Hello, I’m Lieu’Miya! I’ve been caring for children since I was 16 and truly enjoy supporting their growth and curiosity. Over the years I’ve worked with multiple families, including caring for infants and toddlers, which has made me very comfortable with different routines and developmental stages. I’m currently a 19-year-old college student working toward becoming an engineer, so I naturally enjoy problem solving and finding creative ways to keep kids curious, engaged, and learning. I’m patient, calm, and very adaptable to different personalities and routines. Many people describe me as confident and hilarious (pfft!) as I bring positive energy while also creating a safe and steady environment for kids. I’m naturally kind, attentive, and emotionally aware, which helps me build strong, trusting relationships. I love getting kids outside for parks, walks, and little adventures, but I’m just as happy doing crafts, reading together, or winding down with quiet activities at home. I truly enjoy encouraging curiosity, kindness, and creativity, and I always adjust my approach to meet each child’s individual needs. More than happy to help with light tidying, meals, and some housework as I can understand the need for help! I personally love to clean and keep the place in shape for you. This is my first year using this platform, and I’m excited about the opportunity to connect. I’m currently looking for one-time and part-time options. I hope to work with you and your family soon :)

I have been a nanny for 4 years and a caregiver for the last 2 years. I am CPR certified and able to handle allergies, asthma, and diabetes. I can provide a fun safe (educational) environment for your kid(s)!

Sierra immediately connected with our 2.5 year old, and was engaged and caring with him and our 6 month baby. Warm, kind and responsible. I’d highly recommend her!

Booked by 15 families in Lafayette, CA

Hi! My name is Caroline, I’m from Brazil and I have a lot of experience with kids from babies to teens, also I have experience taking care of multiple kids at the same time and house management/cooking. I usually like to teach them about different subjects because I love arts and crafts in general, science, sports like Brazilian jiu-jitsu, expose them to my and other cultures, cook healthy meals and teach them responsibilities and how to manage their feelings in different ages and other life skills. In my free time I like to practice martial arts, play games, meet my friends, go to the movie theater or the karaoke, go visit new places places and explore the nature around California! ☺️ Please don’t hesitate to hit me up if you would like to know more about me. I can’t wait to hear about your family! 😊 References upon request :)

Carol was punctual and our girls enjoyed their time with her. I’d happily use her again.

Booked by 2 families in Lafayette, CA

Hi there! I’m Roua, 29, and I’m looking forward to finding a family to work with. I’ve cared for children of all ages, from infants as young as 5 months to kids up to 13 years old. Growing up, I spent a lot of time looking after my nieces, and I’ve always loved helping kids learn, explore, and grow. As I got older, I worked at the “Kids Club” at the Concord UFC Gym for 2 years, where I cared for multiple children and helped plan fun and creative activities. I’m happy to help with meals, light housekeeping, and coming up with games and activities that keep kids engaged and happy. I’m also a San Francisco State University graduate in Anthropology, and I bring patience, energy, and a love for working with children to every family I work with! COVID-19 vaccinated

Roua was wonderful with my 6 month old! Phenomenal communicator, and super confident, thoughtful, experienced, flexible and caring. Strongly recommend Roua!

Hi my name is Alyssa! I have been babysitting and working with kids for over 9 years. I have experience with cooking, cleaning, and organizing. Currently I am a preschool teacher and have worked with children from 18m and on. When I come to your house to watch your children, I always bring activities for them to do. Whether it’s arts and crafts or playing with cars or dinosaurs I love to sit alongside your child and help them learn through play by asking them questions about what they are playing with and also asking questions to get to know them. Right now I am on my winter break for two weeks so I am looking for work. I am very good with taking care multiple children as I take care of 8 kids in my classroom daily by myself. Let me know if you have questions and want to set up a phone call or video call.

She was great and super friendly

"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)."
