Ana 1 review
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ana and I am a warm, reliable, and energetic nanny with experience caring for children of different ages. I love creating a safe, happy, and engaging environment where children can learn, play, and truly enjoy their time with me. I enjoy activities such as reading stories, pretend play, arts and crafts, hide-and-seek, outdoor adventures, and trips to the park. My goal is to create fun, positive, and meaningful experiences while helping children feel comfortable, supported, and cared for. I can also assist with light housekeeping, meal preparation, cooking for children, organizing play areas, running errands, and accompanying children to appointments or activities when needed. I speak Spanish and have a basic to intermediate level of English. I would also be happy to help children learn or practice Spanish in a fun and natural way.

Ana is an excellent person, very charismatic and patient with children and people in general. She is a trustworthy person dedicated to her work with great respect and efficiency.

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

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)."
