Elyse $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Elyse and I have nearly 10 years of experience in early childhood care. I have worked with children from infancy through age 13, including neurodivergent children, and held an au pair position abroad for 11 months. I am kind, patient, and energetic, and I enjoy getting to know the children and families I work with to build meaningful & lasting relationships. I believe these strong connections help create a supportive and nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. Additionally, I love animals, being outside (hiking, surfing, biking, etc.), and spending time with loved ones. If you are looking for some help with your little ones or pets, please feel free to reach out! Best, Elyse

Hello!! My name is Sarah and I am a sophomore at OCC. I love to learn, try new food, and to be active. I am very patient and kind. I have 1-3 years of experience working with kids of all ages, from infants to preteens, and I love engaging them in creative spaces, outdoor activities, and educational assistance. My passion is to always create a fun, safe, and nurturing environment for children. Beyond babysitting, I have experience caring for pets dogs or cats. I grew up with a bunch of animals and I am always happy to be around animals of all sorts.

Profile Image: features me and my nephew whose parents have given permission for the use of this photo. ——————— I don’t am a passionate childcare professional (taught K-8 Art and 7/8 History) who fosters nurturing, engaging, and inclusive environments where children can thrive. With a background in teaching and curriculum development for young learners, I prioritize hands-on, creative experiences that meet the unique needs of every child. My expertise includes crafting individualized lesson plans, using trauma-informed approaches, and promoting social-emotional learning through art and play. I value strong communication with families and collaboration to create a supportive community for children. In my free time, I enjoy rock climbing, hiking, painting in the park, crafting, and visiting museums—activities that reflect my love for creativity, exploration, and making meaningful connections with the world around me. I am also currently a full-time student at SFSU, getting my M.A. in History. Fluent in English and Spanish, I bring a multicultural approach to childcare that supports diverse and inclusive experiences (by exposing a child to a new language, you open neural pathways that aid in speech, cognitive ability, and overall communication).

Victoria babysat our daughter for two months, almost every day. She was absolutely incredible, so kind and gentle - our daughter loved her. Victoria was very professional, laid back and attentive - would recommend her no questions asked.

"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)."
