Booked by 2 families in Forest Knolls, CA

Hello! My name is Griselda. Many call me Gris or Grizzy for short. I am offering afternoon and weekend childcare as well as care during school breaks(for example: winter, mid-winter, spring and summer break). I have been working with children from a young age and as I grew older, I turned my genuine love for children into a professional occupation. For the last three years, I have been working at a preschool, teaching children from the ages 2-5. Despite working with these ages, I am open to working with children of any age. I am CPR certified and have taken multiple Early Childhood Education courses at COM where I learned how to keep children safe, and how to develop a nurturing environment where they can thrive.

On time! Great with kids!

"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)."
