Booked by 26 families in Oakland, CA

Please call me Annie as all my friends do! I have cared for a number of SF families during my 10 years living here. During this decade my childcare work has ranged from infants 2 months old to children 5 years old. I adore seeing the city through their eyes and enjoy our museum trips, library excursions, and park adventures! I am well versed in handling children on Muni, and I am comfortable driving your car in the city. I am proficient in Mandarin and willing to tutor or speak with your child in this language. Before moving to SF I had 8 years of experience working with infants and children, particularly in daycare and tutoring environments. I have babysat since I was first “allowed” at 12 years old, but as an older sister I like to think my experience predates the age of 12. I also professionally care for dogs (and personally my cat) so I'm more than happy to look after your furry friends.

“Anne did a wonderful job at taking care of our infant. We would certainly hire her again. Thank you!”

Hi, I’m Katherine! I started babysitting a couple of years ago for family, and then decided to work in the food industry. I worked for social vocational services, where I gained experience working with adults that have intellectual disabilities. There I was able to introduce many skills that everyone should be able to learn. I currently work for a beautiful family of 4 kids in the evening. They leave on vacation for the holidays and I will be available during holiday breaks, as well as mornings!

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!!”

"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."
