Hi! My name is Cristina, and I'm from Colombia. I have been living in the United States for the past 7 years and am currently studying Math at City College of San Francisco (CCSF). I bilingual, I speak English and Spanish fluently. I am a responsible, caring, patient, and energetic person who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. I love arts and crafts, painting, drawing, and finding creative ways to keep kids engaged and having fun. Over the past, I have helped several families care for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I have experience with feeding, diaper changes, nap schedules, school drop-offs and pick-ups, homework help, outdoor activities, and creating a safe, nurturing, and positive environment for children to grow and thrive. I am fully vaccinated, reliable, and comfortable caring for children of different ages. I also love animals and have experience caring for pets. As a dog owner myself, I understand the attention, patience, and care that pets need. I take pride in building trusting relationships with both children and parents and always strive to provide attentive, loving, and dependable care. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I look forward to connecting with your family! 😊

Booked by 4 families in South San Francisco, CA

Hello, my name is Marisa. I currently run my own petsitting & dog walking business while nannying part time. I have over 15 years of experience babysitting and nannying, and I enjoy working with children of all ages! I have both personal and professional experience working with children who are neurodivergent, including children on the ASD spectrum and with ADHD. I am patient, caring, and compassionate, and I work well with parents/caregivers to meet the specific needs of their family! I am also skilled in managing school pick-up and drop-off routines for multiple children. In my free time I enjoy hanging out with my friends and pets, going to concerts, going to the movie theater to watch oldies, and playing the claw machines. Please message me to double check availability, as my calendar may not always be up to date. Cancellation Policy: If bookings are cancelled by the parent/caregiver within 24 hours of the start time of the booking, I charge a fee of 50% of the total booking to help offset the loss of wages on short notice.

ā€œMarisa was punctual, responsive and very sweet towards my son! We will be asking for her help again!ā€

Hi, I'm Dreycel! I a Behavior Therapist who works with kids every single day. Besides being an older sister, I also used to work at Child and Youth Services overseeing afterschool activities and homework help. More recently, I was a summer program aide at Katherine Michiels School here in San Francisco where I spent most of my time with children transitioning from kindergarten to first grade. Together, we did outdoor activities, arts and crafts, as well as story time. I have enjoyed my time working with children because of their curiosity and their never ending capacity to learn.

"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)."
