Hi there! My name is Angelique but everyone calls me Angel! 😇 I am offering childcare, senior care, pet and house sitting services. I love being a baby sitter and helping others in need. I’ve been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 16! I use to be a in-home care taker(certified)for my grandmother who had severe dementia. Unfortunately she has moved on to heaven and in no pain. ❤️ I know how to cook, clean, run errands and help with other tasks if needed. I do not own a car due to living in San Francisco but I do have my commercial drivers license-Class A! I am looking forward to meeting you and your amazing family soon! Please feel free to call or text me at my cell.[removed]. Please let me know who you are, what services you’re requesting and that you’re calling from this site. Thank you for your time! 😇

"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

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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)."
