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.”

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 Soni! It’s so nice to meet you! 💕 I’m a mom and a childcare provider with over 10 years of experience caring for children. I truly love spending time with little ones—they always teach me something new! I especially enjoy imaginative play, role-playing, reading stories, and creating fun little adventures. And, of course, getting outside is one of my favorite ways to play, explore, and burn off some energy! 🌿☀️ I’ve worked with families throughout my time in the U.S., including a family in San Francisco for about two years and several families on the Peninsula. I also have childcare experience from Colombia. As a mom myself, I understand how important it is for children to feel safe, loved, respected, and comfortable while still following the routines and guidelines their parents have established. I always strive to be a caring and reliable extension of the family. I’m currently a mom to a sweet 1½-year-old, and I’m open to bringing my little one with me. If that works well for your family, I’d be happy to offer a lower rate to make the arrangement more affordable. ❤️ Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions—I’d love to get to know your family!

“Sonia was great with our twin boys, keeping up with their energy and playing non stop! We will invite Sonia back again!”

"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)."
