Argentina $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Argentina and I’m originally from Italy. For the past 2 years, I’ve been working as an au pair in San Francisco, taking care of four children aged 0 to 6 years old. This experience has given me a deep understanding of childcare at every stage—from newborn needs to early childhood development. My responsibilities have included feeding, diaper changes, sleep routines, preschool drop-offs, activity planning, preparing meals, playtime, bath and bedtime, and light household help. I love creating a warm and nurturing environment where children feel safe, understood, and loved. In Italy, I studied human sciences with a focus on psychology and education, and I’ve always had a passion for working with kids, having helped raise my younger siblings and cousins. I speak English and Italian , am certified in CPR and First Aid, and am confident managing multiple children at once. I’m also pet-friendly, organized, and happy to help with light cleaning and errands. Families often describe me as reliable, sweet, patient, and creative. I truly care about building meaningful connections with both kids and parents. If you’re looking for someone experienced, energetic, and genuinely passionate about childcare, I’d love to support your family!

"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)."
