Hello families, My name is Gabriela, I'm 29 years old, and I've been working as childcare provider for over 7 years, caring for children of all ages, from newborns to school-age kids. I spent the past year and a half with a family in the Marina, caring for their 4-year-old and 6-month-old boys, and I'm now looking for another long-term position where I can continue doing what I love. I’m happy to help with everything from daily routines to school pick-ups/drop-offs, planning activities and outings, and light household tasks such as kids laundry or cleaning bottles/meal prep. My background is in biomedical sciences and psychology, and I bring that same curiosity to how I care for kids. I lead with patience and encouragement, creating a safe, loving environment every day. If you'd like to connect, feel free to reach out!

“Gabriela was lovely and prompt. My boys had a great time with her!”

Hello! I’m Carmen, I’m 29 years old and moved here from Spain, where I studied Business Administration & Management. I came to the US to improve my English for my business future! I’m flexible & can adapt to your needs, but typically, I can pick up & drop off kids from school & activities, play games with them, or cook healthy & delicious meals. I’m also happy to do cleaning but need scheduled time without the kids to do so. I have always worked with children, at the age of 18 I started as a volunteer instructor at my riding school. Years later, I began to take care of a couple of brothers aged 2 & 7, until they were 5 & 9 years old, when I moved to another city. Also, I have often tutored children in math & statistics. My experience in San Francisco, I came as an au pair to care for a 3- to 4-year-old girl. After that, I spent several months doing occasional work caring for children of all ages, ranging from 2 months to 9 years old. I also worked part-time with a baby aged 4 to 11 months and full-time with a baby aged 3 months to 2 years. I’m interested in the interests and personality of your child so I can design games and activities they will enjoy, because every child is different!

"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)."
