Rafaela 1 review
Daly City
$35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 5 families in San Francisco, CA

Hello, my name is Rafaela , I'm 29 years old, my first language is Portuguese, I lived in Brazil for 23 years of my life. I've been working with children since I was 14 and I love child development, in a few weeks I can understand the needs of children and make everything more practical. I really like the Montessori method, but I'm open to other ways of showing the world to children. I love spending time outside the house, but I also love activities that we can do at home, I know a lot of cool places to go with the kids and I have a lot of museum tickets to spend the day. I have a first aid course and I'm going to take a new one soon.

Rafa helped us with morning drop offs for a week. She was extremely punctual, thorough in her communication and safety-minded when it came to our son.

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.

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

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)."

Eric D., dad of two
