Patricia $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Patricia, and I've been a full-time professional nanny for 5 years. I truly love what I do and take pride in being a trusted, positive presence in children's lives who prioritizes their safety above all else. I have extensive hands-on experience with infants through early childhood, including 4+ years as a primary caregiver. I've managed all aspects of care--feeding, diapering, naps, safe sleep, meal prep, potty training, and maintaining routines--while keeping parents informed and aligned with their preferences. I can provide proof of experience with permission from past families. I'm attentive, hands-on, and genuinely connect with children. I engage, play, and create a calm, nurturing environment where they feel safe and supported. I have my own car, am a non-smoker, and am CPR/First Aid certified. I'm happy to help with child-related tasks, light housekeeping, and errands. I'm flexible and available weekdays, evenings, and weekends, and can provide references upon request.

"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)."
