Brenna $26 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in South San Francisco, CA

Hello! My name is Brenna and I am originally from Boise, Idaho. I moved to San Francisco and attended school at the University of San Francisco where I graduated a year and a half ago with a degree in psychology. Since graduating, I have been able to work with children, specifically with children on the autism spectrum. I have gained a lot of experience in my field and look forward to eventually going back to school to get my LMFT! I love the outdoors, going for walks, and sight seeing through the city! I am very organized, punctual, positive, and creative. I look forward to working with your family and helping out in anyway I can. I am moving back to the city on July 2nd and am hoping to start a job nannying!

Hi there! My name is Grace, I grew up on an island in the Puget Sound. I’ve spent the past 5 years working in tech and now am looking into a new career path. I have a 5 year old niece who I have watched regularly throughout her infant life, and have a history of babysitting and nannying throughout high school and college. I’m great with kids, dogs, and cats! I love to spend time at home and play games, watch movies, or spend time in the many local parks or on long walks. Looking forward to meeting you and your family!

"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)."
