I am a former preschool teacher, currently turned nanny, with 20 years of experience working with children. I am a fun, loving person and offer more than the typical babysitter as I focus on supporting the overall development of children I work with. My experience ranges from birth to adulthod, including children with special needs, as I hold a certificate of specialization in special needs education and have several years of experience working with diverse abilities. I have two children of my own; a 23 year old son and a 27 year old daughter who graduated from Stanford. I am a native Spanish speaker, CPR certified, and a registered sitter with Trustline for added peace of mind of families. Note: if your child is sick or anyone in your household, please let me know, so we can discuss the risk. I don’t offer cleaning or cooking services.

Hello, I’m a career nanny with over 15 years of professional experience working in private homes, caring for children from newborn through 12 years old and supporting the unique needs of each stage. I am infant and child CPR/First Aid certified, TrustLine registered, a Newborn Care Specialist and thoroughly vetted by multiple nanny agencies. I am currently available for full-time positions. Over the past 15+ years, I’ve been fortunate to build strong, lasting relationships with both children and parents, and I’d love the opportunity to help your family as well. Best, Carrie

Carrie was a life saver. Needed last minute help to take care of our 4 year old. She responded quickly, and made sure to come a few minutes early. It was apparent she has a lot of experience caring for children. She connected with our son right away and they played nonstop. She limited screen time and was very responsible. Overall, he had a great time with her and we felt safe and secure leaving him with Carrie. Would definitely hire again.

🌿 Professional Nanny & Family Assistant Hi! I’m Angie, a caring, patient, and highly reliable nanny with over 7 years of experience, including 2 full years as an Au Pair and Family Assistant in the U.S. During my Au Pair program, I worked closely with my host family not only caring for the children but also supporting the household as a family assistant. I helped plan and maintain daily routines (meals, naps, school schedules, activities, homework, and bedtime), organized educational and recreational activities, supported bilingual learning (Spanish/English), and assisted with light household tasks to keep the home running smoothly. I have experience with children of all ages, from newborns and infants to toddlers, school-age children, and teens, and I’m very comfortable caring for multiple children at once. Safety is always a priority — I’m CPR & First Aid certified, attentive, and calm in any situation. Families describe me as trustworthy, loving, patient, and very organized. I focus on creating a warm, positive, and structured environment where children feel safe, happy, and confident. My approach is gentle and respectful, with an emphasis on positive discipline, emotional regulation, and age-appropriate independence. I love encouraging learning through play and creativity, including reading stories, arts and crafts, painting, music and movement, outdoor adventures, sensory play, and Montessori-inspired activities. I also enjoy teaching Spanish naturally through games and daily conversations. I’m fully vaccinated, a non-smoker, a strong and safe driver with a clean record, a confident swimmer, and very comfortable with pets. I hold a U.S. Green Card, allowing full authorization to work and travel in the U.S. I’m available for full-time starting in August and have a very flexible schedule, including evenings, weekends, date nights, occasional overnight care, and travel if needed. I have excellent recent references and truly value building long-term, trusting relationships with families. If you’re looking for someone reliable, organized, and genuinely passionate about helping children grow and enjoy their days, I’d love to meet your family 💛

We've booked Angelica for 5 consecutive afternoons/evenings of support, and she has been able to interact and play with kids. Overall, we would recommend Angelica.

"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)."
