Hi, I'm Alejandra. I have a strong background in childcare, with experience as a private nanny and as the director of a licensed home family daycare in California. I've worked closely with infants and toddlers, creating safe, structured, and nurturing environments that support healthy emotional, physical, and cognitive development. Recently, I decided to close my daycare to begin a new chapter focused on my education. This change allows me to offer my time and dedication to a few families. •Experience with infants and toddlers • Educational and sensory activities •Strong communication with parents •Knowledge of child development and first aid If you're looking for a trustworthy, loving nanny with real experience and a passion for child development, I'd be honored to support your family

My mom is the youngest of 10 kids so I grew up always babysitting all my little cousins. That love for childcare developed into working at an elementary school in my senior year of high school and now babysitting as much as I can in my senior year of college at Santa Clara University. I'm good with kids, I'm pretty flexible with scheduling, and I am a great role model and positive influence for all age groups- including my 4 year old brother Ashton :) I am highly capable of any job you can throw at me and I am eager to work! Some fun facts: - I love animals - I paint watercolor - I got all A's last term If you would like to reach me for an interview, please call or text me anytime at: 917 (then) 627 (then) 7627 and I will answer or get back to you as soon as possible. All the best, Nash :)

"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)."
