$36 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 6 families in San Carlos, CA

Hi! I’m a nanny with 4 ½ years of experience, two semesters of Montessori coursework under my belt, and a big heart for little humans. I’m am starting my third semester studying Early Childhood Education in Fall because I truly believe the early years matter most. I bring calm, structure, and a sprinkle of fun to every day, whether we’re building block towers or navigating toddler feelings. I’m CPR certified, always on time, and known for being both reliable and easy to talk to (for kids and parents!). I also speak German fluently, which can be a great plus for bilingual families or little language learners. Can’t wait to meet a great family to grow with!

Val was available on short notice and did a great job with our boys!

"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
