Dolores San Francisco
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hello My name is Dolores, I am new to this app as my previous nanny positions have been via referrals from families. I have over 15 years of dedicated experience in childcare. I pride myself in being highly dependable, nurturing and fun loving, committed to supporting children’s growth, development and wellbeing. I have been so fortunate to work with families of diverse backgrounds, caring for children ranging from newborn to school-aged and am skilled in managing multiple children. I have been very lucky to have worked long term with some amazing families in the past who have kept in touch with me and sent me updates on their kids. In my spare time I enjoy traveling and walks along the many beautiful trails in the Bay Area. I also enjoy spending time with my grandchildren and my adult kids. I look forward to working with your beautiful family. I did take a pause on childcare to help my then husband start up his business but am looking to hopefully get back to work. I am very joyous and full of life, very easy to get along with and flexible with families. Please let me know if you have any questions. Great references available.

As a dedicated and experienced Newborn and Childcare Specialist, I am passionate about providing exceptional care for newborns and young children, with a strong focus on their health, safety, and overall well-being. I hold an Associate Degree in Child Development, which gives me a solid foundation in early childhood growth and developmental milestones. In addition, I have experience working as a preschool teacher in a Spanish immersion program, where I supported early learning and language development in a nurturing and engaging environment. I am skilled in creating nurturing and stimulating environments that promote healthy development, while maintaining structured routines tailored to each child’s individual needs. With hands-on experience in feeding, and age-appropriate care, I support both children and their families with reliability, patience, and compassion.

"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."

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)."
