Hello families!! My name is Esthefania, and I am looking for full time role (split schedule accepted, ROTA position more than welcome), or two part time roles. I am currently doing a ROTA nanny backup care for 6 amazing children, but I’m looking for a long term role where I can bring my love and passion for taking care of others. I have been doing this for 8 years, amazing years with rewards and challenges, but always open to learn and accept feedback. I have work authorization, so a W-2 position is welcomed. I honor the family’s rules, but I am also proactive and comfortable taking initiative. I believe being a nanny is about more than just taking care of the children. It’s about becoming a trusted and reliable part of the household. I am open to step in whatever is needed in the household, from light tidying up to laundry, grocery shopping and meal prep! Let’s connect. I can’t wait to meet you!
“Esthefania is an amazing caretaker! She watched our twins for a week while their regular nanny was away and dropped right into our routine. She is warm and capable and kind. ”
Hello! I’m Ella — a third-generation childcare worker, longtime nanny/sitter, and former preschool teacher based in Alamo Square. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of caring for children in many settings—from daycares & day camps to private homes as a nanny and home assistant. My experience includes working with multiple children of varying ages (including several sets of twins!), long-term care for neurodivergent kids, and supporting high-profile families, including the Founder/CEO of a childcare company. I'm a former preschool teacher at an Eco-Innovator & French Immersion school for children ages 1.5 to 4.5. In the last couple of years, I assisted a family with 3 kids ages 3 & under—including welcoming newborn twins! I also nannied part-time for a high-profile family with 3 kids, beginning when they were 3, 2, and 8mo. Parents and co-teachers describe me as highly attuned, creative, and communicative. I’m known for turning everyday moments into engaging learning experiences—whether it’s through rhymes and silly songs, thoughtful questions and conversations, or spontaneous storytelling. I love crafting activities that spark curiosity and joy. My childcare philosophy is rooted in the belief that everything is educational. -I believe children learn best through creativity, humor, exploration, and positive redirection. I value building off their natural interests, and I see outdoor play, art projects, and imaginative games as essential parts of each day. As someone raised near Joshua Tree National Park, I have a deep love for adventures, climbing, and bug-spotting with little ones—getting messy and curious right alongside them. As a lifelong writer, reader, and multimedia artist, I delight in co-creating with kids—whether that’s making up stories, multi-media art projects, or inventing pretend worlds. My style is warm, energetic, and fun, grounded in structure and a deep respect for each child’s individual needs and rhythms. I love connecting with kids of all ages, and nurturing their ability to create magic in everyday moments. Excited to connect with you!
“Ella was fully engaged from the moment she started with my 4 year old. They had a fun afternoon and she left play areas tidy which was very appreciated. ”
Hi, I’m Antonia. I have worked as a nanny for 17+ years and am a mother of three boys, ages 14, 5, and 10 months. I am currently looking for a new family to work with, ideally caring for a child between 0–3 years old alongside my youngest son. I truly enjoy working with children and becoming a supportive part of a family’s daily life. I am experienced in helping children through developmental and behavioral milestones, including sleep and nap routines, eating habits, sharing and taking turns, potty training, and preparing for preschool. I love spending time outdoors with kids and enjoy taking them to parks, playgrounds, and the library for play, learning, and socialization. I speak three languages: English, Spanish, and Mam (a Guatemalan language). Over the years, I have worked with more than 10 families, and I still stay in contact with nearly all of them. References are available upon request. I am also open to a nanny share and flexible on rates and hours, as long as the overall arrangement meets my family’s needs. In addition, I have participated in my own nanny shares with each of my three boys when they were infants, and I can provide references from the families I worked with during those arrangements. I am available to start anytime.
“Antonia was incredible! She was quick to respond to my request for a last minute job and arrived promptly despite the early start time and roughly an hour of notice. She was warm and kind and had my stranger anxious baby smiling in no time! I am so happy to have found Antonia!”
My names is Stephanie, and I love working with children because seeing them learn to explore, grow and have fun brings me so much joy. I’m caring, patient and I love creating a space where kids of all ages can feel safe and be themselves. I’m very responsible and compassionate and fully committed on supporting families in their different needs. I’ve been nannying for about 9 years now, and it’s more than just watching kids, I truly enjoy being around them, engaging with them, seeing how their brains work and grow. Children bring so much happiness and I love to help families experience that with out the stress of having to worry about child care. I’m new to this app, but have a lot of experience behind me. The children I have been nannying for are getting older, entering school, and the family doesn’t require me full time any more, so I’ve decided to look into longterm and short term care for others. I’d love to be considered when looking for help! Please reach out if you have any further questions!
Hello there! I'm Haley, an experienced childcare worker with four years of experience. I'm currently seeking a full-time nanny role or a part-time position. My experience includes teaching infant and toddler classrooms at a daycare, occasional work with older kids, and tutoring at the high school and college level. I studied Data Science at UC Berkeley, and worked as a lab assistant in computer science and data science courses. I can also assist with meal prep and cooking. As a nanny, creating a safe and nurturing environment is my priority. I enjoy my work because I can watch kids grow and develop into amazing human beings, and being a part of that process is so invaluable. Outside of childcare, I like being outdoors or cooking for friends and family. If you're looking for someone to join your family, my inbox is open to messages. I would love to chat with you!
“Haley is fantastic. She did great with my gifted and neurodivergent child.”

"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."
Michelle R., mom of two
"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."
Milena L., mom of two
"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
Heather B., mom of two
