Jany $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Jany, a caring, dependable, and energetic caregiver with 10 years of childcare experience and 7 years of experience as a Registered Nurse. I recently graduated from CRNA school and am BLS and PALS certified. Safety, communication, and staying calm under pressure come naturally to me. I was born and raised in San Jose. I currently live in Outer Sunset, San Francisco with my husband. I’ve cared for children from 4 months old through the teenage years. I love keeping kids engaged through outdoor adventures, walks, games, creative activities, and age-appropriate play. I’m patient, attentive, emotionally aware, and believe every child deserves to feel safe, heard, and cared for. I’m also comfortable caring for seniors and pets, helping with household routines, transportation, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and following detailed care instructions at an additional rate. As a healthcare professional, I’m especially attentive to changes in behavior, safety concerns, and individual needs. I was an RN at a cardiovascular ICU in UC San Diego before going back to anesthesia school for my Doctorate in Nurse Anesthesia Practice degree. I am taking some time to study for my board exams and love taking care of little ones! I speak English, Mandarin, Shanghainese, and some conversational Spanish. Most importantly, I treat every child, pet, senior, and home with the same kindness, respect, and responsibility I would want for my own family.

"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)."
