Booked by 1 family in Los Altos, CA

Hi! My name is Antonia. I have 10 years of nanny experience and recently graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing. I also have experience caring for elderly adults, which has helped me develop a compassionate, patient, and attentive approach to caregiving. I’ve volunteered in a preschool Spanish immersion classroom where I helped children with activities such as science, writing, and reading. I also volunteered for three years at at a Children’s Hospital assisting with newborn hearing screening program. I enjoy cooking, reading, and spending time outdoors. I’m very attentive, caring, and detail-oriented, which helps me provide thoughtful and safe care.

“Antonia was awesome with my 11 year old. She also handled my dog well who’s not used to strangers in the house. She’s like a big sister/cool aunt and my kid enjoyed hanging out with her a lot. Looking forward to more date nights with my wife knowing that Antonia is such a great fit for our family!”

Katie $50 per hour for 1 child

I am a professional childcare provider with more than 20 years of experience working with children from newborns through school age in both private-home and early childhood education settings. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Behavioral Health Science with an Emphasis in Childhood & Adolescence Disorders and am currently pursuing a Master of Science in Leadership.

I am also a trained Newborn Care Specialist, Infant & Toddler Specialist, 200-hour yoga instructor, and am certified in pediatric CPR and First Aid. I believe children thrive when they feel safe, respected, and understood. My caregiving style is warm, active, developmentally informed, and responsive to each child’s individual personality and needs. I enjoy getting children out into the community, exploring nature, reading, creative play, movement, and creating experiences that support their independence and development. I am available for babysitting, backup care, temporary care, school closures, nanny coverage, and occasional longer-term needs throughout the Bay Area. I especially enjoy developing ongoing relationships with families so children have a familiar, trusted caregiver when their regular care isn’t available.

"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)."
