Booked by 4 families in South San Francisco, CA

Hello! My name is Anaya, and I was born and raised in San Francisco. Growing up in a large family with many younger siblings naturally introduced me to caregiving at a young age and helped spark my passion for working with children. I have over six years of childcare and caregiving experience, including nannying children from infancy through age 10. I worked as a paraeducator with the San Francisco Unified School District, where I supported children with moderate to severe disabilities. This experience has strengthened my ability to be patient, attentive, adaptable, and supportive of each child’s individual needs and routines. I am also a mom to a 6-month-old, which has given me an even deeper appreciation for the level of trust parents place in the person caring for their child. I understand firsthand how important it is to have someone who is loving, dependable, communicative, and attentive to the little details. My childcare style is hands-on and engaging. I enjoy incorporating age-appropriate educational activities, reading, outdoor time, walks, sensory play, and creative activities while also respecting each family’s routines and parenting preferences. I’m comfortable with infants and toddlers, diapering, feeding, meal preparation, transportation, and light child-related tidying. I am currently looking for a consistent nanny position with a wonderful family. As a mom to a 6-month-old, I am ideally looking for a family who would be comfortable with my baby accompanying me approximately two days per week. I do have additional childcare support available for the remaining days and am happy to discuss a schedule that works well for both of our families. Caring for another infant or young child around a similar age would be an especially great fit. I love the idea of providing both children with opportunities for age-appropriate socialization, interactive play, walks, reading, sensory activities, and learning alongside one another, while still making sure each child receives plenty of individualized attention and care. I understand that every family’s needs and routines are different, and my priority is creating an arrangement where parents feel completely comfortable and their child feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I would love to connect and learn more about your family and what you’re looking for in a nanny!

Hi, I’m Alejandra, I have a degree in physical education, recreation and sports. I have more than 6 years of experience working with children. If you are looking for a reliable caregiver who will create a friendship and good connection with your children, I will be more than happy to meet your family! About me I am seeking to provide all my knowledge in childcare. I am affectionate, loving, and sweet with them. I love doing recreational activities with children according to all my learning in pedagogy. Each experience is important and unique in children's childhood. I love doing indoor activities such as painting, dancing, creating imaginative games, playing house, tea, making tents, puzzles, tile games, and many more activities according to their ages. I also love to complement the day with outdoor activities, going to the playground, scooters, sports, soccer, basketball, volleyball, tennis, skateboards, riding a bike, exploring nature, walking, taking them to activities, bubbles, chalk on the floor, hide and seek, etc. • I would like to help you with all the children's chores, such as washing clothes, preparing meat snacks, cleaning toys and playrooms, and washing bottles. • I’m experienced in bathing, feeding, and ensuring their daily routines are handled with care and attention. • I’m CPR/first aid certified, • I have my vaccines up to date • driver’s license. • I love pets.

Alejandra was wonderful with our toddler from the moment she arrived. We recently had our first paid interview with Alejandra. She was kind and warm, quickly getting down on the floor to play animal puzzles with our toddler. Her creativity shone through as she introduced different ways to play with the play food kitchen. Alejandra kept our little one thoroughly engaged with a coloring activity and reading books. Alejandra was also proactive during lunch and made the nap time transition smooth and easy. Our toddler even said 'night night 'Jandra' as she said her goodbyes, which melted our hearts. The time flew by as she kept our toddler entertained, allowing us to focus on reorganizing our house. We will definitely be hiring Alejandra again for babysitting!

"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)."
