Booked by 39 families in Alameda, CA

Hi! I’m Amarilis. A few facts about me: I’m very crafty, I love nature, space, the ocean, anything peaceful I enjoy! I’m 25 years old, I grew up in the Bay Area, I was born in Oakland and raised in San Francisco. Both my parents are from Guatemala so I am open to speaking Spanish! I graduated in Spring 2024 at SFSU with a Bachelors in Psychology with a Minor in Health Education. I have worked with children for about 5 years, I have prior experience working at a pre-school and home sessions, as a teacher assistant, Behavior Therapist and now im currently working as a Bilingual Early Intervention Therapist. I have experience working with ages range from 7 months- 12 years old. I’ve always held a passion in helping kids from all age range while being a facilitator. My current role allows me to grow and work with kids and families who are experiencing delays through child-led play. I love working with kids and seeing their potential and I believe they deserve patience to learn and grow.

“Amarilis was super friendly, approachable, and punctual. Our daughter warmed right up to her and had a blast drawing and playing games while we were out. Will definitely hire again!”

"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

"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)."
