Hello families! I’m from Argentina and fluent in Spanish, Italian, and English, with a basic understanding of Portuguese. I consider myself patient, organized, responsible, active, adventurous, and fun. I lead an active lifestyle and enjoy various sports and outdoor activities. I have 9+ years of experience caring for children of all ages, both in Argentina while studying Nutrition and here in San Francisco. I moved to San Francisco in 2021 and worked as an au pair for a year. Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to work with several families and gain experience with children of different ages, including solo care, sibling and group care, weekends, full days, and overnights. I recently completed a three-year position with the same family in San Francisco, caring for their son from toddlerhood until he started school. Now that he has started school, I’m back on the app and looking for my next family to work with. I’m excited to bring the experience and skills I’ve developed over the years to a new family. I have a genuine passion for working with children. I come from a big family and have always been surrounded by children of different ages. My mom was a kindergarten teacher, so I grew up with a strong appreciation for working with children. I enjoy creating fun and engaging experiences for children and love taking them to parks, playgrounds, libraries, museums, and other local activities. I also enjoy incorporating active play, learning, and exploration into our time together. Additionally, I have a love for animals, especially dogs, and have had pets my entire life. I’m comfortable and confident caring for them and enjoy taking them to the park or incorporating them into our daily routine. I’m CPR certified and fully vaccinated. I have great references available upon request. I’m excited to meet a new family and create a great relationship built on trust, communication, and reliability!

Hello my name is Adriana and I'm from Caracas, Venezuela. I speak Spanish and English fluently. After high school I studied at a culinary school. I love food and cooking in general. After working in Venezuela in some kitchens I decided to come to US as an au pair, to learn the language, and more about this country and culture. Also I love kids, they are adorable and funny. So I knew that being an au pair would be a great. opportunity and experience for me. So, I came to the SF bay area (Novato) in 2008 untll 2010. I was an au pair living with a great american family taking care 2 boys. They were 4 and 1 years old when I got there. I was responsible for them for 45 hours a week while my host parents were at work. My duties include making their meals, laundry, homework, etc. I also played with them, read books to them, and participated in their daily activities. It was a great experience. After 2 years as an aupair. I started working as a nanny with an awesome family in Dubouce Triangle, taking care 1 boy (5 year old) and 1 girl (3 years old) also 45 hours a week. After being an live in nanny I stared to work ocationally eith kids. I have worked with all ages. I like all kids but my favorites are infants and todlers. I am currently taking care of a seven months old baby two days a week, and am available for occasional night or weekends. I am flexible with my schedule, (given at least two day's notice), and am always looking for extra hours, so please feel free to contact me! Also I'm animal lover so if you have a dog, cat, fish, snake, lizard, mouse, or whatever I'll be totally ok.... ;) NOTE: For ocatinal nanny share. the rate is $25 per family p/hr.

"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)."
