Hello families! I’m from Argentina and fluent in Spanish, Italian, and English, with a basic understanding of Portuguese. I consider myself patient, organized, responsible, active, adventurous, and fun. I lead an active lifestyle and enjoy various sports and outdoor activities. I have 9+ years of experience caring for children of all ages, both in Argentina while studying Nutrition and here in San Francisco. I moved to San Francisco in 2021 and worked as an au pair for a year. Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to work with several families and gain experience with children of different ages, including solo care, sibling and group care, weekends, full days, and overnights. I recently completed a three-year position with the same family in San Francisco, caring for their son from toddlerhood until he started school. Now that he has started school, I’m back on the app and looking for my next family to work with. I’m excited to bring the experience and skills I’ve developed over the years to a new family. I have a genuine passion for working with children. I come from a big family and have always been surrounded by children of different ages. My mom was a kindergarten teacher, so I grew up with a strong appreciation for working with children. I enjoy creating fun and engaging experiences for children and love taking them to parks, playgrounds, libraries, museums, and other local activities. I also enjoy incorporating active play, learning, and exploration into our time together. Additionally, I have a love for animals, especially dogs, and have had pets my entire life. I’m comfortable and confident caring for them and enjoy taking them to the park or incorporating them into our daily routine. I’m CPR certified and fully vaccinated. I have great references available upon request. I’m excited to meet a new family and create a great relationship built on trust, communication, and reliability!

“Maria was great with my kids! In fact they have already requested her for our next event! ”

My patience and flexibility have been key traits that have helped me create and maintain relationships with children and youth. I enjoy seeing children smile and reaching their fullest potential. Working at an elementary school for seven years has helped me appreciate all the gifts they can offer our world. In addition, I believe adolescents are wonderful beings with so much love to offer this world if given the opportunity.

"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."
