Booked by 6 families in South San Francisco, CA

I’m CPR certified, up to date on all my vaccinations (COVID, flu, Tdap), have a clean background check, and hold a valid California driver’s license. I speak both English and Portuguese, companionship, light housekeeping, meal prep, and transportation if needed. I’m responsible, patient, and always committed to creating a safe, respectful, and nurturing environment. Looking forward to connecting with a great family!

Deisi was wonderful! She watched my 16 month old daughter for the afternoon. She was very responsive and great at communication which I really appreciated since I needed last minute care when my regular childcare was unavailable. Deisi was so kind and my daughter seemed to have a lot of fun with her! I would love to hire her again!

*New to this site, I have references Hello, My name is Heather. I have over 20 years of experience being a babysitter/nanny. I'm TrustLine certified; I was a full time nanny through college and a bit after I graduated watching children from infants to pre-teens. [Currently in between jobs] I work in the renewable energy industry, feel free to check out my LinkedIn:[removed] I love being creative (dancing, painting, etc.), playing hide and seek, dressing up, tea parties, trips to the park and local events, and above all else being a super fun and trustworthy partner of growing families!

Heather was wonderful! My daughter had a difficult time adjusting when we left and was crying and having trouble connecting at first, but Heather was incredibly patient, calm, and understanding with her. She never seemed frustrated and gave her the time and space she needed to warm up. I really appreciated how caring and attentive she was, especially during a challenging moment. It gave me peace of mind knowing my daughter was with someone so patient and kind. I would absolutely recommend Heather and would be happy to have her babysit for us again.

Booked by 4 families in South San Francisco, CA

Hello, I have experience with all ages. Infants and toddlers in particular. I’ve worked with one family for 13 years. They have 4 kids. I’ve worked with them since their oldest was an infant and now she is 14. I’m mainly with their toddler recently who I’ve also been with since she was an infant. They have 2 other school age children that I also care for. At this time their schedules are such that they don’t need childcare. I worked for the afterschool program at Alvarado Elementary in San Francisco for many years when my children attended school there. I love exploring all the parks and museums the Bay Area has to offer, reading books, crafts, cooking and baking if age appropriate. Look forward to talking with you! Thanks, Colleen Champion

Booked by 2 families in South San Francisco, CA

Hello! I'm Rama, a nursing student at Skyline College. I have a passion for caring for children, especially those up to the age of 4. With my nurturing nature and medical background, I prioritize the safety and well-being of your little ones. I believe in engaging kids through interactive play, creative activities, and maintaining a structured routine. You can trust me to provide a loving and responsible environment while you're away. Looking forward to the opportunity to care for your precious ones

Rama was wonderful with my 12 month old daughter. She played with her, took her on her walk, fed her lunch. I was working from home so I could hear my daughter laughing and enjoying her play time with Rama. Highly recommend.

"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)."
