Greetings Everyone! My name is Genèvieve, I am a Rāja and Jivamukti Yoga Instructor, an Activist/Advocate Leader (policy/law), in human trafficking and Founder of a Women’s Outdoor Organization.

I maintain a positive outlook in life. I am a person who believes that everything in life matters. One of my greatest qualities is my connection with children. Children are little philosophers, they are bright, resilient and intelligent little people, they watch us closely and sense us on an energetic level. My focus in supporting their development is through activating their neurological brain chemistry and sensory mechanics. When we understand the function of these models, children can evolve through conscious evolution. It is enriching to teach important life skill practices to children. In addition, my connection with children come in a form of lovingness, friendliness, playfulness, creativity, and ensuring that I provide a safe environment where they can blossom, find their authentic self to freely express who they are and most importantly, that they trust me. With this wealth at hand, a healthy relationship is born. Personal Interests & Hobbies Yoga, Zazen, sauntering trails, camping, backpacking, paddle boarding, swimming, cooking, photography, road trips, documentary, dance, reading and love dogs and cats! Non-violent communication, conflict resolution in communities. Offering outdoor yoga women’s retreats.

Certifications: CPR/First Aid/AED Certified. Clean driving record. Certified Yoga, Swimming and Rock Climbing Instructor. Covid, Tdap and Flue vaccinated. If you feel a connection, I would love to hear from you. Genèvieve T. Aka Ms. G

Hi, my name is Daniela, but you can call me Abby! ☺️ I’m a student at San Francisco State, holding an Associate's Degree in psychology, and I am currently pursuing my Bachelor's. I am fluent in Spanish and English, and I am a beginner in Portuguese and ASL. I am also CPR Certified! My passion has always been working with children. Which is why my major is Psychology, and I am looking forward to achieving my goal of becoming a speech pathologist. As the oldest daughter among my three younger siblings, I began caring for them from the time they were newborns until they reached toddler age. I worked as an after-school lead teacher for Transitional Kindergarten through 3rd grade for two years, which provided me with experience working with children aged 4-12 years old. I’ve gained knowledge in tutoring, crafting, and taking care of their emotional needs, as well as managing a daily schedule with 20+ kids at the same time. I currently have 9 ECE (Childcare) Credits for the following classes: - Child Development. - Children With Special Needs. - Strategies for Special Needs. Now I’m working as a Special Education Teacher Assistant with children of various ages, from preschool to Middle School, while also doing babysitting on the side. Thank you for allowing me to show love through my work! ☺️

Daniela did a great and thorough job cleaning the apartment!

"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
