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.

Rate is negotiable depending on the situation and hours. B.S. Graduate of Penn State University at University Park I’m a responsible, detail-oriented business owner and mother to adult children who understands the importance of trust, consistency, and care. For the past thirteen years, I’ve managed my own home and property, overseeing landscaping, pool service, household maintenance, and coordinating licensed service providers. I’m highly organized, calm under pressure, and proactive about communication. I love children and animals and am attentive to routines, feeding schedules, walks, medication needs, and companionship. I’m also happy to take children out for walks and to neighborhood playgrounds or the library when appropriate, helping them stay active, curious, and engaged throughout the day. I understand how important it is for families to feel secure while they’re away—your home will be kept clean, orderly, and respected. Friends describe me as dependable, nurturing, and solution-oriented. Whether caring for children (furry and non), checking mail, watering plants, or managing household tasks, I approach every role with integrity, warmth, and professionalism.

Hi, my name is Laura, I’m 34 years old and originally from Germany. I recently moved to the Bay Area together with my husband. I speak German, English, and a little Spanish. I’ve always enjoyed caring for children - I’ve looked after my sister’s little one, my two godchildren (twins), and other kids from family and friends. I also have experience teaching both individual and group tutoring sessions, so I’m comfortable managing several kids at once and happy to help with homework and studying. Families know me as warm, kind, and dependable. I love spending time with kids - whether it’s playing, reading, helping them learn, or coming up with fun activities. I’m also glad to help with errands, cooking, meal-prep or house-sitting, so you can feel completely at ease when I’m around. I’d love to support your family and make things a little easier for you!

Laura is wonderful. She was on time and super great with our six month old. Our baby seemed comfortable with her right away. She played with her, got her to sleep, fed her, and took her on a nice long walk. I’m so glad we found Laura!

I truly enjoy spending time with children and creating a safe, caring, and fun environment where they can learn, play, and feel comfortable. Over the years I have gained experience working with kids of different ages. I worked for two years as a children’s activity animator in a tourist village with children ages 5–12. I also spent two years as an au pair in California, one year as an au pair in Belgium, and one year as a nanny in Austria. Currently I study psychology and child development, which helps me better understand children’s emotions and development. In the past few months I have also been babysitting part-time for several families. Through my experience as an au pair, I am comfortable cooking, helping with light housekeeping, organizing the home, and supporting families with daily routines. I can speak four languages fluently, and I also have some knowledge of Spanish. I can drive, i am responsible, patient, and attentive, and I value positive and supportive environment. Thank you!

"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)."
