Booked by 4 families in San Francisco, CA

Hello there!! As an experienced nanny with a passion for working with children, I bring a wealth of skills, knowledge, and love to my work. With four years of experience in the field, I have honed my abilities to provide the highest quality care for children of all ages, backgrounds, and needs. My skills include preparing healthy meals, organizing engaging activities, creating a safe environment, and spending quality time with the children. But beyond my technical skills, what truly sets me apart as a nanny is my love for children. I firmly believe that every child deserves to feel valued, respected, and supported, and I strive to embody these values in all aspects of my work. Whether it's through active listening, creative problem-solving, or simply offering a hug or a kind word, I am committed to building strong relationships with the children and families I work with. I am dedicated to providing not only physical care but emotional support and guidance, helping children to develop confidence, self-esteem, and a love for learning. Diana

Diana was AMAZING! I can't recommend her enough. My two year old is very hesitant to go with anyone other than a few people. He immediately took to her and had a WONDERFUL time. Diana is very responsible, dependable, trustworthy and amazing with children. She is wonderful!!

"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)."
