Hi families! My name is Katerine and I’m 29 years old. I am a friendly, warm and patient person who enjoys spending free time outdoors with my pet. I love looking after children and supporting their learning journey by playing with them and engaging in various indoor and outdoor activities that enrich their knowledge and motor skills; and I also love learning from them; they really are great teachers. I am currently working full time with 2 kids (4yo and 3yo). I’ve been working with them since January 2024, it’s been a very cute and fun journey. I still work occasionally with families that I have contacted by this app. I was an au pair for 2 years and I have experience with children for a little over 7 years. My experience ranges from babies (3 months) to children aged 10-15 years old. If you have any questions, please send me a message and we can get to know each other better :)

Hello! My name is Charlotte. I'm a 31 year-old Bay Area native currently working as a postdoctoral neuroethicist at UCLA. I also work as a community doula (trained in Oakland, CA) and have taught social justice oriented yoga classes in SF and virtually. I love working with families and while my schedule doesn't allow for full or part time care, occasional care is what I'd love to offer. I have over 10 years of experience as a babysitter, full time nanny and elementary school teacher. I've worked at a preschool and at my university's childcare center, and most recently, as a teacher for 3-8 year olds in Cambodia. I'm looking for doula work (prenatal, childbirth, or postpartum) or occasional nannying work. I absolutely adore children and working with them is such an honor to me. I’m responsible, creative and energetic and excited to speak further with you about working with you and your family! I'm also fortunate enough to be fully vaccinated and am happy to provide references upon request. Thanks so much, Charlotte

"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)."
