Booked by 2 families in San Francisco, CA

Hi, I am a career nanny with 2 years of experience, specializing in working with toddlers, though I am comfortable caring for children of all ages. My strengths include preparing nutritious meals, organizing educational and creative activities, and providing attentive newborn care. I especially enjoy helping children with their homework and engaging them in outdoor play, as well as activities such as writing, reading, dancing, and games. I am fluent in both English and French, which allows me to communicate effectively with diverse families. I also have specialized training in early childhood education and love incorporating creative arts into children’s daily routines. In addition, I have experience working with children at summer camps, including the Alliance Française, and I hold certifications in First Aid and State Food Safety.

Makena San Francisco
$40 per hour for 1 child

Hi , my names Makena and I am student who graduated from SFSU in December 2024. I am looking for a family whose availability and values match mine who I can work with during the summer! I'm reliable, fun, and great with kids. For many years now I have worked with and around kids of all ages (infant-12). Some useful things to know about me: I have previously taught pre-k for two years , I have about 9 years experience and have provided childcare for five families through care. com (I have worked with most of them for a year+), I am up to date on immunizations, CPR trained/ first aid (i am willing to recertify my certificates as they have expired recently) , have a bachelors degree in early childhood education, along side my child development certificate. My passion for nannying stems from the great relationships I have built with past families and from my love of teaching. This role to me is more than just child care and I am confident in the high quality care I can provide! I do offer weekend care if informed 2 weeks in advance :) You can also check out a review on care.com should you feel inclined!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
