Carolini $28 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! My name is Carolini, and I’m a 28-year-old experienced nanny with over six years of childcare experience. I’ve worked with children of all ages, but my greatest experience and passion are with infants and toddlers. I recently moved from Georgia to Hermosa Beach, CA, and I’m now looking for my next wonderful family to support and grow with. In my most recent long-term position, I cared for a sweet little one from the age of 3 months until they turned 3 years old. Over those years, we built such a special bond as they became like family to me. I only left the position due to relocating to Los Angeles to support my husband’s new job opportunity. I speak three languages and hold a degree in Business Administration with professional development in Marketing. Although my background is in business, childcare has always been my true passion. There’s nothing more rewarding to me than helping children learn, grow, and explore the world around them in a safe and loving environment. I’m known for being extremely reliable, responsible, and nurturing, but also a child at heart! I believe that open and honest communication with parents is the key to a strong and trusting relationship. I have excellent references (as many as your heart desires!) and would love the opportunity to bring my experience, energy, and care to your family.

"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)."
