daniela $35 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! 😃👋🏼 My name is Daniela, I am 33 years old and I currently work as a Pediatric Occupational Therapist with the Early Start program in San Andreas Regional Center. I have over 10 years of experience working with children from infancy through early childhood, supporting their development through play, routines, and nurturing care. My professional background has given me strong knowledge in child development, communication, emotional regulation, and age-appropriate activities. I truly enjoy creating a warm, safe, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable exploring, learning, and having fun. Throughout the years I have worked with families in different roles including nanny, developmental specialist, and early childhood caregiver. I understand the importance of trust, clear communication with parents, and respecting each family’s routines and values. Families often describe me as patient, attentive, responsible, and very intuitive with children’s needs. I am currently looking for occasional babysitting opportunities, especially on weekends. Whether you need a few hours for a date night, an event, or extra help during the weekend, I would be happy to support your family. My professional experience also allows me to incorporate meaningful play and activities that support children's development while keeping the environment relaxed and enjoyable. I speak Spanish, English, and Portuguese, and I am comfortable working with children of different ages and backgrounds. My goal is always to provide attentive care while helping children feel safe, happy, and engaged. Thank you for considering me. I look forward to connecting with your family! 🌈

"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)."
