traditional weekday roles. I’d love to connect with families looking for experienced ROTA nanny support.

Looking forward to working with Bianca again!

"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."

"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
