Fernanda $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Fernanda, and I have over 4 years of experience caring for children. I truly enjoy helping children learn, grow, and feel safe in a loving environment. I have experience caring for infants and toddlers, creating daily routines, preparing healthy meals and snacks, reading books, singing songs, planning age-appropriate activities, going on walks, visiting parks and libraries, and supporting developmental milestones. I am a patient, responsible, and reliable nanny who values open communication with parents. I also enjoy helping with children’s laundry, organizing play areas, meal preparation, and light housekeeping related to the children.

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in San Jose, CA

UrbanSitter Profile With over 24 years of experience in childcare and early childhood education, caring for children is more than a career for me—it is something I truly love and feel honored to give back to my community through. I have experience as an infant-toddler teacher, preschool educator, school director, and fourth-grade teacher, and I am also a trained CPR provider and postpartum doula. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of supporting families during some of their most important moments, including being present in the hospital for several births. I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can truly trust—someone consistent, dependable, nurturing, and engaged with their child—so they can work, take care of responsibilities, or simply have peace of mind. I believe in building a village around children and families, because having the right person in your child’s life can make such a meaningful difference. I take the time to get to know each child individually—their personality, interests, communication style, routines, and the things that make them feel safe and confident. I love learning through play, exploring nature, encouraging healthy habits, introducing children to nutritious foods, and helping them develop positive habits around communication, cleanliness, kindness, and their attitudes toward themselves and others. My goal is always to create an environment where children feel cared for, respected, safe, and encouraged to learn and grow at their own stage of development. I believe that when we invest in children and give them loving, consistent guidance, we are helping build a stronger and healthier community for everyone. I am open and flexible with scheduling and would love to find an arrangement that works well for both your family and me. I look forward to getting to know you and your children and hopefully becoming a trusted part of your family’s village.

“Valette was great with our 3 year old. She was excellent with communication and asked good questions before and during the session. We'd be happy to get her help again.”

"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)."
