My name is Laura, and I am very interested in offering my services as a nanny. With 3-4 years of experience working with children of various ages, I consider myself a committed, responsible, and passionate individual when it comes to providing quality care. My goal is to be an extension of the love and support that parents give their children, creating a safe, healthy, and stimulating environment where they can grow and develop holistically. Throughout my career, I have worked with children ranging from 0 months to 11 years, which has allowed me to adapt my care to the different needs of each child. Whether helping with schoolwork, fostering creativity through artistic activities, or planning educational games to promote cognitive development, I always strive to offer enriching experiences. I am an observant person, able to quickly adapt to the routines and preferences of each family. I also have experience in additional tasks such as preparing healthy meals, maintaining household order, and coordinating extracurricular activities. My focus is on promoting the physical and emotional well-being of children, stimulating their curiosity, teaching them values, and helping them develop social skills. In addition to my skills with young children, I am organized, proactive, and flexible, qualities that allow me to anticipate the needs of both children and families while managing time efficiently. I am always open to receiving feedback and adapting to the expectations of each family to ensure that I provide the highest quality service. Regarding my education have a solid understanding of the importance of safety and well-being in child care. I also have experience with first aid and always strive to stay updated on new techniques and approaches to child care. I am available for flexible hours and would love the opportunity to discuss how I can contribute to the well-being of your family. If you need more information about my experience or references, I would be happy to provide them. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to contributing to the care and development of your children, creating a positive and loving environment.

Booked by 1 family in Los Gatos, CA

Over the years, I have worked for two different families as a nanny. I worked with one family exclusively for nearly seven years. I watched the child grow from 9 months old to 7 years of age. It was an incredibly rewarding position for me. We will always have a special bond. I also have experience with senior care. I was the sole caregiver for my own grandmother after she was diagnosed with dementia. I currently look after my elderly mother. I love dogs. I have two of my own. I take great pride in how I care for them. They are senior dogs, but still healthy and active as can be. My strengths are my compassion, empathy, patience, and attention to detail. I have a passion for helping others.

Hi! I’m Priya, a San Francisco / Santa Clara based nanny with over 4 years of experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and twins. I’ve worked closely with families from the newborn stage into toddlerhood and am very comfortable with routines, feedings, diaper changes, sleep schedules, and helping little ones reach important milestones. I truly enjoy building strong bonds with the children I care for and creating a calm, loving environment where they feel safe and happy. I’m also happy to assist with light housekeeping and preparing meals for the children. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely passionate about childcare. I’d love to connect and see if we’re a good fit!

"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)."
