My name is Konani Bueno-Lama, and I am a dedicated and compassionate caregiver with over two years of experience in both childcare and elderly care.

Siena $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I have over 10 years of experience providing various forms of childcare, as well as 2 years of experience working in formal school settings as a kindergarten & preschool teacher. Some of the things I can offer are as follows: transportation to & from school or appointments, meal prep, tutoring or help with school assignments, assistance with pets, house cleaning, and more! I love spending time with children of all ages & backgrounds & would be thrilled to provide support to your family in any way I can! Especially happy working with neurodivergent children & queer families. I am currently in the process of applying for and completing prerequisites for midwifery school, so when I’m not caring for kiddos, you can find me volunteering at a local birth center or deeply engrossed in a book!

Holly $18 per hour for 1 child

My name is Holly and I have experience nannying, senior care-giving, petsitting, and babysitting infants under a year old. I started babysitting when I was 14, and when I was 20 I started nannying for families. I am CPR and First-Aid Certified. I have 5 years of pet-sitting experience, 5 years of experience nannying school-age children, 3 years of experience watching infants, and 2 years of experience with senior-caregiving. The most important characteristics of a nanny or caregiver to me would be that they are patient, kind, understanding, and responsible. I excercise all of those principles as a nanny or caregiver!

"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
