Booked by 6 families in Pacifica, CA

Hi! I’m Melisa 😊 I’m new to UrbanSitter, but I have over 7 years of experience working with children of different ages. I started my childcare journey as an Au Pair for 2 years and later worked as a live-out nanny for another 2 years. I also have professional experience as an Early Childhood Educator working with young children in a classroom setting. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a certification in Early Childhood Education, which have given me a strong understanding of children’s emotional, social, and developmental needs. I’m also a certified 200-hour Yoga Teacher, and I love incorporating mindfulness, movement, and creativity into my time with children. I enjoy outdoor activities, arts and crafts, reading, imaginative play, and simply having fun while following each child’s interests. I’m calm, patient, reliable, and I always try to create an environment where children feel safe, comfortable, and free to be themselves. Outside of childcare, I enjoy yoga, hiking, traveling, reading, and spending time outdoors.

Hello Families! My name is Maria. I love being a babysitter and have been watching infants,toddlers and kids (including twins!). My responsibilities have included drop off and pick up from school, preparing meals , tidying and organizing children’s bedrooms and play areas , preparing bottles, diaper changes, maintaining daily routines (naps, bath time, bedtime) and a lot of activities outside and inside the house. I am a violin teacher, and I love incorporating music into children’s daily activities!! I am First Aid and CPR certified . I am comfortable working in a home with pets!

“Maria did an incredible job taking care of our twin babies! She filled in for us at the last minute and didn’t miss a beat. She fed them, changed them, took them on an outing, and got them down for a nap, all in a house that was new to her. And the twins seemed to love her. We highly recommend Maria. ”

"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)."
