Booked by 10 families in Santa Clara, CA

My name is Nazlı, and I am a 29-year-old caregiver from Türkiye. I hold a bachelor's degree in International Relations, and throughout my studies I worked as a nanny, caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. In addition, I have completed a professional childcare certification, which has further strengthened my knowledge and skills in providing high-quality care. Working with children has always been my passion. I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where they can learn, grow, and feel supported. I have always built strong, trusting relationships with the children I care for through patience, kindness, and open communication. I consider myself responsible, reliable, organized, and highly patient. I believe one of my greatest strengths is knowing how to balance being a fun, caring companion while also providing the structure, guidance, and consistency that children need. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, encouraging positive behavior, and supporting each child's emotional and developmental needs. I also worked as an au pair in the United States, where I cared for a 23-month-old toddler and an infant. I began caring for the baby when she was just 3 months old, and later welcomed and cared for a newborn sibling after the family's second child was born during my stay. This experience gave me valuable hands-on experience caring for multiple young children of different ages while adapting to the changing needs of a growing family. After completing my au pair program, I continued working as a professional nanny. I cared for an infant from the age of 2 months until the child turned 14 months, further strengthening my experience with newborn and infant care, developmental milestones, and daily routines. Most recently, I have been caring for twin boys for the past two years. As they will be starting school this September, I am now looking for a new opportunity where I can continue providing loving, dependable, and high-quality care to another family. For the health and safety of the families I work with, I am fully vaccinated against COVID-19 (including two booster doses) and have also recently received my influenza and Tdap vaccinations.

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

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)."
