Hi! I’m Schnell, a professional full-time nanny with extensive experience caring for infants and toddlers, including twins. I specialize in creating a structured, nurturing, and engaging environment that supports each child’s development while maintaining a calm and organized household. I’m highly reliable, patient, and skilled at managing multiple children with ease, while keeping routines consistent and stress-free for both children and parents. I also assist with light household support such as meal prep and children’s laundry to help ensure your home runs smoothly. I’m currently seeking families who value attentive, high-quality care and a dependable, long-term presence. I’m also available for occasional evening and weekend babysitting.

Schnell was absolutely wonderful. This was our first time using UrbanSitter and Schnell arrived a few minutes early, was super communicative with us, and relaxed and gentle with our daughter. 10/10!

Hi! I'm a very patient and energetic nanny with over 5 years of experience. I am very calm and reliable, I prioritize communication with parents/guardians 100% of the time and I really appreciate every feedback related to childcare. With all of my experience I'm always looking forward to provide a safe and supportive environment for children to learn and have fun while under my care. I'm also very proactive and punctual. My favorite ages to work with are 1-7 years old. I've started my nanny career as A daycare teacher, back in Brazil, and I have been really enjoying working directly with families since I moved to America. I'm open for short and long term positions but mainly expecting something long term so I can bond with the kids and create a meaningful connection over time. I'm fully vaccinated and I have all my childcare certifications up to date.

"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)."
