Ines $27 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am Inés and I am currently studying speech therapy at SF State. I have 3+ years working in schools with children ages 5-10 and was most recently working as the Assistant PE teacher K-2 at the Hamlin School. I was educated in the Waldorf pedagogy and try to incorporate those values with children. I am trilingual in Spanish, English, and Italian as well as an elementary understanding of German and French. Apart from spending my time studying I enjoy hiking, reading, and experimenting in the kitchen. I also thoroughly enjoy knitting and anything that involves working with my hands.

Booked by 1 family in Berkeley, CA

Hello! My name is Johanna, and I am currently between jobs, figuring out the next phase of my career. I am originally from Vermont and moved to San Francisco about 2 years ago. I went to college and lived in NYC for 15 years and never thought I would leave, but here I am! Since I'm a country girl at heart, I feel like I get the best of both worlds living in San Francisco; between the city life and endless natural wonders, it's truly a majestic place where I spend a lot of my time hiking and exploring. I spent a lot of time babysitting while I was in high school and college. My mom gave birth to my youngest sibling when I was in high school (a 17-year age gap), so I spent significant time caring for him as an infant. I also have two nieces and one nephew whom I absolutely adore. I love kids and working with people in general, and I am very good at it. I worked in sales for 8 years in the beauty industry for The Estée Lauder Companies (ELC), so I truly enjoy connecting with others. I consider myself an empathic, nurturing, and bubbly individual who loves helping others. I also love animals. I am more of a dog person, but I adore all creatures. I used to do a bit of dog sitting in high school and currently dog-sit for a family friend. I am open to watching children, seniors, and pets, as well as helping with household services.

Booked by 1 family in Berkeley, CA

I’ve been caring for others for most of my life. babysitting at 11 for the family next door, caring for a 3-month-old, a toddler, and sometimes their 6-year-old as well. Since then, I’ve babysat and nannied for 14 years and have cared for as many as five children at once, ranging from newborns to teens. I especially love babies and am very confident with infant care, routines, feeding, soothing, and creating a calm, safe environment. I’ve been CPR and First Aid certified twice, including for infants. I’m warm, responsible, patient, highly attentive, and very safety-conscious. I’m also comfortable caring for children with allergies, illness, or injuries, and bring a calm, compassionate presence. Beyond childcare, I’ve cared for three grandparents (one paralyzed), including end-of-life care, which deepened my patience, gentleness, and reliability. I’ve also had dogs all my life and have lived with and cared for cats, so I’m very comfortable with pet care too. I’m a nurturing, trustworthy caregiver who genuinely loves caring for children, seniors, and animals.

Laura $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m laura I’m 25 years old. I was an au pair for one year and a half getting a lot of experience with childcare, after that I kept helping families as a nanny. Being caring, respectful and communication is important for me. when I’m with kids, I love to keep them engaged by doing arts and crafts, going to the playground, library or taking time to play dates I love spending time with children, explore creativity to the fullest all kinds of things that we can enjoy time together, teach them things, see the world as they see it, my favorite hobby is reading. I love to read and I love to teach that to children. When I am with babies I love to see their growth, take care of them, support them in their growth and motor development. I would love to be a support for parents, helping them at all times based on my knowledge of first aid and CPR. Looking forward to meeting you!

Lauryn $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Lauryn and I recently graduated from Arizona State University with 2 Bachelor degrees in Psychology and Criminal Justice! While being a student at ASU I was a full time nanny for child for 2 years. I watched him grow and develop from 2 months old all the way to 2 years old! When I had free time on the weekends I often would watch other children as well, and build close bonds with them. In my free time I enjoy doing hot yoga, watching reality TV, and hanging out with friends! I’m also CPR certified!

"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."
