Hi, my name is Karla. I’m the oldest of six siblings, ranging in age from 2 to 19, I’ve been around little ones my whole life! I’m originally from South San Francisco and currently studying at Saddleback College, working toward a career in teaching. I began babysitting my own siblings, then started caring for children of my mom’s friends. After high school, I managed a shoe store for two years, but I realized my passion was working with children. Since then, I’ve spent the last four years in licensed daycare centers, starting in a preschool classroom, then moving to toddlers, and currently a lead teacher in Pre-K. I also have some experience with infants and am very open to working with them more. Working in a variety of daycare settings has exposed me to different teaching philosophies and approaches to early childhood development. I genuinely enjoy helping kids reach their developmental milestones and creating a positive, supportive environment for them to grow.

Hello there! My name is Juliane! I have a deep passion for taking care of children! I have two adult daughters of my own and a teenage granddaughter. I’m very energized and will definitely be able to keep up with your little ones! I have many years of experience looking after kids of all ages. I love to spend my time cooking, cleaning, going on walks, and reading! I love to read! For the past year I’ve been nannying part time for a 1 1/2 year old girl! We do things such as, go for walks, go to the park, go to the zoo, etc. I love to spend time with children because it makes my heart feel so full and I love the interaction! I believe in giving your child my undivided attention and care. I also work as a Nursery Coordinator for a church nursery where I lead a team of staff and take care of infants to age 3 year olds. I can also provide senior care! I have over 11 years of experience with seniors. I’ve spent time helping them bathe, completing household chores, cooking meals, beauty care, playing games, and overall providing companionship! Another service I offer is pet sitting. I am especially fond of dogs, but love all pets in general, so I am happy to work with families with pets. I can feed and walk dogs, as well as play with them.

“I had a last minute need for childcare and Juliane came through in a pinch. She was great with the babies and with the parents. She was kind with the other workers and teen helpers. She communicated well and arrived promptly. She also had a very warm and open demeanor which put me and the children at ease immediately.”

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

"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."

"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)."
