Booked by 43 families in Forest Knolls, CA

Bringing joy and nurturing care to children has been my passion for the past nine years. My experience spans all ages, from newborns to pre-teens, and I am comfortable caring for up to three children at a time. I'm patient, creative, and approachable, and I believe in making a positive impact on each child's life. I enjoy playing outdoor games, educational activities, and even some technology-based games! I'm also comfortable enforcing household rules. Communication is key, so l provide regular updates via text or phone, and I'm happy to follow your preferred method. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, have my own car, and am comfortable with pets. As a bonus, I speak Spanish and Sign Language (ASL). Knowing I can support your family and provide a safe, fun, and reliable childcare option brings me immense satisfaction.

“Yesica was a wonderful sitter for our two kids. She was perfectly on time and immediately started playing fun games outside. She even did a cute hairstyle on our toddler (which is very difficult to do!!) we can’t wait to have her back over soon. ”

Hi, My name is Francielly I’m 32 years old, from Brazil. I have been living in the Bay Area since December 2015. I came as an au pair and worked with the same family for two and a half years (and still babysit for them sometimes) The kids were 14months old girl and newborn twin boys when I started. After that in August 2018 I started working with a 8 months old baby as a nanny live out and I have been with them since. After a year we welcomed another baby. I worked for this family for 4 and a half years. Since 2022 I have been working with a family full time. The baby was 2.5 months when I started. I’m flexible and I love to be around kids, specially babies, for me is really compensated to see the babies growing up and learning new things, be able to teach and see them developing its amazing rewarding. I have been babysitting and working with a lot of families and have plenty of experience with infants and toddlers, also I have a few experiences with other kids ages. I’m CPR certified and have all my vaccinations updated. I’m also TrustLine registered. I’m looking for a full time position for September 2024. Thank you Fran

"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."

"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)."
