Booked by 2 families in San Francisco, CA

Nanny with over 5 years of experience working with children. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, with experience in potty training and sleep training. I have a driver’s license, work permit and my own car. I enjoy cooking light meal for kids. I’m currently looking for a part-time nanny position in the mornings. I speak English, Portuguese, and some Spanish. In my free time, I study music (guitar) and dance class. I would be happy to share my references. 😊

We hired Marcela 3 days last week and we really liked her positive attitude. My 2 years old easily felt comfortable with Marcela. Marcela played with her toys inside and in our backyard. We will definitely hire her again.

"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)."
