:::Attention::: Full time availability July to Late-August. Would love to help you out during the summer and maintain a long term occasional/semi-regular babysitting/nanny relationship. Hello families! I am professional nanny on the hunt for wonderful families and children to work with! I have 20 years of experience as a professional nanny and family/household assistant caring for children ranging from 1 month of age to 11-years-old. I have worked with many families in their homes in the Bay Area and abroad, caring for children of all backgrounds. I view myself as a loving "big sister" who will take care of a child's basic needs with love and attention, and also do lots of playing and developmental activities such as reading, playing outdoors, drawing, singing, clean-up time...all the fun things! I value safety first, both emotional and physical, when working with children. I also value their growth and nurture a sense of adventure and confidence in their abilities to learn and grow! I am a San Francisco Native, born and (mainly) bred in The Mission as well as all four corners of The Bay Area and have 12 years of experience driving children around the City (I have been driving since I was 16-years-old and am 43 now 😌). I have a master’s in French (I lived in France for three years) and I am also a Native Spanish speaker as I am first-generation American. I would love to send you my résumé and tell you about my experience, and I will most definitely be looking forward to hearing more about your family. P.S. I only have a few reviews because I usually work with my nanny agency as generally I am a career nanny that keeps positions for two years minimum but I am more than happy to send you my references and/or meet with you so we can get a feel for each other’s vibes. P.P.S. My rates stated on here can be flexible depending on the number of children and tasks. My rates are flexible for very occasional babysitting, so please reach out even if your budget is a bit lower.

Hi families! My name is Katerine and I’m 29 years old. I am a friendly, warm and patient person who enjoys spending free time outdoors with my pet. I love looking after children and supporting their learning journey by playing with them and engaging in various indoor and outdoor activities that enrich their knowledge and motor skills; and I also love learning from them; they really are great teachers. I am currently working full time with 2 kids (4yo and 3yo). I’ve been working with them since January 2024, it’s been a very cute and fun journey. I still work occasionally with families that I have contacted by this app. I was an au pair for 2 years and I have experience with children for a little over 7 years. My experience ranges from babies (3 months) to children aged 10-15 years old. If you have any questions, please send me a message and we can get to know each other better :)

"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)."
