Hezel 1 review
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I’m a dedicated nanny with 15 years of childcare experience and a genuine love for being around children of all ages. I bring a ton of positive energy and thrive at keeping kids engaged, whether that’s through play, learning activities, or creative exploration. I believe every child deserves patience, encouragement, and fun while they grow—and I excel at balancing both nurturing care and educational support. I’m passionate about creating a safe, happy, and enriching environment. Please note that English is my second language. I communicate very well via text/google translate but I mainly speak Spanish. If you’re looking for a nanny who is reliable, experienced, and loves what she does, I’d love to connect and support your family!

It is with great pleasure and my highest recommendation that I write this letter for Hezel. Hezel has been our family's full-time nanny for the past 1.5 years. She began caring for our son when he was nine months old, and her impact on our family has been truly incredible. Hezel’s skills as a caregiver are exceptional. She joined us during a nanny-share with our neighbors, where she expertly cared for both our son and their child simultaneously—skillfully managing the complex needs of two boys under the age of one. Beyond her primary responsibilities, Hezel consistently went above and beyond to help our household run smoothly, often taking the initiative to wash dishes and fold laundry. Her proactive nature and strong work ethic are second to none. As a unique bonus, her past experience as a hairdresser was a wonderful perk, as she has given our son all his haircuts! What truly sets Hezel apart is the genuine warmth and love she shows for the children in her care. She is a patient, engaging, and deeply loving caregiver. The bond she built with our son is a testament to her character; he adores her, often asks for her on her days off, and is always happiest when playing with her. We have always had complete peace of mind knowing he was not just safe and cared for, but also genuinely happy and thriving under her watch. Hezel is, in the truest sense of the word, a "super nanny." She is reliable, skilled, and brings wonderful energy to her work. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

I have a younger brother who I frequently babysit, and I have been a Camp Counselor. Additionally, I have had dogs my entire life, and I often take care of my grandma’s cat. I also volunteer in hospice, so I have a lot of experience with seniors. Special certifications: BLS and CPR Additional Experience: Organizing Sheet Music and Household Chores

"We hired her to help manage our daily household chores, and she has been an absolute lifesaver. She is incredibly efficient, detail-oriented, and takes initiative to keep everything organized and running smoothly. We highly recommend her to any busy family looking for reliable, trustworthy help!

Nurturing young minds is more than a job for me; it's a genuine passion. For the past nine years, I've dedicated myself to creating enriching environments where children can thrive. My approach is rooted in patience, creativity, and open communication. I provide regular updates via text or phone call, and I always follow the parents' lead when it comes to household rules. I enjoy engaging children with board games, puzzles, and educational activities. I am comfortable caring for up to four children and have experience with special needs children. I hold First Aid Training and CPR Training certifications, along with Early Childhood Education (ECE) and Early Child Development coursework. I'm happy to assist with cooking, carpooling, light housekeeping, and travel. I'm also comfortable with pets. Knowing I can make a positive impact on a child's life brings me immense joy, and I look forward to the opportunity to care for your little ones.

Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile! My name is Parvaneh. I’m 47 years old and currently studying Psychology at university. I’m a patient, calm, reliable, cheerful, and compassionate person who truly enjoys caring for children, seniors, and families. With more than 20 years of experience teaching yoga and meditation, I have completed specialized training in Yoga for Children, Yoga for Seniors, and Corrective Movement by doing yoga. I enjoy promoting healthy habits, relaxation, mindfulness, and age-appropriate movement to support children’s development and older adults’ health and well-being. One of my passions is children’s literature. I have written and published a children’s book inspired by the importance of learning, imagination, and personal growth. I have experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-age children. I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, feel loved, and build confidence. In addition to childcare, I can prepare healthy, home-cooked meals, run errands, help with homework, and support daily routines. I also have personal experience caring for my parents, which has taught me compassion, patience, and the importance of providing respectful and dependable senior care. I have a valid California driver’s license. I love both cats and dogs and am very comfortable working in homes with pets. Families can count on me to be kind, responsible, trustworthy, attentive, and easy to communicate with. My goal is to provide a safe, happy, and supportive environment where every family member feels comfortable, respected, and well cared for.

"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)."
