My Skills and Interests: • I am enthusiastic, patient, and caring, always creating a supportive environment for children. • I love engaging children in creative play, educational activities, and outdoor adventures. • I enjoy activities such as building with Legos, painting, reading books, and exploring new places around the city with the kids. • I enjoy cooking and can handle various dietary preferences and restrictions. • I am comfortable working in homes with pets and can also help care for them. • As a native Spanish speaker, I can teach Spanish to your children, which I find incredibly rewarding.

Booked by 2 families in San Francisco, CA

Hi! I’m a caring and dependable childcare provider with several years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and young children. I’ve supported families with newborn routines including bottle feeding, diaper changes, naps, tummy time, and engaging age appropriate play. I’m currently a college student pursuing nursing, which has strengthened my attention to detail, patience, and strong commitment to safety. I’m calm, nurturing, and highly attentive to children’s needs, and I pride myself on creating a warm, structured, and safe environment where children can thrive. I’m especially interested in infant and toddler care, backup care, and short term or part time opportunities.

Que'Marie was engaging, involved and was excellent with our 6 month old.

"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

"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)."
