Purity $25 per hour for 1 child

I'm originally from Kenya and now living in California. I'm fluent in English and three additional Kenyan languages. I truly enjoy working with children and have hands-on experience caring for three kids in my family-two from infancy through their teenage years, and one from birth to age three. These experiences taught me patience, adaptability, and the importance of creating a healthy, positive environment for children to grow in. I'm a fast learner, reliable, and always happy to help make a family's day-to-day life easier. I also hold a valid driver's license, own car and I have six years of prior driving experience, and I am fully vaccinated. I'd love to bring my warmth, responsibility, and dedication to a family looking for dependable childcare support.

Erika Buitrago $29 per hour for 1 child

I am a Hispanic nurse who has been living in San Francisco for around two years now. I am currently working in an assisted living building, but looking to expand my career opportunities here in the Bay Area. I have worked in hospitals for eight years taking care of all age groups. In the last three years before coming to the United States I was taking care of children in an intensive unit. I am also a mom of a 16 year old boy, which I consider is the best experience in my life. I have taken care of many children in non medical settings, for instance, my 2 little nephews who are 1 and a 1/2 and 2 and a 1/2 years old. Being a mom made me more sensitive and aware of how important it is for parents who is taking care of their love ones. I like to cook and spend time around the nature. I am very confident in my ability to care for people and the environment around me. I hope to hear from you soon!

"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)."
