Hello Everyone! 😊I am a bilingual (Chinese and English), energetic, and genuine sitter who loves caring for children! I am here to offer childcare household, and pet services. I am ready to take on any task you hand my way! 🤗 I've previously worked at a summer camp for children aged 6-13. Here a few of responsibilities included: watching children, disinfecting classrooms before and after snack/ lunchtime, and communicating child's concerns with parents. I have also babysat for family members in the past (Toddlers- Elementary school aged). So I have experience changing diapers, working with shy children, playing engaging games, and having a fun time! 😄 I also enjoy playing sports, a few of which include: baseball, softball, golf, and basketball. I am always excited to indulge in a high intensity activity, or a calm night in. I am also highly skilled in cooking, and love creating delicious and unique dishes. If you would like to do an interview prior to hiring, I am also open to that. P.S: I am only available during the summer months (May- Early September).

Angela was great! Good communicator and thoughtful. Would work with her again!

Hi! My name is Cristina, and I'm from Colombia. I have been living in the United States for the past 7 years and am currently studying Math at City College of San Francisco (CCSF). I bilingual, I speak English and Spanish fluently. I am a responsible, caring, patient, and energetic person who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. I love arts and crafts, painting, drawing, and finding creative ways to keep kids engaged and having fun. Over the past, I have helped several families care for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I have experience with feeding, diaper changes, nap schedules, school drop-offs and pick-ups, homework help, outdoor activities, and creating a safe, nurturing, and positive environment for children to grow and thrive. I am fully vaccinated, reliable, and comfortable caring for children of different ages. I also love animals and have experience caring for pets. As a dog owner myself, I understand the attention, patience, and care that pets need. I take pride in building trusting relationships with both children and parents and always strive to provide attentive, loving, and dependable care. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I look forward to connecting with your family! 😊

Hi! My name is Ingrid Johanna, children call me Jojo. I live in SF and am bilingual, I speak English and Spanish. I have five years of experience as a preschool teacher with toddlers and big kids, and others 5 years as a nanny working with babies, toddlers and children. I love to go to the park, playgrounds, zoo, etc. with parents approval. I’m a sweet, kind, patient and loving nanny. Provide emotional support for the children is very important, for them to feel loved, secure and worthy. I also have got numerous fun developmental activities that I like implementing with kids.

"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)."
