Hi! I’m Ally, a California-credentialed teacher currently teaching third grade in San Francisco, with over 12 years of experience working with children of all ages and a Master’s degree in Education. I am currently on summer break, making me available for occasional babysitting, nannying, and tutoring opportunities. My passion for working with children began in my teens at my mom’s Reggio Emilia–inspired preschool, where I first developed a love for education. I later had the opportunity to observe schools in Reggio Emilia, Italy, which further shaped my child-centered approach to teaching. I strive to create a warm, engaging, and safe environment where children feel supported, confident, and excited to learn. I enjoy building meaningful connections with children and helping them grow through play, creativity, exploration, and positive relationships. Whether I’m helping with homework, planning fun activities, or simply providing dependable care, I bring patience, enthusiasm, and professionalism to every family I work with.

Hi, I am a career nanny with 2 years of experience, specializing in working with toddlers, though I am comfortable caring for children of all ages. My strengths include preparing nutritious meals, organizing educational and creative activities, and providing attentive newborn care. I especially enjoy helping children with their homework and engaging them in outdoor play, as well as activities such as writing, reading, dancing, and games. I am fluent in both English and French, which allows me to communicate effectively with diverse families. I also have specialized training in early childhood education and love incorporating creative arts into children’s daily routines. In addition, I have experience working with children at summer camps, including the Alliance Française, and I hold certifications in First Aid and State Food Safety.

"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)."
