I really enjoy working with kids and being a part of their learning journey and experiences. I also enjoy helping parents and families to make life a little easier! I have more than 7 years of experience taking care of children in their home setting. During the school year I work within San Francisco Public Schools as a mental health therapist with elementary and middle school aged children. Let's set up a time to video chat or have a phone call before the initial babysitting start date, so I can learn more about your family and what you are looking for! I look forward to hearing from you!

“Ilana was great. On time and communicative and even on a night where they could just watch movies she mixed in some pauses and games to get the kids moving and not just being tv zombies. ”

Hi! My name is Wendy. I’m a 24-year-old Oakland native (turning 25 this year) with over 5 years of childcare experience and a deep passion for supporting children and families. I am also a proud mom to a six-month-old baby, which has strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and understanding of how important trust and communication are when caring for someone’s child. I recently completed two years as an AmeriCorps Student Support Specialist at an OUSD elementary school, where I provided behavior support, social-emotional support, and math interventions for students ages 4–12. I worked closely with teachers, administrators, and school psychologists to help students feel supported and successful. Following that role, I worked at Lodestar High School supporting students with diverse and more intensive behavioral and academic needs. That experience strengthened my skills in behavior management, de-escalation strategies, structured routines, and individualized support. I bring many years of babysitting experience through UrbanSitter, caring for children ages 1–16, along with hands-on newborn experience through my extended family and now as a mother. I am fluent in English and Spanish and come from a large extended family, which has shaped my nurturing and adaptable personality. I am committed to creating a safe, structured, and loving environment where children can thrive. I prioritize clear communication with families about routines, meals, and expectations because I understand that every family has unique parenting styles and needs. In addition to childcare, I also have experience and offer house sitting and pet sitting services for cats and dogs. I also have a background in housekeeping, so maintaining a clean and organized home is always part of my care. In my free time, I enjoy hiking and rock climbing and staying active outdoors. I look forward to supporting your family and providing dependable, thoughtful care for your children and home.

Hi! I'm Jocelyn, a bilingual (English & Spanish) caregiver with over 5 years of hands-on babysitting experience I've worked with children from 2 months to 13 years old in a variety of settings, including in-home care, school programs, and nonprofit internship focused on food education for kids. I'm CPR and First Aid certified. I'm energetic, patient, and love connecting with each child on their level - whether that means getting down on the floor , reading the same book three times in a row, or taking stroller strolls to the park. I've cared for over 20 kiddos through Care. com and UrbanSitter and consistently nannied for families with toddlers, infants, and school-aged children. Most of the families I've worked with have had toddlers, so I'm experienced with nap time, meals, and outdoor play. I also enjoy helping older kids with homework and finding fun ways to connect. Working with children brings me joy - I love learning what makes each child unique. Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have. I look forward to meeting your family and providing the best care for your children!

"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)."
