Hi My name is Sinethemba but you call me by my nickname Gina, I’m from South Africa, I have been here for almost two years. It has been such a good experience to be here and I work as a nanny, I take care of 2 and 5 year old kids for almost two year now, I love kids dearly and they love me too. I like working with kids because their hearts are pure and they forgive and forget easily which is something that adult’s can’t do most times, it is my goal to become a preschool teacher some day. I also love pets especially dogs and I used to own one back at home, thank you I’m looking forward to hear from you.

I am a dual national French and American and fluent in both languages. I studied English and Creative Writing at NYU. Children are our future and their well being and development is the most important thing in the world. Another really important thing is the education and guiding of your child. I can use anything as a teaching and learning opportunity. I love kids and I believe that play is just as important in their developmental process as school. I use play and ordinary activities to guide, teach and have fun. Each child is different and I observe their character so that I can design activities that will enhance their development and love of life and learning. I enjoy facilitating art or cooking projects as well as outside play and fun outings. I have a lot of patience and compassion; and I have a very calm approach to dealing with any stressful situation. Children give me the opportunity to learn and protect, teach and serve all through my living example of open heartedness, love and presence. Expect your child to be physically and intellectually stimulated. Patiently guided through activities, listened to, loved and wholeheartedly cared for.

“Sweet and kind sitter.”

“Giada is amazing and I am so grateful to have her care for our newborn baby! Our little one was born 2 months early and she has been doing overnight care for his first few months of life. Trust is so important when you have such a tiny little one and we sleep at night knowing he’s safe with Giada. This is the best gift. In addition to being amazing with our little one, she also goes above and beyond in other ways. Our laundry is always folded, dishes and counter cleaned, and all of baby’s stuff tidied up. We highly recommend Giada! ”

Hello! My name is Tyler and I have been providing childcare to families in SF since 2019. My work has ranged from occasional babysitting, being a mothers helper in the early mornings, and working as a nanny. For a year, I served as an assistant teacher in an infant program at a Montessori school in San Francisco, caring for infants aged 3 to 18 months. My responsibilities included changing, feeding, adhering to nap schedules, providing enriching activities, tracking milestones, and responding to the children's cues and needs. I previously served as a nanny for a family in Cow Hollow from 2[removed]. I helped them with morning drop off and after school pick up, homework help, as well as taking their kids to their various after school activities. I have also provided overnight care for them while there parents went out of town. I have extensive experience in providing childcare and I genuinely love working with children. If you have any questions or would like to discuss references, please feel free to reach out. I look forward to the opportunity to support your family!

“We had a wonderful experience w Tyler! She was very thoughtful and professional—it’s clear she has experience working with babies. We definitely recommend her, and look forward to working with her again soon! ”

"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)."
