Booked by 3 families in Los Gatos, CA

Hi families! My name is Melody. I’m originally from Germany and have been living in California for the past 6+ years. I’m fluent in English, German, and Turkish (and I’m currently learning Spanish on Duolingo!). I bring over 8 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. I’m currently working at a German school teaching German and I also work at a daycare as a childcare provider. Working with children truly brings me joy and creating safe, happy moments for them is what I love most. Families and friends describe me as trustworthy, warm, caring, reliable, and respectful. At the moment, I’m looking for one-time or occasional babysitting jobs, including date nights. I look forward to meeting you and supporting your family!🍀

Melody was punctual, caring and did not get annoyed by my 5 years old telling her many stories. It was great ! Strongly recommend !

"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)."
