Hello! I’m Lia :) I’m an experienced and passionate baby sitter and Mothers helper, that’s was born and raised in San Francisco. I’m a student at CCSF, earning my associates in childhood development, and law. I have been a babysitter/nanny for 4.5 years now caring for infants to tweens, and have also worked as a summer counselor for kids ranging from K-8 for 3 years, tending for a number of kids while also coordinating activities and holding a schedule. In my free time I like to cook/bake, write/read and play the guitar! If you’re looking for a creative, flexible and screen free babysitter, I can’t wait to get to know you and your family more! ——— I do ask for an initial facetime/zoom call for safety reasons for interview If you have any more questions please feel free to message me. Thank you for taking the time to read :D

Our regular helper was on vacation, so we were looking for someone to fill in and help with after-dinner clean up. Lia was responsive with her communication, polite in person, and effective with cleaning. We recommend and are planning on working with her again.

Madessa $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Madessa. I'm a loving and gentle caregiver with a true passion for working with children. I've spent one wonderful year as a preschool teacher and two years as a child caregiver. I have taken Early Childhood Education courses at CCSF. The children I've worked with always hold a special place in my heart. I'm so lucky that many families from my preschool days still keep in touch and ask me to babysit. I'm calm, patient and tuned in to each child's needs. Safety and trust are very important to me. I always bring a kind, attentive and responsible presence into the home. I'm also happy to help with light housekeeping to keep things running smoothly. I truly love what I do and I look forward to meeting your little one :)

Yasmin $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Yasmin and I’m a freelance Caregiver. I’m looking to give your child the patience, understanding, and care they deserve. I have experience in seasonal daycare work, drop off/pickup, housekeeping, and animal care. Though I’ve only recently started in professional childcare, the joy I’ve felt from working with young ones has left me determined to immerse myself in the profession. I have experience working with children between the ages of 4 months- 5 years old. I’m interested in working with children of all ages and all developmental stages. Outside of work, I’m passionate about working outside in the garden, nature-based crafts, handiwork, and making creative seasonal and foraged meals. If you feel this aligns with your child and their schedule, I’d be more than happy to share my passions in whatever way you see fit. Thank you so much for taking the time to read, and I’m looking forward to talking!

"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)."
