I’m currently a freshman in college. I have been working for care.com for the past 6 months and I heard a lot of good reviews about urban sitter so I want to give it a try. I’m the second oldest and I have helped take care of all my younger siblings while my parents were at work as well. I know how to cook, make baby bottles, change diapers, burp, and entertain children. I have great patience. I’ve always wanted to be in the medical field. specifically for a neonatologist or pediatrician. My youngest sister has autism and I’ve taken classes with my mother to find out different ways to help and benefit her in anyway possible. I can say I have experience with autism children as well.

Hi Families, I’m Mari, I am a SF native and mommy of one. I have previously worked for licensed daycare/preschool facilities as both a Receptionist and Teacher Assistant. I’ve always have had a passion for learning and teaching young children. I started with YMCA as an After School program leader and have also worked for Ronald McDonald House of Charities helping to plan and lead programs and activities (mostly arts and crafts) for patients and families. It’s amazing to see little ones grow and learn new skills, even in just one day! I am looking forward to getting to know you and your little ones. I’m happy to answer more questions, please feel free to reach out. Have a wonderful day, Mari

"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)."
