Booked by 1 family in San Francisco, CA

Hi! My name is Yoselyn. I am from Peru and I speak Spanish and English. I have over 8 years of experience working with children through volunteering, babysitting, and childcare support. I am very patient, caring, honest, and responsible. I have taken childcare and infant care courses, and I am trained in first aid. I have also participated in volunteer work with children, which strengthened my passion for childcare. I truly enjoy supporting children's development and helping them learn, explore, and grow in a safe and positive environment. I always prioritize children's safety and emotional well-being. I am looking for a respectful and safe environment where I can support families and be part of children's daily routine. In my spare time, I enjoy swimming, watching movies, riding my bike, exploring new places, and hiking. I would love the opportunity to bring my experience, care, and positive energy to your family and support your children's growth.

Yoselyn was great with my baby. She was always caring, patient, and dependable. I would definitely recommend her to any family looking for a kind and trustworthy nanny.

Hello! My name is Adriana, I was born and raised in the Bay Area. I’m currently a student at chabot college.

San Leandro
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in San Francisco, CA

I have 14 years of experience in working with children from ages newborn to 12 years of age . I have held positions as a Teacher's Aid, Teacher's Assistant, Nursery School Teacher, night Nanny , and professional Nanny. General activities I've preformed include: potty training, physical and mental play activities, bottle preparation, food preparation, social and cognitive skill training. I also have experience preparing food for and feeding children with special feeding needs, such as via gastronomy tube. Key responsibilities I've held include maintaining schedules for children and facilitating a healthy learning curriculum. I take pride in my work, and that translates into a very strong work ethic. I am also a naturally fun-loving person who understands when there is a time for play and a time for seriousness. Entertaining children comes very easy for me. I am a health-conscious and appreciate a healthy lifestyle that includes exercise and good eating habits.

Kinshasa is an amazing caregiver who we’ve worked with for years. She started with my newborn and has a ton of experience with infant sleep. My kids are now almost 3 and 6, and Kinshasa is basically their favorite caregiver. She is fun, warm, and firm with them when appropriate. For a long time, my younger son would not willingly leave me (his mom) for anyone…except Kinshasa. She told me that her job is to make parents lives’ easier and that is truly what she does. I highly recommend her.

"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)."
