Alicia $40 per hour for 1 child

I’m a Household Manager and caregiver with several years of experience supporting private families in the Bay Area. I help with childcare, schedules, errands, home organization, and daily routines, always bringing calm, reliability, and attention to detail. I’m naturally proactive, organized, and nurturing. Families describe me as someone they fully trust — dependable, discreet, and easy to be around. I truly enjoy creating a smooth, supportive environment where both parents and children feel cared for. I also have a background in administrative support and digital tools, which helps me stay organized and assist with a variety of household and personal tasks. I’m looking for a long-term position where I can grow with a family and be a positive, steady presence in their lives.

Fulltime Boy/Girl mom while chasing a dream to being a future law enforcement officer, and aspiring first responder. Completed EMT school & currently in the process to start law enforcement. As a full-time mom, I’ve developed strong caregiving skills through providing a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment for my children. I’m compassionate, patient, dependable, and highly organized. I communicate effectively, remain calm under pressure, and adapt quickly to changing situations. Caring for my family has strengthened my ability to multitask, solve problems, and put others’ well-being first—qualities that I believe make me a dedicated and capable caregiver. Certs - BLS & American Red Cross adult and pediatric FIRST AID/CPR/AED - EMT certification

I loved to working with kids because I enjoy spending time with children. I find joy in watching little grow, learn new things and explore the world around them. I'd describe my personality as Caring, reliable, and patient. I like working with kids because I truly supporting children's growth and creating a safe fun environment.

One thing you should know about me is as a mother of 3boys, I understand the importance of patience , care and structure.

"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)."
