Emma San Francisco
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Emma, and I am currently looking for part time nanny positions. I absolutely love kids and have been caring for them since I was 12 years old. I have experience with children of all ages, from newborns through young teens. My nanny journey began at the YMCA, where I completed a babysitting course covering CPR, child development fundamentals, and safety. From there, I nannied consistently for over 10 years. I truly love working with children and once considered pursuing child development as a career. I took multiple child development courses in college, and after graduating from the University of California, Santa Barbara in June 2020, I worked as a "pod" teacher for a group of four children during COVID. I guided them academically and socially during a challenging time and facilitated daily enrichment activities including art projects, local field trips, outdoor learning, and movement based play to balance long hours on Zoom. While I ultimately chose to pursue a career in interior design, my love for kids has never changed, and I look forward to having my own someday! I am looking for occasional or part time consistent positions in San Francisco or the surrounding areas. I have no allergies. I would love to chat and learn more about your family!

"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)."
