Update on 09/28/2026 I work as a contractor currently, and am available for occasional or one-time requests at the moment. Please reach out with specific date & time, I should be able to give you a clear answer. Hello! My name is Soo. I have a passion for life of faith in Jesus, food and soccer. I have years of experiences working with children in different age groups in personal and professional settings as a babysitter, camp leader, after school program teacher, paraprofessional and substitute teacher/support school staff around the Bay Area in grades of TK to 5th. Working with children isn’t a smooth sailing but I actually really enjoy working with children, the cutie pies. I provide a place for your child to thrive in a play-based environment. I am not only present just for the sake of keeping a watch, but I strive to provide an environment and supervision where I foster and curate the day based children’s interests and minister to their emotional and educational growth as I learn to understand your child. Instead of harsh language and facial expressions, I seek connection through patience, understanding and empathy, knowing that they are still learning. I was crazy kid myself. As I grew older, I noticed how I was always surrounded by children, and I think I was a pretty popular playmate. I love many memories where we picked figs from the backyard, bake peach pies or just spend time in a competitive game of Tic Tac To, being this older sister I always wanted to have. I am an expert park-ranger and from the fancy skills of pushing two children on the swings, or making the greatest sand art, I make sure they have an awesome time with me. I’ve played collegiate level sports, and also have spent years to train as an artist. I am physically active with children. Parents have shown appreciation for the activities I‘ve provided, and I don’t leave work of cleaning up afterwards. I would love an opportunity to fill in as you step out to do what you need to do that day. They need good food, laughter and exercise. That is my priority. During our booking, I am not on the phone for personal use or entertainment. I use it as a tool to communicate or share updates with you. I am open to feedbacks and I appreciate transparency in our communication. If your child is SICK, please do let me know beforehand and be courteous. I’m looking forward to meeting with your family. It is a challenging time to raise children. Go mom & dad !!!

“Soo was able to come last minute to help with our son while his nanny was out sick, and immediately engaged with him and had a great day together, with lots of updates on how things were going and pics of their adventures. ”

Hello! I’m Tatiana. I’m the eldest of 5, and my youngest sibling is 4 years old. We have so much fun– I love crafting, reading, drawing, and especially teaching them Spanish (I studied + tutored Spanish in university, would be happy to teach your kids too). I’ve watched babies as young as 4 months old, and enjoy working with toddlers and older kids alike :) I’ve interned at an occupational therapy clinic, working with kids on the autism spectrum and/or sensory sensitivities. I also love pet sitting, I’ve worked with adults with intellectual disabilities, and most recently worked at a retirement home. Basically, I can work with any and everyone! I’d be happy to meet you and your family to see if we’d make a good fit! 😄

"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)."
