💛 Experienced Nanny – Specializing in Infants, Twins & Nanny Share 💛 Hello! My name is Aranza, and I’m a professional nanny with over 10 years of experience caring for children. For the past few years, I’ve worked closely with two families of twins, which gave me strong skills in handling double routines, feeding, sleep schedules, and early development activities. I feel confident, calm, and organized even in busy households, and I truly enjoy working with little ones in their first years of life. I'm currently looking for a full-time nanny position, and I’m also open to nanny share opportunities with babies of similar age. 🍼 What I offer: * Deep experience with newborns, toddlers, and twins * Confident handling more than one baby at a time * I follow each family’s preferences for feeding (BLW, purees, bottles), sleep routines, and general care * Fun, creative, and age-appropriate play * Pediatric CPR certified * Fluent in English and Spanish * Pet-friendly * Valid California Driver’s License, clean driving record, and my own car * Fully vaccinated (COVID and others) 🌼 About me: I’m warm, patient, and reliable. Families describe me as loving and organized. I care for little ones with calm, consistency, and lots of heart. I’d love to hear how I can support your family!

“Aranza is reliable, professional, communicative and trustworthy. She started watching our son when he was 10 months old. From the beginning she asked a lot of questions about his personality, developmental stage and routine. She is kind and very engaging when it comes to playtime. She always keeps us updated on how things are going. 10/10 we would recommend her for child care services.”

"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)."
