Hello! My name is Janine and I have five years of experience working with kids. As a teenager, i took babysitting jobs and pre-pandemic, I worked as a substitute teacher at Marin Day Schools here in San francisco.During the height of covid, I have switched to being a private nanny. I enjoy working with kids immensely, and being surrounded with their bubbly and curious personalities. I am a decent cook and i can provide meals that fit your child/children's diet - having earned a certification in Child nutrition and cooking. I am a calligrapher/visual artist and can provide an environment that nurtures creativity in your young ones. Furthermore, I place heavy emphasis on fostering a child-led way of child care that is deeply rooted in kindness and respect. I enjoy cycling, bouldering, practicing yoga - all of which I give credit to helping me regulate my nervous system, as I am a firm believer of providing a calm environment for the children I take care of. I am fully vaccinated and CPR certified. Thank you for your consideration. CPR and Trustline certified.

Start date, early to mid January 2 years experience caring for newborns to adolescents in a medical setting 8 years childcare experience from newborn to 8 years old CPR certified Compassionate, reliable and devoted to supporting a positive, engaging environment I’m seeking a full time (or close to full time) position with guaranteed hours, holiday pay, two weeks vacation, and six sick days yearly. I’ll be unavailable Tuesday and Thursday mornings for the foreseeable future as I’ll be in school. I’m flexible on hours based on your family’s needs. I’m willing to work/ drive in any SF neighborhoods I’m hoping to find a loving family who values clear communication, consistency, and a fun, nurturing environment for their little ones. I’m excited to get to know your family!

“Seven has been an incredible sitter for our kids for almost six months now. Both my kids adore her, Seven and my almost-5 year daughter play (blocks, trains, dolls etc), do coloring and crafts, imaginative games they made up (checking into hotels on vacation!) and more. Seven keeps my 10-year-old engaged, on occasion at home, but mostly outdoors when she's reliably picking him up from school, dropping him off to classes or while hanging out with both kids to get some juice, neighborhood hike etc. Seven has never once been late or cancelled a booking last minute. Her quiet, mellow and reliable energy has been great fit for our family during chaotic times.”

"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)."
