Booked by 9 families in South San Francisco, CA

Hi everyone! I’m a warm and reliable nanny with 3 years of experience and genuine love caring for babies and small children. I’m patient, calm, and very attentive. I keep your baby safe, by being nurturing, and creating an engaging environment. I’m comfortable with feedings, sleep routines, and play that supports their development. I like going on walks as it is a great way to change up the vibe or setting. I also love to stay active and babies tend to sleep in their stroller. Additionally, I’m also good at household related tasks like meal prepping, tidying or preparing lunch boxes. (For those just looking for an hour or 2 of help around the house.) I value communication and follow your style and preferences. I aim my best to provide updates so you feel connected while you’re away. I’m so excited to connect with you and learn more about your family/home— please feel free to message me and I will answer as soon as my schedule allows me to! Thank you!

She was so professional, helpful and warm. She did the morning routine and drove the kids to school. We can’t wait to have her back.

Booked by 2 families in South San Francisco, CA

Hi families! I have extensive experience caring for children back in my hometown, and here in the U.S. I worked as an Au Pair for two wonderful families. With one family, I cared for two little ones under the age of 2, and with another, I looked after three energetic boys ages 3, 5, and 7. These experiences gave me strong skills in supporting different age groups, managing routines, and keeping kids engaged and happy. I truly enjoy spending time with children, helping them learn, explore, and have fun in a safe environment.

"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)."
