“Megan was our full-time nanny for 6 months, starting when our son was 2 months old, and she was a wonderful fit for our family. She was always punctual, reliable, and genuinely caring with our son. As requested, she consistently provided updates on bottle feedings, naps, and diaper changes, and completed her tasks before the end of each shift. Overall, she was a warm, dependable, and professional caregiver, and we would recommend her to any family.”

Claudia $35 per hour for 1 child

As a proud San Francisco native and mother of three amazing young adults, I bring over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for children from birth to 5 years old. Supporting little ones through their earliest milestones has been one of the greatest joys of my life — both as a parent and as a caregiver. I have completed units in Child Development, which have strengthened my understanding of early childhood growth, learning styles, and age-appropriate care. I truly love being part of a child’s development — watching them take their first steps, say their first words, and grow in confidence. Being a steady, nurturing presence and part of a family’s support system means everything to me. As a bilingual caregiver fluent in English and Spanish, I enjoy incorporating language, culture, and creativity into daily activities. I am especially proud to share my Latino heritage with the families I work alongside, bringing warmth, tradition, and cultural appreciation into the home. I strive to create a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children feel secure, supported, and encouraged to thrive. I can provide references upon request.

"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."
