***Only in town for a few weeks visiting my parents :) This is also why I don’t have many recent reviews since I no longer live here, but I still work full-time in childcare where I live! Hi! My name is Alex, I’m 26 years old and was born and raised in San Francisco. I have over 13 years of experience working with children of all ages, including children with disabilities. I have a bachelors degree in psychology and am in my final year of my master’s in clinical social work now. In addition to working several years as a babysitter and nanny, I also currently work at a preschool and have also worked at a sleepaway camp, an orphanage, and a children’s museum, so I’m very comfortable caring for kids in different environments and with different needs. In addition, I’m a certified medic and volunteered on an ambulance for three years, so safety is always a top priority for me. I’m responsible, patient, fun, and genuinely love working with kids.

Alex is a great sitter. She’s a perfect balance of fun and responsible.  she has an enjoyable optimistic energy that my daughter loved. I would recommend her to any parent. 😀👍👍

Hi families, I'm Maria Serrano I have 5 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from 2month to teenagers up to 15 years old. I am CPR certified, up to date on all my vaccinations. I’m available to help families who need occasional childcare for special events, weekends, or evening plans. I currently work as a nanny, so I am looking for extra hours with families who require occasional help. (I’m comfortable managing multiple kids at once.)

Maria was really good with my 5 yr old. They spent so much time outside together. He was very happy and slept well that night.

"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

"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)."
