Hello! My name is Anna Parente, and I have over 6 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to school-age kids. I am a warm, reliable, and patient caregiver who loves helping children learn, grow, and feel safe. My experience includes newborn care, infant feeding, diaper changes, sleep routines, tummy time, developmental activities, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and school-age care. I am CPR and First Aid certified and have worked as both a nanny and overnight newborn caregiver. In addition, I am a Certified Postpartum Doula and Certified Newborn Care Specialist (NCS), which gives me specialized training in newborn care, feeding support, sleep routines, and supporting families during the postpartum period. I am based in Redwood City and serve families throughout the Bay Area. I look forward to connecting with your family and learning how I can help! 🩵

“We were looking for a caretaker for taking care of our 10 month old daughter for a month, before she started day care. Fortunately for us and our daughter, we ended up meeting Anna through urbansitter. Anna is extremely loving, sincere, hardworking and responsible. She quickly ramped up to our daughter's schedule, in a matter of 1-2 days. She was always on time, flexible when we needed her for a couple of extra hours during the end of the day. Within a matter of 1 week, she gained our complete trust. Her responsibilities included watching over our daughter, keeping her engaged, feeding her milk and solids, putting her for her day naps, laundry. Aside from these she would also proactively help us with some minor chores. She also keeps her environment very clean and organized. We also have a 2 year old dog who is extremely playful and loving. Anna was super friendly with our dog too. Overall, I would highly recommend her for families out there. The only reason we couldn't continue with her was because our daughter started day care.”

"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)."
