Angui
Booked by 1 repeat family
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Oakland, CA

Hi there! My name is Angui. I’m originally from Colombia, and I’m 31 years old. I have almost four years of childcare experience. I first worked as an au pair for two years, and then as a nanny for a family in Montclair for another two years. In both roles, I cared for babies and young children. I currently work with a sweet 9-month-old baby on Thursdays. During our days together, we go for walks, I prepare and feed her meals, and we do tummy time and age-appropriate activities to help her build strength and develop her crawling skills. We also enjoy getting out of the house and spending time with other babies and nannies in the area. I also volunteer in the nursery at my church once a month, which I really enjoy. A few additional things about me: • Valid driver’s license, clean driving record, and my own reliable car • Authorized to work in the U.S. • Fingerprinted • CPR certified • Up-to-date vaccinations • MinistrySafe Child Sexual Abuse Awareness Training certified • Excellent references and recommendations • Available to provide occasional or vacation coverage for families who already have a nanny Right now, I’m focusing on my studies and building my career, so I’m looking for a part-time nanny opportunity in the Piedmont area and surrounding areas. I’d especially love to connect with families who need childcare for one or more days a week, or moms who need a few hours to themselves—to run errands, work, rest, or simply have some time for self-care—while knowing their little one is safe, loved, and well cared for. I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident with the person caring for their baby. My goal is to provide not only reliable and attentive childcare, but also peace of mind for parents. If you’re looking for someone who can become a trusted part of your family’s support system, I’d love to connect! Please feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to chat and learn more about what you’re looking for. 😊

"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)."
