Booked by 3 families in Alameda, CA

Hi, I’m Lua. I’m a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) with CPR training and over 6 years of experience working with families in California. For the past year, I’ve been caring for a little girl who is now 2 years old — I started when she was 11 months. Being part of her daily routine and development during this stage has been very meaningful to me. I also have long-term experience with infants, twins, and siblings, and I’m grateful to still be in touch with the families I’ve worked with. I’m responsible, calm, and attentive, and I truly care about providing a safe and nurturing environment. Available to start in late March or April.

“We feel incredibly lucky to have had Luana as part of our family over the past year. She cared for our daughter from 11 months old through her 2nd birthday, and we truly cannot imagine a better caregiver. Luana is everything you hope for in a nanny. Loving, warm, patient, and deeply attentive. Our daughter adores her, and it was clear every day how genuinely she cared. She created a safe, nurturing, and joyful environment that gave us complete peace of mind. We trusted her entirely, which is the greatest gift a parent can receive. She is consistently punctual, reliable, and professional, while also bringing so much heart to her work. Beyond exceptional childcare, she went above and beyond in helping our household run smoothly, assisting with laundry, meal prep, and other chores without ever being asked. Her proactive, thoughtful nature made such a difference in our daily lives. Luana has become such an important part of our family, and we are truly sad to see her go. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have her. We recommend her wholeheartedly and without hesitation.”

***Only in town for a few weeks visiting my parents :) This is also why I don’t have many recent reviews since I no longer live here, but I still work full-time in childcare where I live! Hi! My name is Alex, I’m 26 years old and was born and raised in San Francisco. I have over 13 years of experience working with children of all ages, including children with disabilities. I have a bachelors degree in psychology and am in my final year of my master’s in clinical social work now. In addition to working several years as a babysitter and nanny, I also currently work at a preschool and have also worked at a sleepaway camp, an orphanage, and a children’s museum, so I’m very comfortable caring for kids in different environments and with different needs. In addition, I’m a certified medic and volunteered on an ambulance for three years, so safety is always a top priority for me. I’m responsible, patient, fun, and genuinely love working with kids.

“Alex is a great sitter. She’s a perfect balance of fun and responsible.  she has an enjoyable optimistic energy that my daughter loved. I would recommend her to any parent. 😀👍👍 ”

Booked by 26 families in Alameda, CA

Please call me Annie as all my friends do! I have cared for a number of SF families during my 10 years living here. During this decade my childcare work has ranged from infants 2 months old to children 5 years old. I adore seeing the city through their eyes and enjoy our museum trips, library excursions, and park adventures! I am well versed in handling children on Muni, and I am comfortable driving your car in the city. I am proficient in Mandarin and willing to tutor or speak with your child in this language. Before moving to SF I had 8 years of experience working with infants and children, particularly in daycare and tutoring environments. I have babysat since I was first “allowed” at 12 years old, but as an older sister I like to think my experience predates the age of 12. I also professionally care for dogs (and personally my cat) so I'm more than happy to look after your furry friends.

“Anne did a wonderful job at taking care of our infant. We would certainly hire her again. Thank you!”

"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."

"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."
