Hi! My name is Erin. I am 39 years old. I have 4 children and 2 dogs. I have been working with babies, children and families since I was 15 years old. Professionally I have been a nanny, house manager and a caretaker for last 20 years + (along with a few other business’ I started- I owned a cloth diaper service, lactation cookie company, meal prep service etc). I currently work in the Tahoe area as well as the Bay Area (San Francisco, Napa, Walnut Creek, Mill valley). I have worked with several families short and long term ranging from newborn preemie twins starting at 2 weeks old and up! I have experience being a night nanny with single babies and twins. I have a passion for healthy cooking and very knowledgeable on different styles of eating. I enjoy working with families that can benefit from meal prep, a healthy dinner and/or starting your day off with a healthy smoothie! Or maybe a cheese board or soup when you arrive home after a long day on the slopes! I am happy to grocery shop and run errands (with or without your kiddos). Even for the occasional date night positions, I’d be happy to prep a breakfast for the next morning while the kids sleep! I went to school for nutrition/health coaching, as well as EMT school. I am medically knowledgeable and confident handling emergency and medical situations. I am comfortable working with children with special needs as well as mental health conditions. While I was living in Los Angeles I went to school to be a midwifery assistant and worked in a birth center for a short time as an assistant and post partumn doula. In my free time I enjoy being outside, camping, paddle boarding, biking, cooking, swimming, basically anything outdoors. When I come to your home or hotel I bring age appropriate games, crafts, and activities! When I work regularly with families, have a long day and/or a lot of kids at once, I like to create a lesson plan for the day with structure and fun, which will usually include physical activity and a craft/cooking/science project, lots of reading, etc. I look forward to working with your family!

Hi! I'm Sarah, a registered nurse with extensive experience in childcare, babysitting, and nannying. I am currently accepting new families with newborns through 6 months of age. I currently work as a Med/Surg nurse and have experience in oncology, pediatrics, and some in NICU/neonatal care. Before becoming a nurse, I was an EMT and have been CPR certified since I was 12. During my time as an EMT, I worked with Girl Scouts at Skylark Ranch, where I received training and multiple childcare certifications as the health supervisor and assistant camp director. I also have experience taking care of children and adults as Ski Patrol and as a ski/snowboard instructor at several Truckee area resorts. I am AASI level 1 certified and have worked as a ski/snowboard-nanny. I am currently looking for a family with a newborn or young infant, ages 0-6 months. Potentially older as they continue to grow. I have experience with twins and multiples. I love animals, am drug-free, a non-smoker, have a reliable 4x4 vehicle, clean driving record, and background check. I am willing to adapt and learn the specific way your family does things. I would like to be consistent with your baby's routine, feeding schedule, sleep training, etc. I am also open to travel and have experience as a family vacation nanny. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thank you!

"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)."
