Thank you for your interest. ** My name is Robyn, and I am 28 years old. I have been passionate about childcare since I was a teen. I first began helping my grandmother with her at home daycare.

Hey, I'm Loo and I'm from Brazil. I was an au pair here and I was taking care of 3 kids (1y, 5y and 8y). I lived a year with the family. In my au pair life I always tried to do my best for the kids and to help how I could the family. Everyday I created something with the kids, like games, educational activities, readed books and activities out (soccer, hiking, biking and picnic). I teached them about letters, numbers and colors. Every week I took them to the library for story time and play dates. In Brazil, I took care of 2 infants. My cousin for almost a year (she was 6 months when I started) and I lived for 2 years with my friend and her daughter and I took care of her for 17 months (she was 7 months when I started). Here, after my au pair year I I was working part time for two families in Tiburon, in the morning I was taking care of a 16 months old girl and in afternoon I was taking care of 3 kids (6y, 8y and 9y). Now I’m working with delivery and I have a flexible schedule. I'm a energetic person, open mind, responsible and really patience. I drive since my 18 years, here I drive everyday and I have my own car. I'm a good swimmer and I love to do sports. I will do my best ❤️

“Loo spent almost every morning with my two toddlers over a two-week period. She is fun and creative and also very experienced at managing this crazy age indoors and outdoors. She has lots of tricks up her sleeve -- especially on rainy days, like building a cardboard house for my daughter's stuffies. The kids really enjoyed their time with Loo and it was a pleasure to have around the house: she is helpful and reliable.”

"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)."
