Booked by 1 family in San Francisco, CA

I’m a former K-8 special education teacher with four years of experience working with students with mild to moderate disabilities. I’ve also been babysitting and coaching youth soccer for over 10 years. I love hanging out with kids, helping them learn new things, and making sure they have a fun, positive experience. I’m available for tutoring, babysitting, pet sitting, and house sitting, and I’m happy to help out however I can. A Little More About Me I love being outdoors -- hiking, biking, playing sports, and swimming are some of my favorite ways to spend my free time. Excited to meet you and your family!

Couldn’t have been happier with her communication, responsiveness, and attentiveness. Last minute scheduling, booking, and lots of info from me in a brief period of time - and I felt such a good vibe and feeling of trust the entire time. She was great with my 18m old, who is a very busy boy (and our dog!). Would love to have Kay back at ours in the future!

Hello - My name is Alex. I am offering childcare, household and pet sitting services. I love being a babysitter and enjoy working with children. I have been watching infants, toddlers, and kids 3+ since I was 16 years old. My most recent experience includes working at an infant daycare with children ages 0-2 here in San Francisco.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
