Isabell 2 reviews
Walnut Creek
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My name is Isabell and I'm currently an Administrative Assistant. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching toddlers, and kids since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included walking to/from school, crafts, and tutoring. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I am happy to work with families with dogs and cats.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Isabell. From the moment they arrived, they were warm, punctual, and highly attentive to our child’s needs. She quickly established a connection with our child, creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment that put us completely at ease. Isabell has demonstrated excellent communication skills—keeping us updated as needed while also handling everything independently and with great confidence. She came prepared with engaging activities, handled routines like meals and bedtime smoothly, and showed a genuine care and patience throughout. What stood out most was Isabell’s professionalism, reliability, and natural ability to make children feel comfortable and happy. It’s clear that takes this role seriously and truly enjoys working with kids. We would not hesitate to hire Isabell again and highly recommend Isabell to any family looking for a trustworthy and caring babysitter.

Hi, there! I am an authentically enthusiastic, welcoming, & dedicated experiential education professional, skilled in making joyful and meaningful connections with others, particularly children & youth. I have over 20 years experience working with children and youth in outdoor education, 3.5 years experience as a private nanny (ages 1-4), and 13 years experience as a mom (successfully raising 2 children since birth). :-) I have a B.A. and M.S. in Recreation (with a focus on youth programming), I have an active Wilderness First Responder certification (advanced medical training), and I drive groups of students regularly for outdoor excursions. I am equally passionate about outdoor education and early childhood development, so nature play/exploration is an integral part of my nanny care! Outdoor education focuses on learning through experience, saying “yes” to try, and being curious about the world around us. I am creative, dedicated, easy-going, and a self-starter yet love working as a team. In addition to outdoor exploration, I integrate songs, art, baking, and field trips (e.g., zoos) into my work with children, and I bring a global perspective of having visited 17 countries. I would love to explore this opportunity to work with you and your precious little one(s)!

I have 11 years of solid experience caring for children ages 0-17. I have learned the importance of providing children structure through my years of nannying and caretaking. In addition, I have hands-on experience nannying multiple infants and toddlers at a time. I am 100% comfortable providing adequate structure, age appropriate interaction and activities, safe play, healthy eating and resting. I have worked with students who have IEP's during the day, as well as taught at an elementary school in multiple after school programs, and provided therapy for children with autism. I have taught classes such as dance, painting, drawing, STEM/STEAM, and an academic excellence class. I have taught these classes for children in pre-school up to fifth grade. I recently was a preschool teacher at a Montessori school and have a daughter as well. She is a 6 year old.

"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)."
