Hi families! My name is Tatiana, and I have over 4 years of experience working with kids. Most of my time as a nanny has been focused on caring for little ones between 6 months and 5 years old, but I’ve also worked with older kids from 5 to 13 years old, helping with everything from playtime and meals to homework and routines. I’ve had the chance to work with different families in the Bay Area, both full-time and occasionally, and I truly enjoy being part of each child’s growth. I love creating moments where they feel safe, supported, and free to be themselves. I always do my best to bring calm, positive energy into the home, and to be someone both kids and parents can count on. ✨ A few things about me: • I’m patient, loving, and responsible • I adapt easily to new routines and family needs • I’m very committed and always show up with my full heart • I speak English and Spanish • I’m Covid vaccinated, have first aid training, I’m a non-smoker, and a safe driver I’m currently open to occasional babysitting jobs, and I’m happy to do interviews or calls before starting so we can get to know each other. I can also share references from the families I’ve worked with, who can tell you more about my experience and the kind of support I offer. I’d love the chance to meet your family and support you whenever you need an extra hand!

Hello, I am a well seasoned nanny, with decades of childcare experience. I love children and delight in bringing ease and joy to family life. As a practicing Buddhist, the cultivation of kindness, compassion, composure, and the joy that arises in concert with these qualities, are integral to my well being and the care that I provide. As a young mother of two, I set aside a career path as a mechanical engineering professor in the field of mathematical fluid dynamics, and went on to homeschool my own four children, through Hearthstone Charter School, the Butte County home education program for which I was a founding board member, teaching countless other students and babysitting their younger siblings along the way. I have a researched understanding of child development and a variety of early childhood educational and parenting modalities. I truly enjoy being loving support to parents’ own philosophies. Well versed in RIE and Attachment Theory, specifically the emotional co-regulation that is foundational to Secure Attachment, I am inclined toward those aspects of Montessori and Waldorf education that foster authentic exploration and self mastery, and find respectful, holistic approaches to the care and education of children to be a natural extension of my Buddhist practice. I am particularly experienced with infants and toddlers, as well as gifted children of all ages, including those on the autism spectrum. I have found that a whole-child approach is essential to the care of children presenting with early signs of an IQ in the exceptionally (160-180) or profoundly (180+) gifted range. (I am happy to have a conversation on the topic of gifted children.) Here’s what the mom wrote on Berkeley Parent’s Network: "She has been taking care of our children for the last 4 years. She is truly incredible in a Mary Poppins-esque sort of way; very fit, from the Bay Area, raised 4 children herself, homeschooled them, phd in engineering, and chose childcare as a career later in life because she loves children. She has a warm personality and is amazing with the kids; creative, kind, receptive, respectful. She is also very smart and resourceful and can manage everything by herself, so if you want excellent childcare for your kids and not worry about anything, she is your gal." If you feel we may be compatible, let’s talk about your family’s needs and how I can help. All Good wishes, Mariah

“So sweet and very reliable! ”

Hello there!! As an experienced nanny with a passion for working with children, I bring a wealth of skills, knowledge, and love to my work. With four years of experience in the field, I have honed my abilities to provide the highest quality care for children of all ages, backgrounds, and needs. My skills include preparing healthy meals, organizing engaging activities, creating a safe environment, and spending quality time with the children. But beyond my technical skills, what truly sets me apart as a nanny is my love for children. I firmly believe that every child deserves to feel valued, respected, and supported, and I strive to embody these values in all aspects of my work. Whether it's through active listening, creative problem-solving, or simply offering a hug or a kind word, I am committed to building strong relationships with the children and families I work with. I am dedicated to providing not only physical care but emotional support and guidance, helping children to develop confidence, self-esteem, and a love for learning. Diana

“Diana was AMAZING! I can't recommend her enough. My two year old is very hesitant to go with anyone other than a few people. He immediately took to her and had a WONDERFUL time. Diana is very responsible, dependable, trustworthy and amazing with children. She is wonderful!!”

I'm Amy, a full-time nanny based in San Francisco with over 5 years of experience caring for infants and toddlers. Since January 2025, I've been working with two families in a nanny share (started when the children were 6 and 9 months old) and will be finishing with them in January 2026. I'm now looking for my next full-time position (40+ hrs/week) with one child, twins, or a nanny share in San Francisco. I'm known for being warm, dependable, and highly communicative, and for creating a calm, nurturing environment that supports early development through reading, music, and engaging routines. I'm also CPR/First Aid certified (July 2024), fully vaccinated, and hold a certification as a Pediatric Sleep Consultant, specializing in newborn care and gentle sleep foundations.

“Amy has been taking care of our 2 year old for the last half a year. Our daughter felt at ease and really enjoyed the time they shared. Amy is reliable, always on time and happy to think along in different situations. The daily schedule included a stroll and lunch at the park with lots of playing and interaction with other kids. At home Amy played creative and educative games and read books.”

"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."
