My Bio I have over 5 years of childcare experience, a background in child development and behavior, and 2 years as an au pair. I have worked with multiple children and various age groups, allowing me to adapt quickly to different personalities and needs. I am known for being adaptable, easygoing, supportive, caring, and dedicated to my work, ensuring that children feel safe, loved, and engaged under my supervision. I am a good driver, ensuring that children are transported safely to and from school, activities, and appointments. I am well-versed in organization, meal preparation, and creating structured routines for children, including morning, afternoon, and nighttime routines. I excel in keeping children engaged through playtime, homework assistance, and various activities that promote their development.

We hired Kayla as a part time nanny. She has surpassed all of our expectations and we feel incredibly lucky to get to work with her. She is calm, confident, proactive, reliable and considerate. We couldn’t ask for a better nanny and trust her implicitly. Any family would be lucky to have her.

My name is Marie -aude and I have been a nanny for over 20years in USA and took care of a wide range of children from newborns to preteens. I speak fluently French, Spanish and English . I am also educated and earned a Bachelor's degree in France and an associate degree in Health Science in USA as well. I am also taking early childhood education courses in Foothill college toward my ECE certificate . I have multiple skills such as cooking healthy food, driving, organizing playdates, doing art projects ( my favorite1 ) and enjoy reading children books. I also consider myself a compassionate person who believe in gently approach to teach boundaries and respect to children . Finally and most important , I always felt part of each family I worked for and always look for the same type of relationship with families .

I met Marie while she was at a playground nannying. I was there with my kids. Marie’s attentiveness and warmth were noticeable immediately. My husband and I were new to Marin county with three little ones and no local contacts, so I asked for Marie’s contact information, and soon after she began nanny for our kids! Marie has been an absolute blessing to our family. She is energetic and loving, and always respectful and professional. She spends her free time preparing activities to bring to keep our kids stimulated and happy without screens. She respects and implements each family’s unique routines and preferences, and is excited to share ideas in the most helpful, non-judgmental way. Marie truly puts her whole heart into nannying, and any family would be lucky to work with her!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
