Alisha $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Alisha, and I’d love the opportunity to help your family. I have five years of experience working in schools with younger children, and as one of six siblings, I’m very familiar with managing different moods, busy schedules, and unexpected situations. Early mornings, cooking breakfast, and keeping things running smoothly are second nature to me. I’m currently working toward my CNA license and I’m trained in basic life support. I’m comfortable with meal prepping, light housekeeping, and picking up the kids—as long as you’re okay with me taking the bus for now. Just a quick note: I’m afraid of cats, but dogs are completely fine with me. For personal reasons, I’m not vaccinated, but I’m more than willing to take a weekly COVID test and wear a mask if that makes you feel more comfortable. I’d truly love the chance to help if you’ll have me. References: Jazmana Yarnway +1 [removed] J’ella (415) 573-9664

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

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)."
