Booked by 2 families in Oakland, CA

I’m a responsible, experienced, oldest daughter with 5 younger siblings with a large age gap. I spent the majority of my teen years babysitting and watching my siblings. I also have had two full time nanny jobs for children ranging from 4-13. I have experience with children with autism, food intolerances, and medical conditions. I’ve done part time babysitting and nannying jobs here in San Francisco for the last 3 years now as well. Overall I’m someone who loves children and has plenty of experience both professionally and personally. I also am very self sufficient and well versed in running errands and driving around the city. I look forward to any new opportunities to continue doing what I love!

Victoria was great! We’d gladly have her back. My nine year old daughter especially loved hanging out with her

As a dedicated and experienced Newborn and Childcare Specialist, I am passionate about providing exceptional care for newborns and young children, with a strong focus on their health, safety, and overall well-being.

In addition, I have experience working as a preschool teacher in a Spanish immersion program, where I supported early learning and language development in a nurturing and engaging environment.

With hands-on experience in feeding, and age-appropriate care, I support both children and their families with reliability, patience, and compassion.

Eunice $36 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Eunice, and I’m a professional nanny and household manager with a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education and a minor in Special Education. I bring a thoughtful, developmentally informed approach to childcare, with experience caring for children from infancy through school age. I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel supported, understood, and confident to grow. I believe every child is unique, and I take the time to observe their interests and needs in order to guide learning through play, routine, and consistency. I value structure while remaining flexible and responsive to each child’s individual temperament. In my experience, children thrive when they feel secure and respected. I focus on building strong connections, supporting emotional regulation, and encouraging independence in age-appropriate ways. Whether it’s planning enriching activities, facilitating social outings, or supporting daily routines, I approach each day with intention and care. Along with childcare, I am experienced in household support, including child-related laundry, meal prep, organizing, and maintaining a clean and calm environment. I work collaboratively with parents and value open, respectful communication, always aiming to support the overall well-being of the family. Families would describe me as calm, reliable, attentive, and proactive. I take pride in being someone you can trust to care for your children with both professionalism and genuine warmth. I am currently seeking a long-term position in the East Bay and would love the opportunity to support a family in a meaningful and lasting way

"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)."
