Holly $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I'm super excited to offer care for whatever you need! I've been working with children for two years through my roles as a substitute teacher and babysitter for close friends' kids. I work well with children because I'm thoughtful, cautious, and look for opportunities to cultivate joy and play each day. I am currently offering occasional visits during the busy Summer season, but I also offer dogsitting/walking, cleaning, and other household help. I enjoy deep cleaning, baking, cooking, doing laundry, and being helpful to lighten your load.

Booked by 1 family in San Francisco, CA

I have over 5 years of experience as a daycare/preschool teacher, plus 3 years as a counselor at a local community camp. I worked for half a year as a shadow for a child with behavioral challenges, supporting emotional regulation and helping them succeed in a classroom setting. I also spent a year as an art teacher and a year as a teaching assistant in a private school. My background gives me strong skills in child development, emotional regulation, and creating fun, engaging activities for kids. I am CPR, AED & First Aid certified, Mandated Reporter trained, Lead Health and Safety trained, and I have completed 12 college credits in child development. I am also pursuing a degree in therapy, which strengthens my ability to support children’s social and emotional growth. While I continue my online studies, I would love to bring my experience and energy to your 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."

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)."
