“We worry about what a child will become tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.” ~ Stacia Tauscher Hello, I am Regina. A teacher, mother and nature lover. In my ten years as an educator I have worn many hats. From Montessori guide, to private, Judaic and play-based schools and also as a behavioral tech for the school district. I have found most success and personal satisfaction as a private nanny and family assistant. I look forward to being a member of your family and providing you the parent peace of mind and your child a safe place to be. Bachelors in education 2024. Infant and pediatric CPR current 2026

Booked by 28 families in National City, CA

Hi Families! I’m an experienced childcare provider with 12+ years of experience caring for children from infants through the teen years. I’ve also been the primary caregiver for my younger brother since he was 7, giving me a deep understanding of patience, consistency, emotional support, and each child’s individual needs. I’m currently training as a Newborn Care Specialist and Birth & Postpartum Doula while completing my clinical hours toward certification. I especially enjoy supporting families through the newborn and postpartum stages, while also loving care for toddlers, school-age children, and siblings. I bring a calm, nurturing, and dependable presence into every home. I’m happy to help with play, meals, bedtime routines, homework, light tidying, and maintaining a child’s normal routine. I’m open to part-time roles as well as one-time and occasional childcare, including evenings and weekends. I’d love to support a family looking for someone caring, trustworthy, and dependable.

“Sierra stepped in at the last minute to help watch our 9 month old son! She followed everything listed in our guide. She updated me on what he ate, his diapers, and overall demeanor! At the end, she also offered to wipe down all of his toys and clean his high hair. Would recommend Sierra, we were very grateful for her! ”

Hi I’m Evalina I offer childcare, Senior care, Pet care as well as house sitting and occasional cleaning if needed. I’ve been babysitting and nannying since I was 15 so about 10 years. From infants to teenagers. I was valedictorian in high school so I don’t mind tutoring or helping with homework. I’ve watched 8 kids at once so I’m fine with big families. Watched twins newborns so always ready to jump in and help. I have no pet allergies so If you have animals thats fine I have experience with lots of breeds of dogs and even cats as well as many different reptiles. At the moment I do not have a car but I’m always early as you can check from previous reviews there will be no problem with me being reliable and on time.

"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."

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)."
