Booked by 3 families in San Francisco, CA

Hi all! I’m a recent UC Berkeley graduate, and I’m also very passionate about Education and child-care which is why I’ve been tutoring, mentoring and babysitting for a while. At my most previous job, I worked at a Montessori school where I was an assistant teacher. I developed and implemented lesson plans and curriculum with assistance from Head teacher and learned to create a safe learning environment by establishing classroom rules and ensuring students follow behavioral standards. I love nannying and learning about how every child’s mind is unique. In my free time, I enjoy reading, traveling, and hanging out with family. I have references and a resume if needed.

“ Wonderful Babysitter with a Positive Attitude I've had the pleasure of having Amanda as my child's babysitter, and I couldn't be more satisfied. Amanda consistently brings a positive attitude to her work, which instantly puts my child at ease. She's incredibly thoughtful and attentive to my child's needs, always ensuring that they are comfortable and happy. I appreciate how proactive she is in engaging my child in fun and educational activities. Amanda is truly a gem, and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable and caring .”

"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)."
