Booked by 1 family in Petaluma, CA

Hello! My name is Giovanna, and I currently work in childcare. I have experience with babies, toddlers, and children up to 10 years old. I’m patient, responsible, and truly enjoy engaging with kids through reading, playing, drawing, and other creative activities. At the moment, I take care of two children — one 2 years old and the other 4 years old — so I’m very comfortable with all daily childcare tasks. This includes preparing and serving meals, changing diapers, helping with potty training, bathing, getting them dressed, playing, reading books, planning creative activities, going outside, and following nap and bedtime routines. I always follow the parents’ instructions and respect each family’s routine. I would be happy to support your family and care for your children with attention and dedication. I’m new to this platform, so I don’t have reviews yet, but I’m looking for an opportunity to show my work and build trust. I can also provide references upon request. In addition, I’m available for babysitting for special events, date nights, or occasional needs. Thank you, and I hope to hear from you soon!

Giovanna was great with my kiddos! She was immediately able to win over my younger one and my kids enjoyed playing games and building forts with her. We’ll definitely have her back!

"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)."
