Booked by 8 families in San Diego, CA

Hi, I am a loving mother of a 20yr old daughter. I am continuing my education persuing my Bachelor's degree. I love infants and children. I figured this is a great way to get my baby/kid fix. I have been a nanny for the last 5+ years. One of my families in the nanny share are graduating to school. I am looking to fill a full or part-time position with another family. The current family I still nanny for has 2 little girls. Their ages are 3 1/2 and 14 months. I only nanny them 2-3 days a week. Typically I just have the 14 month old. The 3 yr old goes to school most days. I have many years of experience from newborn +. I provide a safe and fun environment. If this sounds like a good fit, please reach out. I would love to chat more.

Lindsay was amazing! My plans changed last minute and she agreed to come hours earlier than planned and even ended up staying later. She was so great with my baby and even sent me photo updates throughout the night so I could see how much fun he was having. I felt very comfortable that my little guy was in great hands and will definitely use her again in the future!

I began my childcare journey working in a daycare center where I cared for children 6 months and up. From that position, I was offered several regular babysitting opportunities and eventually took a position as a fulltime nanny for two boys aged 2 and 5 (live-in/overnight). I was also a parttime nanny (1 day a week) for a 4 year old girl, and later a long term nanny for a girl from age 3-8 years old. I have also been a tutor/babysitter for 11 year old triplets; I taught them English/literature for independent study/home school. During the pandemic. Education: B.A., Economics, UC Berkeley Juris Doctor, University of San Diego, School of Law I’m still waiting on my background check to be completed, but I am available for jobs, so please feel free to contact me!

"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

"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)."
