With my employers, I have worked with infants, toddlers, school age children and adolescents for the past 14 years. Additionally, I’m a San Francisco native and have been a nanny for several years for lovely families. I love children and enjoy working with them and take my responsibilities very seriously. I assure you of my honesty and integrity. I can handle music, beach, playgroups, park activities, traveling, arts & crafts, learning differences and special needs. I have a valid driver license. I am CPR and First Aid Certified. My references are available upon request. I look forward to meeting your family.

Very helpful smart young woman

Hi, my name is Allie and I just rejoined UrbanSitter after some time away. I work full time at a fertility clinic in SF, but have extra free time in the mornings, evenings and weekends. I have always loved working with children and have over 10 years of experience babysitting kids of all ages (newborns to teenagers) and am confident caring for multiple children at a time. I’m totally comfortable changing diapers, giving baths, cooking basic meals, cleaning up around the house, folding laundry, helping with homework, etc. I also have my own car that I am happy to use for pick ups/drop offs. I am currently only available to babysit on an occasional basis, whether you need a sitter for date night, to run errands or to fill in for a primary nanny. Please let me know if you have any questions or want to chat on the phone!

Super sweet, reliable, sharp and the girls took to her right away. Bed, bath, dinner were flawless. Would 100% use again!

Hi, my name is Wichuda, and I’m a Registered Nurse (RN) with certifications in BLS and PALS, and over 900 hours of pediatric and maternal experience. I’ve worked as a preschool teacher for 3 years, a preschool assistant for 2 years, and a full-time nanny for nearly 2 years, caring for infants and toddlers. I’m calm, patient, and attentive to children’s safety and emotional needs. I enjoy creating fun, learning-based activities and love working with families who have pets. I’m currently looking to earn extra income while waiting for my nursing position. Best regards, Wichuda

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
