Hi, I'm Ilene! I'm a San Francisco native, registered nurse, and experienced babysitter currently seeking occasional childcare opportunities on UrbanSitter. As the eldest of four, I've been caring for children since childhood — and professionally since 2015. My nursing background means you can trust that your little ones are in capable, safety-conscious hands. I'm CPR certified, bilingual in English and Spanish, and genuinely passionate about creating a nurturing environment where kids feel heard and valued. When we're together, expect books, educational games, and plenty of fun! I'm reliable, warm, and fully available — I'd love to become a trusted part of your family's routine.

Eileen was really great with my 18-month old son. Would hire again for sure

Hi families! 🤍 My name is Leslie, I am born and raised in the Bay Area. I’m a triple major in Child and Adolescent Development and Double concentration in Information Systems & Decision Sciences at San Francisco State University! (Finished December 2024🎉). I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and welcoming environment for children. I believe children teach us valuable lessons in countless ways! My experience includes volunteering in a K-12 after school program and caring for family members from toddler through their early teens. Some duties included: Assisting them with homework, making sure they are safe on the playground, playing games/board games, and assisting with snack/lunch time. I also have worked with families for weekly scheduled times. Duties included pick up from school & driving them to their after school sport activities! On occasions, helping with bedtime routines. As for pets, I’ve been surrounded by them my entire life, both in my own home and while helping care for the pets of family and friends. I also have experience pet-sitting for families and truly enjoy forming bonds with furry companions. Thank you for considering me to support your family’s needs. I look forward to the opportunity to connect!😊 **I have my own transportation**

Booked by 4 families in South San Francisco, CA

I come from a big family where I grew up surrounded by babies and children, when my passion for child development began. I have dedicated the last 9 years working as a professional nanny and I constantly take classes to improve the way I work. I'm a Newborn Care Specialist and I focus on the care of newborns, infants and toddlers. My goal as a nanny is to support parents with the transition into parenthood and work together to raise confident, independent, and happy children. I'm very patient and caring. I turn routine into something fun. I'm punctual, flexible, and very organized. I'm passionate about what I do. The last families I worked with full time (and long term) are very satisfied with my work and happy to give you a good feedback about me. I have experience with sleep training (gentle methods), solid food introduction, potty training and everything that helps them to archive their milestones and their social development. Currently open for short term contracts.

Lana was excellent. I was nervous about having someone I didn't know but she was so great with our baby. She was on time, picked up after herself and the baby, and seemed very comfortable with kids. I've already invited her back.

"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)."
