Karime San Francisco
$30 per hour for 1 child

My name is Karime. I am a very reliable person with a lot of experience. I have three children: two girls aged 8 and 11 and a boy aged 14. I love babies, especially newborns. I really enjoy teaching them about art and helping them develop their skills. I am bilingual, hence I have taught my children to speak, write, and read Spanish. I am currently studying to update my skills and be a better example for my children. I have always loved animals, I had a dog that lived for 15 years, however, I am allergic to cats. I prefer to work on weekday mornings, but I am flexible. I also work as a domestic assistant and know how to cook, clean, and run errands. I have cared for my father during his illness and feel comfortable caring for elderly people. I know how to cook, take them to their appointments, or perform other tasks.

"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
