Hello, My name is Opal. I live in Redwood City and currently work as a Family Assistant in the area. I’m looking to add more hours to my schedule—approximately 20 hours per week in March and around 30 hours per week starting in April. My schedule is flexible, and I am available to start the week of March 16th. Family Assistance (4 years of experience) I can help with meal prep (lunch and dinner), keeping the home organized and tidy, reorganizing children’s closets, sorting outgrown clothes for donation, and running household errands. I’m also happy to handle grocery shopping (Whole Foods pickup, Trader Joe’s, Costco), return packages, and take the family car for maintenance. I’m very organized and also enjoy cooking, especially Thai food. Pet Care I’m comfortable helping with pet care, including feeding, walking, taking pets to grooming or vet appointments, and picking up pet supplies. Childcare (11 years of experience) I have extensive childcare experience, including 5+ years caring for newborns, infants, and toddlers. I am Infant CPR and First Aid certified, fully vaccinated with boosters, and have received my flu shot and TDAP. I truly enjoy working with children and love engaging them through reading, singing, playing, and outdoor activities such as going to the park, library, and museums. I have my own car, a California driver’s license with a clean driving record, and can safely drive children using the family car. I’m a fun, punctual, reliable, patient, flexible, and positive person who loves both children and animals. I’m happy to provide references upon request. Rate: $38–$40 per hour. Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you. Best regards, Opal

Hello, my name is Khoula but I go by La-La. I have an associates degree in dental assistant. I have been an RDA (registered dental assistant) for 11 years. While pursuing a dental assistant degree, I worked as a part time nanny. I have the experience and skill set you are looking for. I am nurturing, calm, and patient. I have been around children of all ages my entire life. I am one of nine children, and I am an aunt to 14 nieces and nephews. Combined with my childcare experience and household management skills, I enjoy children, their zest for life, and contributing to their growth and well-being. My job as a caregiver, is to create a warm and secure environment for the kids. It is important to feel comfortable with each other. I hope to hear back from you soon. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thank you for your consideration.

“Lala arrived early, and immediately engaged with my children - she is clearly a natural with kids! We all found her warm and fun. Kitchen and playroom were nice and tidy! Would absolutely work with her again.”

"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)."
