Booked by 6 families in San Francisco, CA

Hello everyone, my name is Romy Carballo, I have been a babysitter for 8 years, I’m CPR certified and here I share with you a little about how I am at my job: I have taken care of babies newborns to 6 years old, I like to teach them to speak, identify shapes, letters , numbers and colors; potty training. The tasks I perform as a babysitter are keeping the baby's room/play area tidy, bathing them, feeding them, preparing snacks, washing their bottles, doing their laundry. I like to spend time with the babies playing, singing, dancing and teaching; because children are a joy for life, I am very responsible with my duties at work and very transparent to communicate, my first language is Spanish but I also speak English; I will be very happy to be part of your family as a nanny.

I’m a Substitute Teacher for OUSD. I’m thoughtful, organized and caring. I like to engage children in educational activities instead of watching TV. Coloring, playing, baking cookies and reading are typically the preferred activities. I’ve worked with children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I'm well qualified to help with homework, reading, potty training and taking a child to the doctor. I’m available Monday-Friday + weekends too. My calendar is up to date.

"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)."
