Yevheniia $30 per hour for 1 child

I am a physician with a background in pediatrics, psychiatry, and psychotherapy. I completed my medical education in Ukraine and have extensive professional experience working with children, adults, and families. My medical background helps me stay calm, attentive, and responsible, especially when it comes to a child’s safety, health, emotional needs, and development. I understand children’s behavior and developmental needs and know how important it is to create an environment where a child feels safe, respected, and comfortable. I am warm, patient, energetic, and genuinely enjoy spending time with children. I’m happy to play, read, go for walks, organize age-appropriate activities, prepare simple meals, help with routines, and provide attentive care while following the parents’ preferences and household rules. I am also comfortable with pets and have experience caring for animals. I am reliable, organized, have a valid driver’s license and my own car, and am comfortable driving when needed. I speak English, Ukrainian, and Russian. I am currently based in San Francisco and am looking for nanny, babysitting, family assistant, and pet-care opportunities.

"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

"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)."
