Marcela $28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in San Francisco, CA

Hi families! My name is Marcela. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Public Accounting and I am currently pursuing an MBA. I am fluent in both English and Spanish and have over three years of childcare experience in the United States as an Au Pair, along with additional experience caring for infants and assisting in a preschool classroom. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and helping them learn, explore, and grow in a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment. I have experience caring for children of different ages, including infants as young as 6 weeks old, and I love engaging them through reading, arts and crafts, outdoor activities, games, and age-appropriate learning experiences. Families describe me as patient, reliable, responsible, and caring. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, encouraging positive development, and providing parents with peace of mind knowing their children are safe, happy, and well cared for while they are away.

Alicin $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Alicin, and caring for children has been part of my life for many years. I am responsible, patient, caring, organized, and very attentive to each child’s individual needs. In Brazil, childcare was always a source of additional income for me once I was old enough to work. Even before I was old enough to have a formal job, I earned my own money by helping families care for their children. Over the years, I gained experience caring for children of different ages, from newborns to 12-year-olds. Here in the United States, I also have childcare experience and references that I can provide to families. I have cared for children around 2 and 4 years old, which has helped me become familiar with the routines and needs of young children here as well. I am also very comfortable caring for pets. In Brazil, I have an animal welfare organization called Instituto Arcanas, dedicated to helping and caring for animals in vulnerable situations. Because of this work, I have developed a lot of experience, responsibility, patience, and affection when caring for animals. Portuguese is my native language, and I am currently improving my English. For this reason, I am especially interested in connecting with Brazilian and Portuguese-speaking families. However, I am also very open to working with English-speaking families who feel that my experience and personality are a good fit for their needs and who are comfortable being patient and helping me with the language when necessary. I am committed to learning and improving every day. Most importantly, I understand the responsibility and trust involved when a family chooses someone to care for their children, pets, or home. I always do my best to provide a safe, respectful, loving, and reliable environment.

"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)."
