Booked by 6 families in Los Gatos, CA

Hello! I'm a compassionate and dedicated nanny/baby sitter with over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, as well as individuals with special needs. Whether it's helping with homework, managing daily tasks, or just hanging out on a Friday night playing games or having a movie night I am committed to providing high-quality, personalized care for your kids. I look forward to bringing my experience and passion for caregiving to a new family when needed.

“Heather was so wonderful with our two girls ages 6 and 7. The littler one was throwing a fit when Heather arrived, but Heather’s calm and friendly presence snapped her out of it and they became like best friends right away. Both kids had a great time, and afterwards their play area was tidier than it’s been in a long time!”

I am a dedicated caregiver with over 10 years of experience working with preschool children ages 3 to 5. My background in early childhood education has equipped me with the skills to foster a nurturing and engaging environment that supports children's development. As a bilingual speaker of Spanish and English, I can effectively communicate with diverse families and children, enhancing their comfort and understanding. Additionally, I am CPR certified, ensuring that I am prepared to handle emergencies and prioritize the safety and well-being of the children in my care. My passion for working with young children drives me to create meaningful connections and promote their growth in a supportive atmosphere.

I am patient, reliable, and naturally connect well with kids. I enjoy helping children learn, play, and feel safe in a warm and positive environment.

Sharon $30 per hour for 1 child

I've been working with kids for about five years, from infants to school-age, and I adjust naturally depending on their stage and personality. I'm very hands-on and I like having a clear flow to the day so things feel calm and predictable, but still fun. Most days include getting outside (park time whenever possible), making friends along the way, cooking together (and being okay with the super mess), or fully getting into whatever game or story they're excited about. I've worked through everything from diapers and first words to homework and after-school projects, so I know how to shift my approach based on what each child actually needs. One thing I really focus on is making life easier for parents. That means staying on top of routines, communicating clearly, and creating a space where things feel organized, smooth, and reliable, so they can feel confident that everything is taken care of. I'm adaptable, patient, and my goal is for kids to feel comfortable and excited in their day. And learning!

"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)."
