Backup Babysitter on weekends only Hello Families, My name is Lia, and I’m a 31 year-old childcare professional living in San Jose with my husband, two hamsters and a Dalmatian dog. I used to work as full time nanny and then during the week as an early childhood afterschool instructor for the past 3 years but I transitioned back to child caregiving recently. I’m passionate about supporting children’s growth and development, with over 10 years of experience caring for kids of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. Why Families Choose Me: -Over 10 years of childcare experience, including newborns, infants, toddlers, and pre-teens. -5+ years of experience in the U.S., with a focus on nannying, teaching and occasional babysitting. -Master’s in Early Childhood Education. -First Aid, CPR and Mandate Reporter certified with annual update training. -Fluent in Portuguese and English, with conversational Spanish. -Comfortable with swimming pools, pets and providing light housekeeping (vacuuming, laundry, simple meal prep). -Experience with exceptional needs in both home and classroom settings. A Little More About Me: -Newborn Care Specialist certificate (but I rarely take care of newborns since I also work with school aged kids and need to be mindful of illnesses). -Fully vaccinated (COVID, flu, Tdap and others), boosted, and happy to wear a mask as needed. -I do not drive children, but am happy to assist with local activities and walking distance school pickups if needed. -I bring a nurturing, creative approach to caregiving and enjoy helping kids learn through play and exploration. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and help your children thrive. I look forward to connecting with you soon! Thank you for considering me. Best, Lia

Hi- My name is Susana, I have been around children my whole life since my mom did a lot of babysitting when I was younger. I had the opportunity to learn a lot of things from her such as supervising children, practicing good hygiene, and organizing age-appropriate activities. Over the last past three years, I have had the opportunity to care for children under the company name Jovie/ Bright Horizon. Working with multiple families throughout my babysitting experience has deepened my passion for understanding child development. Seeing children grow and reach their milestones has been incredibly rewarding, inspiring me to continue making a positive impact on their lives.

My daughter enjoyed talking and playing with Susana. I appreciate when Susana accepted my booking last minute when my daughter was not feeling well.

"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."

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)."

Eric D., dad of two
