Elizabeth San Francisco
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi There! My name is Elizabeth, but please call me Lizzy. I recently relocated to San Francisco from Boston with my partner. I am looking to help out any families that need an extra set of hands with their kids, pets, or every day needs. To tell you a little bit about myself - I was born and raised on the East Coast, nannying and babysitting every summer from middle school through high school. I grew up as intense athlete, which encouraged me to study Nutrition in college. Since graduating, I've worked as a nutritionist, helping all different types of individuals learn to eat and move for wellness and longevity. My education and experience has inspired me to continue helping others learn to care for themselves, live in a balanced way, and try new things. I can guarantee that your children and/ or pets will feel heard, supported, and encouraged with me as their sitter.

"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)."
