Devonia $29 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Hayward, CA

Hello! My name is Devonia, I’m a caring, reliable, and experienced nanny who truly enjoys working with children. I have lots of experience caring for kids of various ages, from infants to school-aged children. and I’m a dedicated, compassionate childcare provider with a professional background as a Registered Behavioral Therapist (RBT). I have hands-on experience supporting children with a wide range of developmental, behavioral, and emotional needs, including those on the autism spectrum. With 5 years of experience in both clinical and home settings, I bring a calm, patient, and structured approach to childcare. I’m trained in ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) techniques, and I use positive reinforcement, visual schedules, and other evidence-based strategies to help children thrive in their daily routines. I believe in creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. Whether it’s helping with homework, engaging in creative play, preparing healthy meals, or maintaining routines, I take pride in being a positive and helpful presence in the home. I’m certified in CPR/First Aid , have a clean background check, and excellent references from previous families I've worked with. I understand the importance of open communication with parents and always strive to meet each family's unique needs. I would love the opportunity to become a trusted part of your family's life and support your child’s development with patience, kindness, and care.

"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)."
