Booked by 2 families in Hercules, CA

Hello families, I'm Luz Maria, though most know me as Lucy. I'm the youngest of five siblings, who enjoys spontaneous adventures, hiking, and spending time with loved ones. I value being open-minded, kind, curious, and empathetic. I strongly believe in self-care, recognizing that we can best care for others when we also take care of ourselves. I have over a decade of experience supporting infants and toddlers. My top priority is their safety. Beyond that, I strive to create an environment where children feel encouraged to explore and learn. I take time to truly listen and understand each child's needs, emphasizing being present and intentional in every interaction. I believe children should be able to fully express themselves by talking through emotions, while still setting boundaries. My goal as a nanny is to help children explore their world safely and confidently while supporting each family's values, routines, and parenting style. Please let me know your needs and how I can be a valuable addition to your family’s support system.

“Luz is a fantastic and loving nanny for my little boy for almost 17 months. I met Luz at the park and saw how incredible she was interacting with kids espicialy infants and toddlers, the reason why I hired her as my night sitter couple times a month. She is responsible, caring, honest, communicative and on-time throughout her employment with me. For anyone who is looking for a nanny, I would strongly recommend Luz she is an amazing nanny who will sincerely care for your children like they are family.”

I'm Michaela. I am a mother of 4. I have 3 boys and just welcomed my first girl in September! I opened my own in home daycare in 2020 but closed to focus on baby girl. I’d love to find a family that would allow me to bring her along. I genuinely love working with children. My experience ranges from newborns to teenagers. I've even cared for children with special needs and multiples. I’ve seen and done it all!

"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)."
