Yensy 1 review
$35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Montara, CA

Devoted and reliable nanny with 15 years experience in child care. I provide positive, loving care while making sure to meet the families educational and disciplinary goals for each child. I am skilled in creating and maintaining schedules, finding solutions to behavior challenges as they arise using positive reinforcement. I sincerely adore working with children from newborn, infants, to pre-school aged children and I am passionate about childcare and encouraging and child's exploration and development.

Yensy was our nanny for nearly 2 years. We selected her for her warm, loving and clam nature. She is very reliable and comes on time. She handled several tasks including preparing bottles and meals, outdoor activities, keeping feeding logs, buying groceries, and driving her to baby-toddler classes. She was a joy to have as part of our family. We highly recommend her.

$35 per hour for 1 child

I am looking for a child care / household service job during the weekdays afternoons and weekends. I have Associate Education in Hospitality management and B.S degree in Accounting. I have experiences work for 2-3 families as a mother’s helper. I live in SSF with my husband and daughter. I’m a non-smoker, non- alcoholic person. I used to be a full time mom. I took care of my daughter since she was born until she went to 2nd grade. Through the time with my daughter, I learned how to raise a happy, loving, curious, positive, kind, and confident child. I think build a strong growth mindset at early age is very important. Building a good foundation of reading and math skills will help kids to learn better and achieve academic success in the future. I volunteered at a nursery school when my daughter attended that school. I enjoyed the time with children. I prepared meals/ snacks for them, I watched them to play in the playground, feed the rabbits / chickens. I helped them to do crafts, drawing, story time, and play game. It was a great experience for me. The earlier child development is very important as 99% of brain developed before they turning 5 years old. Good eating habits, sleeping routine, quality activities, and reading are very important for children. I love kids. I like to read books to kids, bring kids outside to play, take kids to the park, museums,or library. In my spare time, I like sleeping, hiking, reading, coloring, planting, cuddling my cats. I speak English, Chinese Mandarin, and I understand Cantonese.

I am also CPR and First Aid certified. I am patient, attentive, organized, and energetic. I understand that every child has their own personality and needs, and I always try to create a positive and caring environment. I would be happy to help your family and provide dependable, loving care for your child.

"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)."
