Subin San Francisco
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am currently building my profile on UrbanSitter, so while I don't have platform reviews yet, I pride myself on the same professionalism and punctuality I’ve maintained throughout my corporate career. I'd love the chance to prove my reliability to your family! ​My formal experience comes from working in a preschool in Japan, specifically with the 2–5 age group. Whether it’s managing group activities or one-on-one learning, I understand the developmental milestones of toddlers and young children. I also have extensive personal experience as a "pro-aunt/uncle" to my nieces and nephews, so I’m very comfortable with the daily rhythms of family life. ​Because of my corporate background, you can count on me to be punctual, communicative, and extremely responsible. I’m happy to incorporate light language learning or cultural activities if that interests your family!🤗😇😇

Dominique San Francisco
$40 per hour for 1 child

I'm a really dependable and caring nanny, and I've spent more than a decade taking care of kids professionally in San Francisco.I take care of babies, toddlers, and little kids. People often say I'm good at keeping in touch, really reliable, and that I pay close attention to what each kid needs as they grow. I'm all about the RIE approach when it comes to taking care of little ones. It basically means I try to be super respectful in how I interact with kids, keep things really consistent for them, and make sure their surroundings are calm and predictable.I help kids out by using play, hands-on stuff, and good chats, all while keeping up with their daily schedule like eating, napping, and moving from one thing to the next. I've worked with families that have one child and also ones with two. I am good at putting together light meals, like school lunches, snacks, and basic home cooked stuff. I’m cool with pets, too. A bunch of the families I've helped out had dogs and other animals around, so I'm used to it. I'm a punctual and dependable person, always on time, and I get around using public transportation and ride shares. I'm a nanny who really cares about bringing a good routine, a warm vibe, and peace of mind to 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."

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
