Booked by 6 families in San Francisco, CA

I am currently a senior at San Francisco State University, about to graduate with my bachelors degree in cj studies! I have many experience taking care of my younger siblings and baby cousins (from the ages of 9mo to 9yo). I also have experience babysitting on urbansitter from the ages of 2-9 for about 2+ years. In total i've worked with babies for 3-4 years not including watching my younger siblings. I am independent and responsible especially with kids. I love making up stories, songs, dances and other activities with the kids. I feel that I could teach children if my assistance is needed and I could even work around my schedule to work more days if needed. At the moment i am looking for part time but am open to one time gigs as well!

Sara has been our regular babysitter for a few months now, and we look forward to having her in the house. She is kind, reliable, and has formed a wonderful connection with our children. Our little one adores her, and Sara ensures safety and happiness at all times and makes sure to keep our picky eater fed. His favorite game is playing make belief at home and sh is always happy to engage in it with him. She takes him on fun adventures to the playground, zoo, and the occasional ice cream treat. Her ability to handle a moody pre-teen is also impressive, and our older child has developed a good rapport with her. Sara's dedicated and and formed a genuine bond with our kids. We hope she'll continue to be our sitter for the long term. We highly recommend her to any parents in need of a trustworthy and caring babysitter!

"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."

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)."
