Claudia $35 per hour for 1 child

As a proud San Francisco native and mother of three amazing young adults, I bring over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for children from birth to 5 years old. Supporting little ones through their earliest milestones has been one of the greatest joys of my life — both as a parent and as a caregiver. I have completed units in Child Development, which have strengthened my understanding of early childhood growth, learning styles, and age-appropriate care. I truly love being part of a child’s development — watching them take their first steps, say their first words, and grow in confidence. Being a steady, nurturing presence and part of a family’s support system means everything to me. As a bilingual caregiver fluent in English and Spanish, I enjoy incorporating language, culture, and creativity into daily activities. I am especially proud to share my Latino heritage with the families I work alongside, bringing warmth, tradition, and cultural appreciation into the home. I strive to create a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children feel secure, supported, and encouraged to thrive. I can provide references upon request.

I’m a warm, reliable caregiver with hands-on experience supporting children, seniors, pets, and busy households. I’m calm, attentive, and deeply invested in creating a safe, nurturing environment where kids feel secure and supported. I’m fully vaccinated, child and infant CPR certified, and known for being proactive, organized, and trustworthy. I don’t just watch children—I care for them as if they’re my own, and families quickly feel the difference.

"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)."
