Booked by 3 families in Hayward, CA

Dear Family, I hope you are doing well. My name is Samantha, and I am reaching out to express my interest in providing care and support for your family. I have experience working with infants and children from 6 months up to the age of 12. I am CPR and First Aid certified and comfortable caring for up to two children at a time. For the past 4 years, I’ve had the joy of caring for children of different ages. Work history includes 2 years of nanny experience, and 2 years of Au pair. My most recent experience, I cared for a family of 2 and came in when the first child was 6 months old and the youngest was 14 months when I left. For Au pairing, I came in when the youngest child was 4yrs old and the oldest was 12. These positions have given me valuable experience caring for children and adapting to their daily routines and needs. I am an easy going, patient, friendly, and confident person. An effective communicator and believe in communication is key. I pride myself in communicating with family in-person, via text or phone call to ensure clear understanding of household rules and a safe, structured, loving environment. With my experience, I will bring an unforgettable support to your lovely family by providing reliable, attentive care while fostering your children’s emotional, social, and developmental growth. Thank you for your time and consideration. I will love the opportunity to discuss how I can support your family and look forward to hearing from you. Warm regards, Samantha.

"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)."
