Hello parents! My name is Lea. I have 12 years of childcare experience! I enjoy being a kid at heart :) I am currently in medical school and go back and forth from California to Boise Idaho. I am very active and love spending my time outdoors or exploring new places. Working with kids has always been something that I loved doing. I was an RBT therapist for 5 years and enjoyed every moment of teaching children. I am also able to provide references from previous families if needed. *Available for overnights and weekends as well*☺️

Lea is kind and gentle to my toddler. They had a good time.

Hi! I’m Tatiana! I’m a responsible, caring, and organized caregiver with experience working with children from 2 to 10 years old. I’ve worked as a preschool teacher, so I understand child development and love creating fun, safe, and engaging activities. I enjoy crafts, reading, and outdoor adventures, and I’m always happy to encourage creativity and learning through play. I also speak Spanish and can help introduce it in a natural way. I’m comfortable driving and committed to providing a safe, positive environment where kids can thrive. I’d love to support your family!

Booked by 4 families in Sunnyvale, CA

Hi- My name is Jala and I just graduated with my Bachelor’s from San Jose State. I am now offering childcare and household services. I love working with kids because it gives me the opportunity to celebrate the little things everyday, whether it's a simple advancement in their learning journey or just watching them smile and play. I first began working with kids when I was 14 at a summer camp, and from there, I began working with multiple families outside of the camp. I have 3-5 years of experience with infants, toddlers and kids (even twins) but for the past 18 months, I have been focusing my care on infants (those under 1). In my spare time, I like to listen to music, spend time with my family and friends and hangout with my dog!

"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)."
