Booked by 60 families in Evanston, IL

My name is Priscila, I am 35 years old, and have BA in International Relations. I've been taking care of kids for more than ten years in total. During this period I've been working with multiples families in Bay Area, and I have experiences from new borns to teenagers. My previous jobs were: - A family in San Anselmo with 3 kids (new born, 18mo and 5yo), we worked together for 3 years. - A family from Terra Linda who has two boys (2 yo and 15mo), we also did a nanny share with the youngest one, and with two other boys who were 18mo, and 21mo. - A family in San Anselmo who has a boy (6mo). - A nanny share with two families in San Rafael, the kids were 3mo and 6mo when I started, and now they are 5 years old :) I currently work as a realtor, but I do love kids, and I miss being around them, I’m not a mom yet, and I would like to help you babysitting your children during the weekend so you can enjoy some free times! I like the expression of “placing your eggs in different basket”, and in the future I have this goal of opening a day care, so it will be nice to do some networking now to achieve my plans in the future! I have the Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED from American Red Cross, and I'm fully vaccinated from flu and Covid 19. I used to be a baby sitter in The Palm Plaza Hotel Resort, taking care of kids from 3 months to 2 years. Also I used to be a teacher at Baptist Church, taking care of kids from 5 months to 10 years. My grandmother and my aunt are pedagogies, my mother is also a nanny, and I learned many things with them about children's development. I also love reading books about kid’s education, and I highly recommend the documentary from Netflix called “Babies”, it’s really good! With that being said, I’m constantly educating myself to treat your children as they were mine, to keep them safe, and to become the best mother I will be in the future! I’m looking forward in assisting your family soon!

“We had a paid interview with Britney. She was early—and so warm and engaging with our 7 and 10 year old, even when one of them threw a gigantic tantrum. We are all forward to getting to know Britney even more. :)”

"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."

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)."
