Hello UrbanSitter families! I’m Ashley, a nurturing and experienced caregiver with over seven years of dedicated childcare experience — three years here in the U.S. and four years in Colombia. I have a deep passion for enriching young lives and creating a safe, joyful environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. Originally from Colombia, I bring a warm Latin American culture into your home and proudly offer Spanish language lessons for your children if desired. As a former au pair, I have successfully cared for up to five children at once, always ensuring personalized attention and loving care. In addition to childcare, I am experienced with pet care and senior care, providing the same level of compassion and attentiveness. My home has always been pet-friendly, so your furry family members will be treated with as much love as your little ones. With me, you’re not just hiring a sitter — you’re welcoming a reliable caregiver and an engaging companion who creates fun-filled adventures, educational play, and memorable activities tailored to your child’s interests. ✨ Flexibility: I understand that plans can change, so I’m happy to be flexible and can often stay longer than originally scheduled if needed. Any extra time will be billed at the standard hourly rate (1x). Cancellation Policy: Please note that cancellations made less than 2 hours before the scheduled time will incur a charge equivalent to one hour of the booked rate. Thank you for respecting my time and schedule. I’m here to make each day an exciting, enriching, and safe journey for your little ones. I can’t wait to meet you and become a trusted part of your family’s support system!

Hi there! I'm Mago. I'm originally from Mexico but I've been in the Bay area for almost four years now . I am a former elementary school teacher and I've worked as a nanny for the past couple years in the Bay area. I consider myself a very patient and creative person. I like doing arts and Crafts, drawing, painting, being outdoors or just cooking for family and friends. I started babysitting when I was in highschool, mostly for family friends and neighbors. I also worked as a camp counselor (junior division) in Pennsylvania for 3 summers. I'm my most recent jobs, I've cared for younger kids from 3mo-6yo. I have great references and experience with important milestones in kids' development such as transition to solids, sleeping training, potty training, etc I'd be happy to hear from any families interested. I try to keep my calendar and availability up to date.

"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
