Hi, my name is Daniela. I have experience in childcare; I currently work with two families in the Seattle area—one on a regular basis and the other occasionally—caring for children aged 13 months and 4 years. I also have two wonderful children of my own, aged 15 months and 8 years, which further enriches my experience. Additionally, I have experience with housekeeping, elderly care, and dog care. I consider myself a very patient, affectionate, responsible, and punctual person. I would love to connect with families who need any of my services and would welcome the opportunity to become part of your team.

As a nurturing and experienced childcare provider, I'm passionate about nurturing children's growth and well-being. With three years of experience, I'm skilled at creating a safe and stimulating environment where your child can thrive. My calm and patient demeanor puts children at ease, and I pride myself on open and honest communication with parents. I firmly believe that a strong partnership between caregiver and parent is essential for a child's healthy development. Whether it's engaging in outdoor games, playing board games, or assisting with educational activities, I strive to make each day enjoyable and enriching for your child. I'm happy to assist with household chores, meal preparation, carpooling, and travel.

"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)."
