Hello! My name is Tenzin, and I am currently a college student completing my healthcare prerequisites with plans to pursue a career in healthcare. I am CPR certified and have always enjoyed caring for others. I am dependable, patient, organized, and energetic. I love creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable and parents have peace of mind.   I have several years of hands-on experience helping care for my younger sister and my elementary school-aged brother. I also have 2 years of experience helping care for the elderly. Through this experience, I have learned how to keep children engaged, help with daily routines, encourage positive behavior, and adapt to each child's unique personality and needs. I like chatting with kids through the elderly, spending time outdoors, reading books, or helping with schoolwork.    I can assist with meal preparation, bath time, bedtime routines, laundry, light housekeeping, and transportation to camps, sports practices, or appointments using my own car. My goal is to make life a little easier for busy families while providing compassionate care for your loved one!

Booked by 1 family in Tacoma, WA

Hi! I'm Shylene. With a deep passion for childcare and extensive experience, I’ve had the privilege of working at KinderCare and Right At School, where I created safe, nurturing spaces for children ages 5-12. As a Program Manager, I developed engaging activities, supported homework time, and prepared snacks with careful attention to dietary needs. I’m highly skilled in meeting children’s individual needs, including managing allergies, and keeping accurate records. Beyond these roles, I’ve also enjoyed babysitting for children ages 0-4, where I provide loving care by feeding, bathing, and building strong emotional connections. Since a kid I was always told I had a motherly nature. Aside from babysitting I worked as a Teaching Fellow, and worked closely with K-1st graders, fostering their learning while maintaining open and clear communication with families. My experiences ensure I can bring dependable, compassionate, and tailored care to your family.

"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)."
