Hello Families, My name is Mariah, and I have been a nanny and family assistant for 13 years. I have experience working with children(twins) of all ages, and I pride myself on being kind-hearted, reliable, and trustworthy. Childcare Experience: I specialize in working with infants and toddlers, providing care such as: • Diaper changing • Feeding and managing sleep schedules • Montessori-style play and activities • Potty training • Creating sensory activities tailored to developmental stages I’m passionate about arts, games, and spending time outdoors. Above all, I focus on ensuring a safe and nurturing environment for the children in my care. I am also CPR/First Aid certified and Trustline certified. Family Assistance: In addition to childcare, I bring experience in various family assisting tasks, such as: • Meal prep and dinner planning • Driving children to activities • Organizing and maintaining schedules • Grocery shopping and running errands • Car and house maintenance • Researching and booking travel • Pet care A Little About Me: I am an animal lover and enjoy integrating this passion into my work when possible. If you feel that my experience and qualities align with your family’s needs, I’d love the opportunity to connect.

Mariah was wonderful to work with; she helped us for a few mornings with our two boys (infant and 4). She jumped right in, got them both out the door and still had time to clean. She knew the right things to ask in the boys routines, took initiative in organizing our mess (which we desperately needed) and was fun to chat with. We would hire her again

I am a strong advocate for play based learning,and strongly support children’s Social/Emotional Development through play. I highly enjoy teaching about the importance of playing outside,and I come with 20 years of experience of developing an age appropriate curriculum combining play and learning inside the classroom as well as outside the classroom. I am fun to be around,and I love singing and storytelling,and creating fun and engaging Sensory Experiences. I truly love teaching,and I feel blessed to have touched and supported so many families and their children over the years,just as much they have touched my heart. Teaching has truly helped shape the person I am today. Patient,caring,calm,passionate,understanding and kind are some of those qualities I have taken with me along the journey.

Hi, dear families! I am currently seeking part-time summer or weekend jobs. I help one family in the mornings for a couple of hours but, I can help you at other times as my schedule from school is flexible. I am studying child and adolescent development at SJCC and would love to help in my free time if needed.

"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)."
