Hello! I’m Gabriela, and I recently relocated to San Francisco after transitioning out of academia. With a background in life sciences and over 5 years of experience caring for children (including the past 3 years here in the US), I have developed a deep love for working with kids of all ages. Spending my time with children is incredibly rewarding, and I’m great at creating fun, personalized activities based on what each kid enjoys, ensuring they have a happy and engaging time. I truly enjoy creating a calm and nurturing environment where kids feel safe, happy, and supported. I’d be happy to help with anything that makes your day easier—whether it’s homework, school pick-ups and drop-offs, meal prep, or simply spending time with your little ones! I’m also a big animal lover, with two cats and years of experience caring for dogs. I’d be so excited to support your family and create a positive, loving environment for your children! :)

Gabriela was lovely and prompt. My boys had a great time with her!

Hi there! I’m Ashley, a college student who loves helping families keep their homes running smoothly. While I have experience caring for children of all ages, I especially enjoy working as a mother’s helper and family assistant. I truly enjoy household support tasks like laundry, dishes, tidying, organizing, errands, meal prep, and helping create a calm, clean, and organized home environment. I’m proactive, dependable, detail-oriented, and happy to jump in wherever extra support is needed. I’m also comfortable around children and pets, and I always aim to bring a warm, positive, and supportive presence into the home. As a big dog lover, I’m happy to help with pet care as well!

Ashley is communicative and very proactive. She jumped right in to helping out our family and is very pleasant to work with!

I'm Amy, a full-time nanny based in San Francisco with over 5 years of experience caring for infants and toddlers. Since January 2025, I've been working with two families in a nanny share (started when the children were 6 and 9 months old) and will be finishing with them in January 2026. I'm now looking for my next full-time position (40+ hrs/week) with one child, twins, or a nanny share in San Francisco. I'm known for being warm, dependable, and highly communicative, and for creating a calm, nurturing environment that supports early development through reading, music, and engaging routines. I'm also CPR/First Aid certified (July 2024), fully vaccinated, and hold a certification as a Pediatric Sleep Consultant, specializing in newborn care and gentle sleep foundations.

Amy has been taking care of our 2 year old for the last half a year. Our daughter felt at ease and really enjoyed the time they shared. Amy is reliable, always on time and happy to think along in different situations. The daily schedule included a stroll and lunch at the park with lots of playing and interaction with other kids. At home Amy played creative and educative games and read books.

"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)."
