Hello ! I am currently working in sf Mon-Friday for a family but looking for extra hours ! I have lots of experience with all ages of children youngest being a newborn and oldest is 13. I am the oldest of 8 children so I am qualified in the baby sitting department but I had a yr of paid babysitting. I am a very patience person so I can deal with a lot of things when it comes to children, I am very reliable. I have learned throughout my years of babysitting my siblings how to handle many situations with children whether it be to entertain them, putting them to bed, bathing& feeding them to little conflicts they could have. I believe that I am the perfect fit for what you are looking for & together we can create a safe & loving environment for your children. My availability is valid for as long as you need me it does not expire. I like working with kids because they remind me of youth, love & being able to have fun. It's a beautiful thing to witness.

Hi! I’m 28, work in the medical field, and have 13 years of babysitting experience. I’ve grown close with the families I’ve worked with and always aim to make kids feel safe, supported, and heard. I’m used to school pickups, driving to activities, helping with homework, and keeping routines on track. I’d be happy to chat and see if I’m the right fit for what your family needs. CPR certified

Victoria was amazing with my 3 year old. They played, went for a walk and Victoria had her bathed and in her PJs by the time I got home. Victoria is on it and has great engagement with children.

I’m a mom and have experience raising my own child, so I understand how important it is to provide a safe, caring, and fun environment. I’m patient, dependable, and really enjoy spending time with kids whether it’s playing or keeping them busy with creative activities. I’d love the chance to care for your little one and help out however I can!

"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)."
