Bilingual Nanny | Loving, Experienced, and Dedicated to Child Well-Being Hello! My name is Katherine, and I am a professional bilingual nanny fluent in English and Spanish with many years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I have a clean driving record, and families often describe me as calm, sweet, patient, and dependable. I take great pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment for the children in my care.

My goal is always to support each child’s development with warmth, intelligence, and consistency, while also giving parents peace of mind knowing their little ones are happy and well cared for.

Kristen $19 per hour for 1 child

I received my bachelors from VCU in the Fine Arts. I then pursued a career path in child care and received a working visa in Australia and New Zealand and worked as an AuPair and various customer service roles in both countries. After returning back to the USA I worked in health foods/supplements for a few years and traveled around the US to see my own country. I greatly appreciate helping people live healthy lives and meeting their needs where and when I can. I've been helping neighbors a lot this year in my area with cat sitting, house sitting, child care and senior care so I'm interested in getting to know more neighbors in my community and lend a helping hand.

"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)."
