I have been taking care of kids for 3 years. I can care for children aged from 3 months to 13 years old. I speak Mandarin and English fluently. I'm a caring and energetic person. Previously, I was a kindergarten teacher, so I can get along with kids very well. I have already completed 9 units of early childhood education. Additionally, I'm fully vaccinated and CPR certified.

Hi, I’m Ping! I have over 8 years of childcare experience caring for children from 7 months to 11 years old, including one year as a Montessori teacher. I love creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn through play. I enjoy planning arts and crafts, reading, singing, outdoor adventures, practical life activities, and age-appropriate learning experiences that build confidence and independence. I also prepare healthy meals, support consistent routines, and can teach basic Mandarin through songs and everyday conversation. I’m patient, dependable, and caring, and I believe in building strong partnerships with parents through open communication. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and help your child thrive.

Hello parents! My name is Lea. I have 12 years of childcare experience! I enjoy being a kid at heart :) I am currently in medical school and go back and forth from California to Boise Idaho. I am very active and love spending my time outdoors or exploring new places. Working with kids has always been something that I loved doing. I was an RBT therapist for 5 years and enjoyed every moment of teaching children. I am also able to provide references from previous families if needed. *Available for overnights and weekends as well*☺️

“Lea is kind and gentle to my toddler. They had a good time.”

"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)."
