Booked by 9 families in Half Moon Bay, CA

Hello my name is Eunice. I have 9 years of experience in child care from ages 3months to 9 years old. I speak English and Spanish. Im also certified in CPR and Registered Behavior Technician so I can apply some procedures with autism kids. I'm very active, outgoing, caring and energetic person. Working with kids is my passion✨

“Eunice was a lifesaver, able to help us out quickly after another sitter fell through. She was so energetic and fun with our twins, I don't know how she was able to keep up her enthusiasm all day! Our kids are completely opposite personalities, but Eunice was able to adapt and engage both of them and get them both laughing. We are definitely hiring her 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."

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)."
