Assana 2 reviews
$27 per hour for 1 child

My name is Assana, and I am a dedicated and reliable nanny with several years of hands on experience caring for children. I have worked with multiple families, providing attentive childcare and supporting children with their daily routines, meals, homework, and engaging activities. I take pride in creating a safe, loving, and structured environment where children feel comfortable and supported. In addition to childcare, I have assisted families with household responsibilities such as cooking, cleaning, and laundry to help keep the home organized and running smoothly. I have also traveled with a family as a travel nanny when needed, which has strengthened my flexibility, adaptability, and commitment to meeting each family’s unique needs. I am patient, trustworthy, and passionate about helping children grow and thrive.

“I had the pleasure of having Assana as a nanny for my two children, and I truly cannot recommend her enough. She is incredibly caring, reliable, and dedicated to the families she works with. From the very beginning, she created a safe, nurturing, and structured environment for my children, and they absolutely adored her. Assana went above and beyond her role every day. She not only provided excellent childcare, but also helped with laundry, kept the house clean and organized, and made our home run smoothly. One of the things I appreciated most was her ability to incorporate learning into daily routines she even taught my children French, which was such a valuable and unique experience for them. She is patient, attentive, and genuinely passionate about working with children. Any family would be lucky to have her, and I confidently recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and hardworking nanny.”

"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)."
