Booked by 4 families in San Jose, CA

Hi! My name is Karen, I’m 29 years old, and I have experience caring for children of all ages—from infants to older kids. I’m responsible, loving, patient, and dedicated. I truly enjoy spending time with kids—playing, helping with homework, and making sure they always feel safe and happy. I have experience working with children in different family settings, supporting daily routines, playtime, meals, and schoolwork. I’ve also cared for multiple children at the same time, adapting to each family’s needs. I love animals and I’m also available to help care for pets if your family needs it. I’m happy to assist with light housekeeping, organizing, and simple meal preparation as well. My first language is Spanish, and I’m currently learning English and improving every day. I have a driver’s license, flexible availability, and I easily adjust to different schedules and parenting styles. I’m excited about the opportunity to work with your family. Thank you for considering my profile!

We are so incredibly grateful for Karen's time with our family and helping care for our 1 year old baby. Karen was professional and reliable. She was patient, nurturing, and incredibly attentive to our daughter's needs. We always felt at ease knowing our little one was safe and happy in her care. We highly recommend Karen to any family looking for a trustworthy, warm, and engaged caregiver for their child.

"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)."
