Could not recommend Han Na more! She's clearly a pro: she was communicative, punctual, caring, and amazing with our toddler daughter from the minute she walked in. She sent us text messages with check-ins about how our daughter was doing, which was so reassuring while we were away at a wedding. So grateful we got to work with her.

Hello! My name is Julia. I am an experienced nanny and babysitter always looking to help families with their childcare needs from infants through teenagers. EDUCATION: Bachelor’s degree in Musical Theatre with a Concentration in Dance, 2018 GPA: 3.8 EXPERIENCE: I’ve supported families with everything from school pickups in my own car, homework help, and activity transportation to meal preparation, household organization, and creating engaging, age-appropriate activities. Known for my reliability, patience, and ability to connect with kids of all ages, I strive to create a safe, supportive, and fun environment where children can thrive. Alongside childcare, I work as a film producer, which has strengthened my organization, communication, problem-solving, and leadership skills—qualities I bring to every family I work with.

Julia was an absolute star!! She had the energy of 10 people and my 4 year old and 7 month old absolutely adored her. I heard laughter in our house nonstop from the moment she arrived. A very special person!

"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
