Booked by 1 family in San Francisco, CA

I'm Amy, a full-time nanny based in San Francisco with over 5 years of experience caring for infants and toddlers. Since January 2025, I've been working with two families in a nanny share (started when the children were 6 and 9 months old) and will be finishing with them in January 2026. I'm now looking for my next full-time position (40+ hrs/week) with one child, twins, or a nanny share in San Francisco. I'm known for being warm, dependable, and highly communicative, and for creating a calm, nurturing environment that supports early development through reading, music, and engaging routines. I'm also CPR/First Aid certified (July 2024), fully vaccinated, and hold a certification as a Pediatric Sleep Consultant, specializing in newborn care and gentle sleep foundations.

“Amy has been taking care of our 2 year old for the last half a year. Our daughter felt at ease and really enjoyed the time they shared. Amy is reliable, always on time and happy to think along in different situations. The daily schedule included a stroll and lunch at the park with lots of playing and interaction with other kids. At home Amy played creative and educative games and read books.”

Hello! My name is Tatiana, and I am currently available for full-time and occasional babysitting opportunities starting in September/Mid-September ( (I’m also happy to start in October if that’s a better fit) I have 5 years of childcare experience working with children of different ages, including infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. Over the past two years, I have worked closely with the same family, caring for a child from infancy into toddlerhood. This experience has given me hands-on knowledge of daily routines, naps, meal preparation, developmental activities, outdoor play, and creating a safe and nurturing environment. I hold a degree in Psychology, which has given me a strong understanding of child development and age-appropriate learning. I enjoy supporting children’s growth through play, reading, creative activities, and encouraging independence in a positive and respectful way. As a native Spanish speaker, I have extensive experience communicating with children entirely in Spanish and supporting bilingual language development. Several families have specifically appreciated this aspect of my care, as it has helped their children strengthen their Spanish skills naturally through daily interaction, play, books, songs, and routines. Families describe me as patient, reliable, attentive, and caring. I genuinely enjoy building meaningful connections with children and helping them feel safe, supported, and happy while in my care. I am comfortable assisting with children’s meals, bedtime routines, potty training, homework support and light housekeeping related to the children. I am happy to provide references upon request and would be glad to answer any questions about my childcare experience. I look forward to meeting your family!

“Tatiana was wonderful with our two boys. She arrived on time, was very engaging, and helped the boys practice Spanish through games. The kids loved her!”

"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)."
