Hi, my name is Alexandra! I recently graduated with a B. S. in Cell and Molecular Biology and am currently looking for babysitting or childcare opportunities as I prepare to welcome my own baby this November. I plan to return to my field afterward, but for now, I'd love to support families through childcare or tutoring. I have years of independent childcare experience and recently worked at the Early Childhood Education Center at San Francisco State. I've taken courses in early childhood development and enjoy working with kids of all ages. I find childcare to be incredibly fulfilling. Being part of a child's growth and learning is both rewarding and fascinating. I love supporting families and watching children explore, grow, and overcome challenges. It's meaningful work that I truly value. I enjoy engaging in activities that make learning fun and meaningful for children. With younger age groups, I love incorporating playful learning through songs, stories, and hands-on activities. I also enjoy baking simple recipes together, exploring nature at local parks, and doing creative arts and crafts that allow children to express themselves and build fine motor skills. One thing you should know about me is that I'm very respectful of the different values, routines, and parenting styles that each family has. I always do my best to follow your preferences and support your household in a way that feels consistent, thoughtful, and aligned with your needs.

Hello! I’m a fun-loving nanny who believes the best days are spent being active and curious. From backyard adventures and local park trips to building LEGO masterpieces and arts and crafts, I love staying hands-on. I’m highly dependable, CPR-certified, and comfortable with pets. My goal is to make sure your kids are happy, healthy, and tired by the time you get home! I have 3+ years of experience with children aged 1-12. I am always open to helping out with behind the scenes tasks like laundry or dishes. I look forward to becoming a trusted extension of 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."

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)."

Eric D., dad of two
