Aimee $30 per hour for 1 child

My name is Aimee, and I'm a UC Berkeley graduate born and raised in LA. I've worked in education for 10 years with K-12 students and have experience providing childcare for ages 3 and up. With thorough training, I’ve supported children with a range of physical, emotional, and intellectual abilities. I'm very open to working with upper ages as well, for support / learning / companionship. My favorite subjects to teach have always been history, creative writing, and art - but I have worked and tutored in all subjects. I'd be happy also to facilitate creative time around art, cooking, movement or slower meditative time if needed. I'm available for kitchen, errands, driving, light cleaning / organizing support as well. I'm friendly, patient, curious, discerning, thorough, and communicative. I’m always happy to find the right balance of warmth and structure to best support any family. I am allergic to cats, smoke, and heavy scents but am ready to help in environments where these factors are not a concern.

"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)."
