Booked by 2 families in San Carlos, CA

Hi, I'm Necole! I am an experienced nanny and caregiver with nearly 10 years of professional caretaking background, including ~5 years supporting my last long-term family (2 children) from infancy through school age. In May 2026, I completed my BA in Child & Adolescent Development with a minor in Special Education. After taking time to stay home, finish my degree, and get married, I am excited to step back into my caregiving career! My 8-year-old daughter is in school full-time, but I deeply cherish our weekday routine together. I am seeking a reliable, daytime caregiving position with a family that offers some flexibility or hours that align with pickups/drop-offs. I bring a structured, nurturing, and development-focused approach. Sweet, fun and cool, but I am also able to delegate and direct. I’m very adaptable, a quick learner and a self starter. Ultimately, my goal is to gain your complete trust and become an asset to your amazing family. I look forward to connecting to see if I am a good fit for your family! •Resume Available Upon Request

“My family needed emergency care for our boys, who are 2 and 4 years old. Necole watched them for several days, and we were so happy with her service that we requested her for the following week. We have not seen our sons adapt so quickly to someone new. She was very attentive to them and their needs. She did an excellent job with food preparation and daily activities for them. We appreciated her extra efforts, playing music, reading them lots of books and doing arts and crafts (currently displayed in our home). She also made sure they got some safe, fun time outside. She is adaptable to change and figures out things on her own- we were comforted to know that our boys were in good hands.”

"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."

"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)."
