Hey families!!, I’m 26 years old. I have 3 years of professional childcare experience and over 5 years of caring for children overall. I’m fully certified for infant/toddler and preschool care and I’m CPR certified. I’m currently taking a break from working in daycare trying to focus on my collage career but I still truly love caring for children and would love to support a family more personally as a nanny. I’m an artist and I previously ran my own children’s painting business called Juice Box and Paint, where I hosted fun sip-and-paint style activities for kids ages 2–13. I’m very patient, and naturally great with kids. I also love nature and gardening, and enjoy getting kids outside to explore and learn. I drive, cook, clean, can do hair, and I’m very comfortable with pets (I have a dog myself). I’m currently fully available and open to being a live-in nanny, travel nanny, or in-home nanny. I really enjoy creating a warm, safe, and loving environment where children can learn, feel supported, and just be themselves! Thanks for reading ❤️

Delicia took care of our son well while we attended an event.

I’m 20 years old. I have two younger brothers. One just turned 7 and the second one is 3 years old. I help my mom babysit them after school or when she has to run errands. I have prior experience babysitting for other families too. And I enjoy being with kids!

"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)."
