Hi Families! ❤️ Available full, part- time,nanny! Loving nanny and childhood education teacher with 10+ years of experience caring for children from newborns to school-age, including twins. I’m currently available and looking for a new family to work with. I’m excited to find a wonderful family where I can share my love, care, and experience. I’m from Colombia and truly enjoy spending time with kids. I’m passionate, patient, and hold a childhood education degree. I have extensive experience in childhood behavior and development, which allows me to provide professional and nurturing care. I’ve cared for children of various ages and family dynamics, including twins, toddlers, and babies. I also taught Spanish in a Spanish immersion program, which I really enjoyed. Most recently, I’ve been caring for a baby since he was just 2 days old, along with his 5- and 7-year-old siblings. My responsibilities have included caring for the baby, helping with his older siblings, driving them to school and activities, and being part of their daily routine and family life. I’m reliable, flexible, and happy to help, whether you need full-time care, an extra hand, or date-night support. I would love to find a new family where I can help, support, and give lots of love and care to their kids. I have great references who’d love to talk to you. If you want to know more, I’d be more than happy to talk to you and share details!

“Reliable, mature, and very capable!”

I follow the Biblical principles: love one another and be a Peacemaker. I believe your family is happier and easier if you have Jesus Christ in your life. Life is a journey and we are travelers in this world. Enjoy life, eat out more often with your family. Be grateful for what you have and be thankful for your family.

I’ve coached and trained many people to renew a heathier and happier life. I practice what I preach. I used the What Would Jesus Do model to love like Jesus Christ. I practice the Ten Commandments to live my life to honor God. (The Bible says: Fathers & mothers, do not do things that make your children angry. Instead, teach them carefully as they grow up. Help them to understand the message of the Lord, and help them to obey it. Ephesians 6:4 ) I enjoy life and appreciate people around me. I encourage people to seek outside solutions. I love seeing children grow productively. I always bring joy, love, peace and hope to people around me. I am a very humorous Provider.

I am available in the afternoon, evening, weekend and as needed travel. I believe I will be a great asset to support your family. Life is short, before you know it, your child(ren) will be in college soon : ). May God give you wisdom to train your children to be independent. It takes a village to raise a child.

“Ellen has been such a gift to our family and to our son, Mason. She is reliable, communicative, and flexible with scheduling when given notice, and is consistently on time. She has many families that she helps with and is in high demand! She brings a confident and has vast experience caring for kids. She has a warm, faith-centered personality, is funny and down to earth, and takes a true mom helper approach—helping around the house, keeping things tidy, and noticing details like when Mason’s skin need. Her caregiving style is attentive and she teaches children life skills. I really like that she does things for the babies brain development. She offers thoughtful advice from her own experience, and is also open and respectful of our parenting style. We highly recommend Ellen to any family looking for a dependable, loving, and proactive caregiver who will treat their child as her own!”

Hello! I have extensive experience caring for children of all ages, with a particular focus on infants and toddlers. I’ve been with one family for 13 years, caring for all four of their children. I started when their oldest was an infant, and she is now 14! More recently, I’ve primarily cared for their youngest, who I’ve also been with since infancy, while continuing to help with their three school-aged children as needed. Their schedules have recently changed, so they no longer need childcare at this time. I also worked for many years in the after-school program at Alvarado Elementary School in San Francisco while my own children attended school there. I love spending time with children and exploring all that the Bay Area has to offer, from parks and museums to reading books, doing crafts, and cooking or baking when age-appropriate. I enjoy creating fun, engaging experiences that help children learn, explore, and grow. I look forward to connecting with you and learning more about your family and childcare needs! Thank you, Colleen Champion

"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)."
