Vaccinated & boosted! Experienced, professional, silly, loving! Most recent background check June 2026 Red Cross Infant/Child/IAdult CPR & First Aid Certification 6/2025 Parents have called me "baby whisperer" and "Maya Poppins"; a three-year-old called me "booty butt"! I can handle anything! It is my great pride to share my resourcefulness and experience; I ask for help and clarification gladly.  I've worked with children from ages 2w to 18y through the site and also seniors. From KG teacher and early childhood curriculum developer, teacher trainer and university lecturer, I've worked extensively in education. After most of a decade abroad and a wild pandemic, I just finished my doctorate in education (March 2023!). I love working with children and appreciate having a flexible schedule. With little ones, I'm silly and creative (and love to share my published children's book!). I understand tears and have the patience to soothe and work with the frustration, exhaustion, or confusion behind them. For parents, I'm super tidy, reliable, a great communicator, and have a CA driver's license! I have lived and worked all over the world and have a social justice mindset that informs my life and work. Also available for high-end tutoring, development evaluations (ages 2-6), middle/upper grade social services, and personal assistant services at other rates.

Hi, I'm Jennifer and I'm 43years old. I live in San Francisco, Ca. I have been taking care of children, with and without special needs, for over ten years now. I have over 32 units completed in child development, and work as a head teacher for Tinycare at Mission Bay Infants. I have extensive special needs experience! I have current Covid and boosters, CPR, First Aid, TB, DPT and Flu vaccine. I am experienced in food allergies and organic diets. I also know basic sign language, and have worked with families who use the sleep training method. I pride myself in providing engaging and stimulating activities instead of having children sit in front of a tv all day. I have worked as a live-in, live-out and on-call nanny. Some of my favorite activities to do with young children are singing, fingerplays, lots of reading (I love to read!), going on outings to parks, musuems, etc. For older children I love to incorporate activities that have an educational value too, like learning about history, science, etc in a fun and exciting way. I also do lots of art projects and music. I have quite a collection now, both from working in a school, different families and materials I have purchased. Children who I meet are always super excited to go through my "nanny bag" which I prepare for each family depending on the age of the children. Some of my interests are reading, writing, swimming, bike riding, going for walks and spending time with family and friends. I have excellent references and a resume available.

I am A'kila [Uhh-kee-luhh]. What I love most about caregiving is having the opportunity to engage with a warm and loving family. My style of caregiving comes from a place of authenticity. Especially in regards to clients that are disabled. After caring for severely Autistic non verbal clients, I am privy to basic ABA therapy strategies and concepts. As well as navigating AAC devices. Since 2017, I have been caring for children of all ages, races and abilities from the ages of 3 months to 13 years young. Within that time, I have met hundreds of families from all walks of life. If you are hiring based on my experience, please look at my reviews for further insight. If you would like to set up an interview, I request we exchange references, so I too gain more insight as to your family dynamic with other sitters, which will give me an idea if we are a good match. What do I expect from you as a parent? Respect and open communication. It is my goal to work with, not for, a family. I give and put my time and effort into caregiving professionally. It is imperative, from the very start of our correspondence that we maintain a level of transparency , honesty and respect in an effort for us all to ultimately find a good match and waste as little of our time as possible in the process. Thank You, A'kila

“Rachel is a absolute lifesaver! She responded right away to an emergency post I made for next-day childcare and stepped in effortlessly. She is polite, thoughtful, and immediately clicked with our son, Maverick. Even after just one day, I know we found someone truly special. She supported both Maverick and me when we needed it most. Hire her—you won't regret it!”

"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."
