Hi lovely families, I’m Maria, 53, high energy, artsy and positive thinking nanny with 39 years of professional child care exp. I’ve always had a special connection to kids. They are my people! Most recently, I was a nanny for 4 years to two children in Ingleside until they both went to daycare/school full time. I’ve been a long term nanny twice to two sets of twins from two families. The first set for 10 yrs. Next set for 3 yrs. I’ve taken care of hundreds of children from newborn to 17. I’m extremely proud of my first set of twins having graduated college in 2025. They are my best references;) I also ran a dog walking/cat care business in SF for 13 years. Comfortable with most pet care. I love to spark creativity by helping children discover new things each day through play, reading, music, singing aloud, creative arts and limiting screen time. I’m committed to promoting a child’s physical, mental, and emotional development. ​I supply all the loving care/support (lots of hugs and snugs). Im patient and I maintain an easy going manner but offer children clear guidelines/boundaries that promote positive behavior patterns. I am a native Californian, everyone’s cheerleader, an organizer/cleaner/minimalist, am focused on a healthy lifestyle, do not use any type of social media, haven’t owned a tv my entire adult life, am a multi tasking beast, have a pro-active get it done moving forward mentality, creative problem solver, have a big heart, my mom sent me to etiquette school so my manners are on point, have a calm demeanor but goofy sense of humor and can handle being called poo poo all day by toddlers.

Looking forward to my time with all you wonderful families! ***Cancellation/Payment Policy*** Please respect and be mindful of payment for the full amount of time posted and booked.

Hello my name is Adriana and I'm from Caracas, Venezuela. I speak Spanish and English fluently. After high school I studied at a culinary school. I love food and cooking in general. After working in Venezuela in some kitchens I decided to come to US as an au pair, to learn the language, and more about this country and culture. Also I love kids, they are adorable and funny. So I knew that being an au pair would be a great. opportunity and experience for me. So, I came to the SF bay area (Novato) in 2008 untll 2010. I was an au pair living with a great american family taking care 2 boys. They were 4 and 1 years old when I got there. I was responsible for them for 45 hours a week while my host parents were at work. My duties include making their meals, laundry, homework, etc. I also played with them, read books to them, and participated in their daily activities. It was a great experience. After 2 years as an aupair. I started working as a nanny with an awesome family in Dubouce Triangle, taking care 1 boy (5 year old) and 1 girl (3 years old) also 45 hours a week. After being an live in nanny I stared to work ocationally eith kids. I have worked with all ages. I like all kids but my favorites are infants and todlers. I am currently taking care of a seven months old baby two days a week, and am available for occasional night or weekends. I am flexible with my schedule, (given at least two day's notice), and am always looking for extra hours, so please feel free to contact me! Also I'm animal lover so if you have a dog, cat, fish, snake, lizard, mouse, or whatever I'll be totally ok.... ;) NOTE: For ocatinal nanny share. the rate is $25 per family p/hr.

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
