Booked by 4 families in La Crescenta, CA

I am a recent San Francisco State graduate. I have a Bachelor's of Art degree in Child and Adolescent Development with a concentration in youth work and out of school time. I have a vast array of experience working with children that spans over six years. I have worked as a preschool teacher for two different preschools both in San Francisco and Portland, OR. I have also worked a total of four years as a camp counselor for Camp Galileo. In terms of nannying I have worked for about six different families and have done weekly sittings, overnight trips, school pickups, meal making, bedtime preparation, arts and crafts, etc. I have also volunteered with Reading Partners, Safe & Sound, San Mateo Outdoor Education, and San Francisco Unified School District. I love working with children and have gained my knowledge through experience but also higher education. I am hoping to get my Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and I love to babysit whenever I have free time.

Janie was an excellent sitter for our two young children (4 and 6). She is warm and calm, listens carefully and responds thoughtfully to our children. She provides constructive guidance to them, helps them stay organized, encourages them to use words to talk out their disputes, and makes them feel safe. She was always on time, and proactive in planning. She helped with school pick-up and prepped dinner and fed our children on some evenings. I would definitely hire Janie again, and recommend her highly for your family.

"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."

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)."

Eric D., dad of two
