Hello! I’m Tatiana. I’ve graduated from Purdue University with my degree in Speech Pathology. I’m doing a part-time internship, leaving me with some spare time to help out families with kiddos (fur kids too)! I’m the eldest of 5, and my youngest sibling is 4 years old. We have so much fun– I love crafting, reading, drawing, and especially teaching them Spanish (I studied + tutored Spanish in university, would be happy to teach your kids too). I’ve watched babies as young as 4 months old, but love working with toddlers and older kids alike :) I’ve interned at an occupational therapy clinic, working with kids on the autism spectrum and/or sensory sensitivities. I also love pet sitting, I’ve worked with adults with intellectual disabilities, and most recently worked at a retirement home. Basically, I can work with any and everyone! I’d be happy to meet you and your family to see if we’d make a good fit! 😄

Tatiana has been a lifesaver for our family, caring for our three kids for years now. She is remarkably patient, totally engaged, and has this wonderful, calming energy that kids just gravitate toward. What really sets her apart is her background in language development! When our youngest was four and working through a speech delay, her experience made a massive, tangible difference in his progress. Beyond that, she is someone we have always found to be 100% reliable from everyday school driving to overnight care when my work schedule gets crazy. She’s dependable, smart, and wonderful with the kids. Any family would be lucky to have her!

Hi! My name is Alice. I am an experienced family daycare provider and babysitter based in the Bay Area, with years of hands-on experience caring for infants and toddlers. I currently run a licensed-style family daycare, where I care for children ages 0一4 on a daily basis. I am very familiar with infant and toddler routines, including feeding, diaper changes, nap schedules, and emotional soothing. I believe in providing a calm, safe, and nurturing environment. I enjoy engaging children through age-appropriate activities such as reading, singing, sensory play, and creative activities that support early development. I am reliable, patient, and detail-oriented, and I value clear communication with parents. I am available for occasional babysitting, daytime care, weekends, and infant care. I would love to support your family and provide attentive, high-quality care for your child. 📌 Additional Information 1️⃣Communication: I primarily communicate in Mandarin and am comfortable with basic, everyday English for daily updates and coordination. 2️⃣Care Location: I provide care at my licensed-style home daycare. Children are dropped off at my daycare, and I am unable to provide in-home care. 3️⃣Daily Updates: I provide regular updates throughout the day, including messages, photos, and short videos.

Alice is kind, patient, and very reliable. Our baby loves her, and we always feel at ease knowing our child is in great hands. Highly recommend!

Hi! I'm a college student with several years of experience working with children of all ages. This summer, I worked as a site assistant and a teacher with Destination Science, where I led fun, hands-on STEM activities while ensuring every child felt safe, included, and engaged. I've also worked as a babysitter and day camp counselor at the MJCC, supervising children, organizing games and crafts, helping with meals, and creating a positive environment. During high school, I taught at a dance clinic, which strengthened my leadership, communication, and patience while working with young children. I'm responsible, dependable, and energetic, and I genuinely enjoy helping kids learn, grow, and have fun. Whether it's keeping children entertained, assisting with homework, preparing simple meals, or helping with bedtime routines, I'm committed to providing families with reliable and attentive care.

During the last 3 years I have had jobs related to child and pet care. I was working at petsmart and in two home day care, I am creative and careful and friendly, I have learned during my experience to pay attention to details and solve them in an optimal way. I think it is very important that children have good care for this reason I am starting classes at Mission College in relation to the care and behavior of the child

We would love to recommend her for the wonderful care she provided to our 1 year and 4 month old daughter. From the very beginning, she built a very special bond with her; our daughter always felt calm, safe, and happy in her presence. She supported us during an important stage, introducing solid foods, always with patience, care, and by following our instructions closely. She was also very responsible when it came to managing allergies, which was extremely important to us, and she consistently gave us peace of mind in that area. She helped establish sleep routines that significantly improved our baby’s rest. In addition, she encouraged her development through the use of Spanish commands, daily reading, and engaging activities that supported her learning in a loving way. She also promoted outdoor activities, which helped our daughter stay active and supported her motor development. Additionally, she assisted with meal preparation, always carefully following our guidance. She is a very responsible, dedicated, and detail-oriented person. We are truly grateful for all the care, support, and love she gave to our daughter.

"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

"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)."
