Hello, I am new to Urban Sitter but have many years of nanny experience and I would love to support a family in a meaningful way. Caring for children is something I truly enjoy, and I will make sure to create a safe, loving, and positive environment where kids can grow, learn, and feel supported every day. My goal as a nanny is not only to help care for children, but also to make life a little easier for the family. I have been a nanny in the past for a many families with children of all ages.

Gillian $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Gillian. I have a Bachelor's degree in Education and have been working with children of all ages and abilities for over 10 years. For the last two years, I have worked as an educational behavior specialist and care coordinator, supporting kids and families in school settings. I’ve also been a summer camp counselor (Camp Galileo, Camp Kesem), preschool aide, and worked at a children’s museum (Pretend City), so I’m very comfortable jumping into different environments and connecting with kids in a way that works best for them. I like to be an active, engaged sitter, whether that means getting creative with an art project, playing a game, reading together, or going to the park. I enjoy building on each child's interests and finding activities we can genuinely enjoy together. I also know every family has their own routines and preferences, and I'm happy to follow what works best in your home. Ultimately, I want kids to have fun and feel at ease with me while giving parents the peace of mind that they're in capable, caring hands. In my free time, I love cooking and am currently into experimenting with new sourdough recipes. I minored in Graphic Design in college and am working on illustrating a children’s book alongside my other creative pursuits like sewing, polymer clay, and scrapbooking. I like to get outside every day, whether that is exploring the different neighborhoods of SF, going on hikes, or reading at Golden Gate Park.

"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)."
