Booked by 1 family in San Francisco, CA

Hi! I’m Mara, 26 years old, an experienced and passionate nanny. With a background in Early Childhood Education, I bring warmth, structure, and creativity to each child’s daily routine. I have hands-on experience caring for infants and toddlers, providing nurturing support with feeding, burping, soothing, naps, tummy time, and sensory play. I love going on walks, visiting the library, reading books, and supporting early developmental milestones through play. With older children, I enjoy creating fun and meaningful experiences through games, dancing, storytelling, puzzles, and outings to parks, museums, and libraries. I focus on creating a safe, loving, and stimulating environment where children feel secure, seen, and encouraged to grow. In addition to childcare, I also offer pet sitting services. I have experience caring for cats and dogs and truly enjoy spending time with animals.

“Mara is fantastic! She is punctual, responsible, and very kind. She connects easily with our 5-year-old and keeps him engaged with fun activities while ensuring he is safe and well cared for. We truly appreciate her positive energy and would gladly recommend her to other families.”

"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)."
