Booked by 3 families in South San Francisco, CA

Hi - my name is Sinead I am Irish and currently moved to San Francisco from New York. I have lived in the US for 9 years. While I am new to Urban Sitter I am not new to babysitting. I love being a babysitter and have been watching toddlers and kids since I was 15 years of age. I have worked with children from many different ages - infants up to teenagers. I am an auntie for five wonderful nieces and nephews so I understand how busy family life can get. Ive worked in many different industries over the years so I am no stranger to work as a household assistant and can cook, clean and run errands. I also happy to work with families that have animals.

Hello parents my name is Gisselle, but go by Gigi for short! I am originally from Chino/ Ontario area in Southern California and have been living in the bay for 5+ years now! I moved to San Francisco at 18 years old and recently graduated from SFSU with a degree in business marketing and minored in journalism and cinema! During my time in college, I started to nanny and found my passion for cooking! I have plenty of experience with children of various ages and managing multiple tasks including: - school snack prep - carpooling (up to 6 kids) - household management (grocery shopping, cleanup + laundry) - property management - cooking (breakfast+ lunch + dinner) - after school activities for children ( carpooling + attending) And much more! I hope this sounds of interest and am available for any questions or inquiries! :) thank you

I'm certified as a newborn care specialist and pediatric sleep consultant. I've spent many years working on and off with children in various roles including assisting in after-school art and reading programs, instructing children's fitness classes, and most consistently, as a nanny focused on infant/toddler development. I love being around kids of all different ages and am inspired by their growing curiosity and excitement to learn about life!

Nurturing young minds and supporting families is my passion. For the past three years, I've had the joy of caring for children aged newborn to 11 years. I hold a graduate degree and find fulfillment in fostering each child's unique growth and development. My approach is patient, calm, creative, and friendly. I enjoy playing outdoor sports and educational games. I'm comfortable caring for up to three children and enforcing household rules. To keep you informed, I provide written daily reports, chat during pickup, and send regular text updates. I am also certified in CPR and First Aid. I speak English, Portuguese, and Spanish. I'm excited to bring my experience and dedication to your family, creating a safe and enriching environment where your children can thrive.

Appreciate the flexibility on short notice. She was very helpful!

"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."

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)."
