Hello my name is Michelle I’m currently 21, I have 2 baby sisters 12 and 7 that I have helped raise since I could remember. I’ve always loved kids ever since I was younger. One of my grandmas had a preschool while I was growing up so I would often help out when I was over. I currently have a German Shepard, 3 cats, and a bearded dragon right now so I definitely have a big heart and love for animals as well.❤️thank you so much for reading this and/or considering me to take care of your babies.

Booked by 1 family in Watsonville, CA

Hi, my name is Annel. I have 6+ years of experience in child care. I have helped amazing families with kids between ages 6 months-12 years old. I am seeking my next nanny opportunity. In addition to child care, I can also help with light house work, meal prep, and errands, I hope we can connect soon!

“Annel was wonderful! She watched my 8 month old son at the last minute when he was sick with a fever. She fed him his bottles and solids, changed his diapers, did nap time, took him on a walk, read books, played with him, etc. She was gentle and sweet especially since he was very fussy from being sick. Annel was on time, professional and respectful. I would absolutely recommend her!”

I live with my grandparents who fostered me with wisdom for my whole life and taught me the importance of empathy and a good work ethic. I have a genuine heart and love to work with children and am majoring in child development!

"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."

Amy L., mom of one

"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

"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)."
