$45 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Santa Clara, CA

Hello! I am a college student with a degree in Early Childhood Education and Psychology and am also a Certified Nursing Assistant. I am furthering my education and pursuing a degree in Elementary Education as well. I have had numerous babysitting and nanny jobs and have previously worked as an infant and toddler teacher at well known, top daycares in the area. I have worked with children ranging from infants to preschoolers and older! I specialize in infant and toddler care, am able to work with multiples, knowledgeable in developmental milestones and have worked with HNW and high-profile families. I love interacting and engaging with children and would love to help parents out with their little ones! • Infant / Child / Adult CPR and First Aid Certified • Vaccinated and Boosted (COVID, Flu, Tdap etc) • Clean Driving Record (I drive the children in my care to parks and libraries everyday!) I have also received 30+ five star reviews from previous families I’ve worked with on my Care profile!

“We needed a last minute sitter for our 11 month old and Jeany came to the rescue! After a quick phone call, I could tell she was very knowledgeable and comfortable around babies. She came over for a meet and greet before the sit started and immediately jumped right in to change a dirty diaper! She fed our son bottles & solids, put him down for naps, took him on walks and kept him happy and entertained the entire day! We don’t use hired/outside care takers very often, but I swear he didn’t even miss us :) It was so easy to work with Jeany, we would love to have her back soon! ”

"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)."
