Lani San Francisco
$45 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Lani and I have been a dedicated caregiver for 10 years now. I graduated with a sociology degree from San Francisco State University. I'm comfortable with children of all ages – from engaging 6-month-old infants to supporting teenage development. Beyond childcare, I help with household assistance such as tidying up, dishes, laundry, errands, grocery shopping, mail packages, dry cleaners, meal prep/light cooking, and dog walking or pet care. I love taking care of children and always prioritize their safety and protection. One thing about me is that I am honest, trustworthy, and reliable (: CPR/first aid certified *Lots of References upon request

Studied in Child & Adolescent Devleopment, with a minor in Education. I began nannying as a youth, and have been working with children for over 6 years now, running before and after-school programs + summer camps, engaging with kids TK through high school. I’ve been employed with the YMCA, where I received First Aid/CPR training, CAP training, and more. My hobbies are finding new recipes to try, starting different art projects, and journaling + reading at a park. I always bring warmth, energy, and a calm, can-do attitude. I’m communicative, dependable, optimistic (while staying realistic), and bring patience, structure, and a joyful presence to every day.

Hola mi nombre es Nahomi, estoy buscando un trabajo de medio tiempo o tiempo completo. Tengo 8 años de experiencia con niños de 3 meses a 8 años, tengo muy buena comunicación con mis familias, tengo muy buenas referencias.

"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)."
