Hello! My name is Nathalie and I’m a recent college graduate from California State, Dominguez Hills (December 2025) with a Bachelor's of Science in Child Development along with a concentration in Early Development and Learning. I’m currently a substitute teacher a few times a week and nannying several times a week. I plan to study for my teaching credential this Fall. I have previously worked as a private nanny, afterschool program teacher, and a behavioral therapist. I'm determined to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment. I’m proficient in active supervision, adapting to new environments, engaging in play and leading activities to avoid screen-time use. I'm patient, nurturing, empathetic, thoughtful, responsible, and passionate about creating a safe space to ensure a positive experience for you and your child.

👋 Hi there!! My name is Alejandra and I’ve provided nanny services to families for 10+ years (including HP families) I have been taking care of newborns, toddlers and older kids as well (I can provide references) and kids with special needs. Throughout my experiences of watching/raising children, I’ve driven them to/from school, took them to private classes, played with them and made sure that they are happy, healthy, and safe always! Assisted with night routine, provided cooking for the kids and help with the family if needed. I’m CPR and First Aid certified. I speak Spanish and English, I can speak some Portuguese and Italian as well. I’ve been taking some courses (because I always like to learn new things and I find them helpful) including: Nutrition and cooking for kids, Foundation of Positive Psychology Specialization, Everyday Parenting. I love to do outdoor activities and workout in my free time, reading, traveling and watch movies! I also have experience watching dogs, including walking, feeding, playtime, and potty time. I absolutely love both kids and animals and would love to be able to work with your family!

Alejandra has been wonderful with our 2-year-old son, who quickly grew fond of her and loves playing with her. She is punctual, communicates well, and is warm, patient, and attentive with him. We’ve felt very comfortable having her care for him and would happily recommend her.

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.

"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)."
