I am currently a student at San Francisco State University. I run a skateboarding program where I teach kids how to skateboard privately. I love working with children because it gives me a better understanding on what’s going on in their mind because my major is sociology the study of human behavior.!

Hi everyone! My name is Anne and I graduated from Oregon State University in 2021 with a Bioengineering degree and working in biotech! I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I am new to UrbanSitter but would love to begin working consistently full time or part time :) I’m available any time any day! I can also provide external references if necessary.

As for animals, I love love love love them and would love to help take care of your furry friends!

Anne is amazing! She helped with my 9 year old and 12 year old with afternoon jobs as well as occasional evenings, including driving my daughter to soccer practices all over Marin. She is reliable, bright, kind and has a lot of fun with kids. We would absolutely hire Anne again and recommend her while-heartedly.

"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."

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)."
