Hi my name is Juana, I've been working with kids for 20+ years. I enjoy seeing children development physically and emotionally. I love to take kids to walks or to the park. I like cooking and I don't mind light cleaning. I have an ECE associate from SRJC, and I’m working on getting my ECE certificate. I would provide local references after we meet up in person and decide we are a good fit. Cancellation policy: because babysitting it's my main source of income I require 50% of the booking if you need to cancel a booking with 24 hours. 100% of the booking if you cancel with 12 hours notice. I require a minimum of 4 hour per booking. Also I require to get paid the time I get booked even if you come home earlier. Because I have full time nanny job and I’m protecting my regular nanny kids, I do not take care of children if they are sick with a fever over 102, or any contagious virus. Thank you for understanding. Also my rates will change if kids are from different families. -Thanks for reading.

We hired Juana to look after our 7mo old son. She was a natural from the moment she walked in our home, providing us with great comfort along with a safe and happy environment for our son. After we provided a quick overview of his routine, Juana helped right away. It’s clear she loves caring for children, and making sure the time she spends with them is quality time. Whether it be reading books, walks outside, playtime or speaking in Spanish, Juana had our son’s best interest at heart. We will be using Juana again and highly recommend her to other parents.

Hi! Thank you for the opportunity to apply, here’s a little about me: I am a recent graduate with a degree in liberal arts - behavioral and social sciences and am in the process of pursuing my second degree. In my free time, I enjoy painting and hiking! I also have over five years paid experience caring for infants, children ages 4-13 and for multiple children at a time (two-four). I am proficient in tasks such as preparing/feeding meals, nap time routine, pick up and drop off to and from school/activities, and establishing fun activities to keep child(ren) engaged and learning new things. I have neurodivergent experience as well and was a treatment analyst for over 3 years for those with autism and ADHD. I absolutely love kids and am super open minded when it comes to any given task. I look forward to hearing from you! P. S I'm also CPR certified :)

We had such a fantastic experience with Brianna. She covered caring for my boys (4 y/o and 18 months) for a week during the day while our nanny was out and seamlessly jumped in to our routine. Our boys are not used to new caretakers, but they warmed right up to her. She was kind, communicative, and super competent, and I trusted her right away — so grateful we had the chance 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)."

Eric D., dad of two
