Booked by 25 families in San Francisco, CA

Hello! My name is Mila and I'm a recent college graduate living with my cat, Blanca. I love art, cooking and fashion. My hobby at the moment is doing nail art, so sometimes you'll see me with funky nails on; red is my favorite color, but I love blue as well! I love being a babysitter, and have been babysitting since I was 18 (at times 16 and younger!). I've had a lot of experience with all ages, but I find I'm my best with toddlers and young teens. I've also been working at a babysitter company for around 4 years on and off. Throughout my time as a babysitter, I've learned what it means to be patient, resilient, and kind, especially to the most misunderstood. As a passionate artist myself, I love the words "creativity" and "color." When kids want to dive into a creative atmosphere and get their hands messy, I'm sure to help them imagine it. But that's not all– when it comes to tutoring, reading sessions, daytime walks to the park or around the neighborhood, I'm happy to socialize and keep them moving along. With over two years of experience for children with autism (both verbal and non-verbal), I am prepared to take on any challenges associated with babysitting. Kids deserve to have their voices heard, and I want to make sure that they are able to express how they feel with a helping hand. I'm learning how to drive at the moment, so I'll handle driving in the future hopefully! Thank you for reading!

"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)."
