I have been using development tools for years such as Kinedu and Baby-Led Weaning. Apps designed to support parents in nurturing their child's development through play as well providing foods that are nutritious for babies in a way that they can handle them. I’m bilingual, English-Spanish and I enjoy teaching these languages through reading, singing, play time and throughout their daily’s routine. I’m a sporting person, I like swimming, gymnastics and I workout regularly to keep myself healthy. I have experience taking the kids to swimming classes, gymnastics, and outdoors- indoors activities. I’m a Montessori fan and I’m happy to share my knowledge and experience to help your kids in a fun way to use it, love it and apply it in their lives as in their playrooms, bedrooms, pantries, meal times, hygiene routines, schooling activities and more. I’m a tidy person so I love helping out families at home. My background is in child development as well in nursing. I’m currently a CNA. I have great references from the families I’ve worked for and I’ll be happy to share them with you. Feel free to reach out to me, I’d love to get to know your family, share smiles with your little ones and be helpful in anything that you’ll need.

Sara is incredibly kind, caring, and conscientious. She was a wonderful caregiver for our son from when he was a little baby until he entered daycare. Sara is part of our family now; we cannot overstate how happy we are to have found her!

Booked by 14 families in Seattle, WA

Hi! I am a proactive, joyful, and hands-on caregiver with over 9 years of experience working with children from 6 months to 15 years old. I like to think that I bring more than just childcare, I bring intention. My approach focuses on helping kids build independence, confidence, and self-esteem through routines, choices, and age-appropriate responsibility. I grew up as a scout, so I’ve been leading, mentoring, and engaging with children from a young age. I’m calm under pressure, firm yet kind when setting boundaries, and always thinking one step ahead. I believe in open communication with parents and love collaborating on what works best for each child’s needs and personality. I’m also happy to share my native Spanish and basic French with kids in fun, natural ways. I’m CPR and first-aid certified, fully vaccinated, and comfortable with pets. Happy to talk more with you!

Leslie was fantastic! She was with us for a full week taking care of our 1 1/2 year old. He loved her. She had so many fun ideas of crafts and things to do together. They made cookies together even! She was great at asking questions and communicating with us. We would highly recommend working with Leslie!!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
