Hi, my name is Lisandi, and I've been a nanny for 10+ years. I currently live in San Jose and am looking for a part-time. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I'm happy to help with light household tasks such as dishes, laundry, mopping, organizing, running errands, and meal prep. As a nanny, I enjoy reading books, going to the park and library, taking walks, and doing fun activities like arts and crafts. I can also help with driving children to activities. I am loving, caring, patient, and truly enjoy what I do. I speak English and Spanish, am a non-smoker, have a clean driving record, and am CPR and TrustLine certified. I feel very grateful for the families I've worked with and can happily provide references. I also have an active Care.com profile with positive reviews from families I’ve worked with in the past. Please feel free to contact me-I'd love to connect!

"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)."
