Hi! My name is Chelsea and I live in the Castro. I studied Psychology at San Francisco State and have always had a special interest in child development. I am the eldest of six and have extensive experience working with children of all ages. Before I moved to the Bay Area, I worked as a household manager/nanny for entrepreneurs, an overnight nanny for a nurse, and as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) working with children with behavioral difficulties and developmental disabilities providing ABA therapy. In addition, I’ve worked intermittently as a sitter over the last 13 years, as a classroom aide (K-3), a summer camp counselor for middle school age children, a private reading tutor, and a dog walker. I have also held numerous part-time nanny positions throughout the city as well as been a full-time nanny for a family while living in their downstairs unit. Since moving to the Bay Area in 2019 I have had the pleasure of working with a number of different families. Some of my duties have included school and activity pick-ups/drop-offs, preparing healthy meals, bathing, running errands, cleaning, homework support, and providing a hug and comfort when needed. My favorite part about working with kids is helping them reach their potential. I am big on promoting learning at every opportunity through music, art, and exploring the world around us. Celebrating success is one of my favorite parts of my work. I love promoting and reinforcing hard work, while also being supportive during times of struggle. I specifically enjoy creating learning games to build academic skills while being engaging and exciting. I spend a significant amount of my free time learning about best practices in promoting healthy eating, emotional development, and self esteem in kids. I do not consider myself to be a pushover, but at the same time I am not harsh or mean. When I worked as an RBT, my supervisors described me as being very patient and consistent. A bit about me: I have lived in SF, Larkspur, and Petaluma, and love what both the city and Marin have to offer. On weekends I enjoy spending my time hiking all over Marin, or taking my German Shepherd to the beach to play catch with a frisbee. When I’m not outside, I enjoy learning new songs to sing to on the piano and ukulele and reading books on personal development.

Hello Families! 👋 I’m Monsaya (Yaya), and I’m originally from Thailand. I truly enjoy working with children and love creating a safe, happy, and nurturing environment where they can learn, grow, and have fun. I have over 4 years of professional childcare experience, starting as a babysitter at 16, then working as an au pair, and now as a full-time nanny in the U.S. I’ve cared for newborns, infants, toddlers, school-aged children, twins, and families with multiple children. Before moving to the U.S., I worked as a Pediatric Nurse in Thailand for 2 years. My nursing background allows me to stay calm in emergencies, recognize signs of illness, and provide safe, attentive care. Qualifications * Licensed Registered Nurse (U.S. & Thailand) * CPR, First Aid, BLS & ALS Certified * Infant Care Certified * Child Abuse & Infection Control Training * Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record I enjoy planning age-appropriate activities like reading, arts and crafts, outdoor play, puzzles, and educational games. I also have experience with newborn care, sleep training, Montessori-inspired activities, and maintaining children’s daily routines. I’m happy to help with children’s laundry, meal prep, and keeping play areas organized. I’m a non-smoker, fully vaccinated, pet-friendly, and also work as a dog and cat sitter on Rover. Families describe me as patient, dependable, organized, and caring. I believe in open communication with parents and always treat every child with kindness, respect, and genuine care. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and see if we’d be a great fit. Thank you for reading, and I look forward to hearing from you! Monsaya (Yaya) 🥰

Monsaya is the first non-family sitter we have used and trusted her completely! She is very sweet and was comfortable with our 5 month old and cuddly dog immediately! You can tell she loves children (and dogs)! Also on time, communicated well, and tidied up! Definitely recommend

Hello dear families! I'm Gloria, I’m 36 and I love kids. I have a great experience working with children because I worked as nanny and babysitter in my country and also here in the a United States too. Let me create a beautiful relationship with your treasures!

Gloria was wonderful! She stepped right in with my 22 month and 3 month old babies right after we returned from a trip. The kids were immediately at ease and happy. We hope to have Gloria return!

"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)."
