Booked by 1 family in San Francisco, CA

Hi! I am Julie and am a teacher and am from Colombia. I currently watch a 8 year old and 5 year old, but have been with her since she was born. I am looking for a part time job on my mornings: Monday, Wednesday and Friday (9:00am to 1:30pm) and do well with kids of all ages. I am a good driver . I can prepare meals, pack lunches and head to the park, take the children to museums and overall I ensure they’re happy and tired enough to get a good nights sleep! I am helpful with laundry. Being a former teacher I often teach reading and writing and love to play learning games to help kids accelerate their Spanish and school readiness overall.

Booked by 14 families in San Francisco, CA

Greetings! My name is Agyashree, and I also go by Aggy (Ah-gee). I am a part-time Paraprofessional II with the South San Francisco Unified School District, currently working at Junipero Serra Elementary School. I have over four years of experience supporting children in both school and home settings, including those with Autism and other developmental disabilities. In my current role, I provide individualized and group instruction based on IEPs, assist with academics, implement behavior support plans, and help with daily routines such as feeding, hygiene, and mobility support. In addition to my school experience, I worked for over two years with a teenager with cerebral palsy. During this time, I assisted with safe transfers using a wheelchair and ceiling lift, supported feeding (including feeding tube assistance), administered medications, and maintained hygiene and comfort. I also focused on emotional well-being by engaging him in activities like music and reading, and used communication tools to better understand and respond to his needs. I also have experience in senior care, supporting a client with dementia and diabetes with daily routines, medication and insulin administration, meal preparation, and companionship. I am patient, reliable, and dedicated to providing safe, compassionate, and attentive care. I look forward to meeting you and your family! I look forward to meeting you and 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."

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)."
