Booked by 1 family in Lafayette, CA

I’m a CPR-certified babysitter with years of experience caring for children of all ages. I’ve also worked as a swim coach, leading over 120 kids per season ranging from ages 3 to 18 — which taught me patience, creativity, and how to make learning fun and safe. I truly love working with kids (and dogs too!). I have a dog of my own, a sweet little Italian greyhound named Loki who happens to be deaf, so I’m very comfortable providing attentive and compassionate care for both children and pets.

Lia is great!

Hi, there! I am an authentically enthusiastic, welcoming, & dedicated experiential education professional, skilled in making joyful and meaningful connections with others, particularly children & youth. I have over 20 years experience working with children and youth in outdoor education, 3.5 years experience as a private nanny (ages 1-4), and 13 years experience as a mom (successfully raising 2 children since birth). :-) I have a B.A. and M.S. in Recreation (with a focus on youth programming), I have an active Wilderness First Responder certification (advanced medical training), and I drive groups of students regularly for outdoor excursions. I am equally passionate about outdoor education and early childhood development, so nature play/exploration is an integral part of my nanny care! Outdoor education focuses on learning through experience, saying “yes” to try, and being curious about the world around us. I am creative, dedicated, easy-going, and a self-starter yet love working as a team. In addition to outdoor exploration, I integrate songs, art, baking, and field trips (e.g., zoos) into my work with children, and I bring a global perspective of having visited 17 countries. I would love to explore this opportunity to work with you and your precious little one(s)!

$28 per hour for 1 child

Professional Nanny Profile I am a nanny with over 3 years of experience in the United States, providing dedicated care to two children (currently 8 and 4 years old), having accompanied the youngest since she was 18 months old. My professional background covers both early childhood and school-age development, allowing me to effectively adapt to the unique needs of each stage. I hold a First Aid certification and also bring prior experience from my family’s childcare business in Colombia, where I gained a strong foundation in early education and child development. As a patient, caring, and creative individual, I particularly enjoy organizing outdoor activities and fostering a love for reading. Additionally, I am skilled in preparing balanced meals, including those tailored to special dietary needs such as vegan options. I am proud to have an outstanding reference from the family I currently work with, with whom I have built a long-term relationship based on trust and commitment. This experience reflects not only the quality of care I provide but also my dedication to becoming a supportive presence in children’s lives.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
