Booked by 8 families in Santa Clara, CA

Hi My name is Ngan Nguyen( nickname is Holiday), and I love working with young children. I grew up with my big family and appreciate the teaching from family, school and community. Besides, I believe children deserve get a good support to develop their full ability and potential in them.

We hired Thi through our corporate backup care program. She was very punctual, active, and attentive while taking good care of our little one. She kept her quite engaged, and they played a lot of games and had lots of fun. Would definitely recommend her to others, and would hire her again as well.

Hi families! I am a nurturing, and reliable caregiver with over 9 years of experience supporting families and caring for children from newborns to teenagers. My journey began by caring for my own 4 siblings, which sparked a deep passion for creating safe, loving, and engaging environments where children can grow and thrive. I’m currently pursuing my degree in Mechanical Engineering. I’m also multilingual, fluent in English, Pashto, Urdu, and Farsi, with conversational skills in Arabic, Turkish, and German. I’ve completed my CPR training, studied child development courses and worked as a teaching assistant at an elementary school and preschool, which has given me valuable insight into children’s growth and learning. I understand how demanding parenting can be, and it’s always been my goal to support parents by offering peace of mind, flexibility, and trustworthy care. I offer a wide range of support, including: Childcare: - Engaging kids in safe, fun, educational activities suited to their age and interests. - Experiments (like baking soda volcanoes!), arts and crafts, and team games like “Freeze Dance” and more. - Multilingual storytelling to support language development. Pet-Care: Experience with cats, dogs, and parrots in feeding, walking, or playtime. Housekeeping/ Household Care: Cleaning, errands, laundry, shopping, cooking/meal prep (including dietary needs), medication reminders, and more. I approach every family’s needs different with kindness, care, and flexibility. I am always open to feedback and focused on creating the best possible experience for families and loved ones. Thank you for considering my profile and reading. I’d love to connect and learn how I can support your family. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to chat!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
