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.

ā€œSweet and kind sitter.ā€

Hello! My name is Anaya, and I was born and raised in San Francisco. Growing up in a large family with many younger siblings naturally drew me into caregiving roles. I found joy in watching over the little ones, and that’s how my passion for childcare began. I am currently a college student at Skyline College, where I’m pursuing a degree in nursing. I have over five years of experience in caregiving, including nannying children ranging from infants to 10 years old. I truly enjoy collaborating with families and providing support in any way I can. In addition to nannying, I’m currently working for the San Francisco Unified School District as a paraeducator, which has further enhanced my skills and experience in working with children. I am happy to help with cleaning, cooking, and transportation needs, and I also offer dog sitting services, as I adore animals. My approach to babysitting focuses on keeping kids active and engaged in various activities. I am passionate about educational learning and strive to incorporate it into our time together. Thank you for taking the time to learn about me, and I look forward to the opportunity to assist families in our community!

"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
