Lizbeth Yanela $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Lizbeth. I’m from Bolivia, and I came back to San Francisco to study. In my free time, I would like to work doing something I really enjoy, which is taking care of children. My experience as a babysitter in San Francisco started when I came here as an Au Pair for a nice American family. I took care of two sweet kids. I really like children of all ages and I enjoy spending time with them. I like playing with them, doing sports, going to the park, having playdates, doing crafts, making cookies, and preparing simple meals they like. Before coming to San Francisco, I also worked at a daycare where I took care of children of different ages, from babies to 6-year-old kids. I consider myself a patient, caring, and responsible person. I always try to make children feel safe, happy, and comfortable while they are with me.

Isabella $28 per hour for 1 child

Nurturing & Experienced I have hands on experience caring for children through helping raise my baby brother and cousins, throughout the years of covid when non-family members weren’t recommended to be in the house. This has given me a strong understanding of children’s needs at different developmental stages. It has also taught me how important structure is to children while also not being scared to be spontaneous and keep kids entertained. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time to create a trusting and safe environment for your children. Organized & Safety-Focused As a pre-nursing student, it is extremely important for me to be detail oriented, calm under pressure, and highly aware of safety measures. With this I also prioritized keeping a clean and organized space. This helps parents feel confident their children are in capable hands as well as a clean environment. Educational Support & Homework Help My academic background allows me to assist children with homework, reading, and learning activities. I enjoy explaining new concepts and encourage good study habits, which I implement into my own schooling. Dependable & Adaptable I’m reliable, punctual, and flexible, with the ability to adapt quickly to different family dynamics and daily routines. I communicate clearly with parents and take pride in being someone families can depend on.

"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."

"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)."
