Hello! My name is Dina, I love children and believe they are such a blessing. I’m playful with the little ones and adore cuddles with infants. I have recent and extended experience with both. I have part time, occasional and overnight availability. I’m looking for a nanny position. My experience has been with all ages for over 25 years. Five of those years, my experience have been working at a non-profit organization as a child care provider with all ages, including twins! My preference is working for families who offer long term positions. One word that describes me is reliable, I’m extremely reliable and you can rest assured that you can depend on me. I’m also looking for a family that will offer guaranteed hours. I am also up to date with Child and Baby First Aid/CPR/AED / American Red Cross. Thank you and blessings on your search! Dina

Dina was great with the kids. I would definitely recommend her to my friends.

Hello families! I'm a friendly, energetic Nanny who loves staying active—whether it's taking kids to the park, going on walks, or enjoying quiet time indoors with books and building blocks. My goal is to provide high-quality childcare for busy parents and offer peace of mind knowing your little ones are safe, happy, and well cared for. I've been working with children since I was thirteen, starting as a camp counselor at summer and sports camps, and volunteering with outreach programs. I have five years of experience as a professional nanny. For the past two years, I’ve also worked as an EMT while pursuing a career in nursing. I have experience caring for children of all ages, including infants as young as six weeks old. Also I love cats and dogs! :) Thank you for taking the time to read my profile—I look forward to connecting with you and your family!

"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
