Lani $26 per hour for 1 child

I graduated from the University of Utah with my bachelor’s degree in psychology and returned home to San Francisco to work as a gymnastics coach! I currently work with children as young as 11 months up to age 17. During my time in university, I worked at my school’s childcare centre with children aged six weeks to five years. I am patient and bubbly, and enjoy helping children stay active and engaged! I studied abroad in Japan in high school, did two years of my undergraduate program in South Korea, and recently returned from a language program in Taiwan, so I have experience interacting with individuals from many different cultures and backgrounds! Additionally, I have some proficiency in Korean and Mandarin (though my Japanese is a bit iffy now). I grew up with dogs in the house and currently raise a husky, so I am very experienced with dog care and needs!

Stephany $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Stephany and i'm currently majoring in psychology at CCSF! I'm offering childcare services for any ages. I love kids and have experience working with a big group of kids. I've worked at the boys and girls club of america for a couple of years. I've had to lead lessons of art, tech, and sports to a group of 30, 5-15 year olds. I've also grown up taking care of kids within my own family. I'm also capable of helping with homework and any responsibilities around the house such as cleaning, aiding in chores, cooking, and running errands. I'm also a huge animal lover and extremely comfortable with pets. I also have experience taking care of animals. I have my own at home, but have done some pet sitting for neighbors, friends, etc. I have no issue with big pets or the smallest of pets. I would be able to feed them, walk them, play. As well, I do have experience in getting rid of lice if that's ever an issue lol, I've worked at a lice clinic and was trained to remove lice efficiently and effectively

"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)."
