Booked by 1 family in Oakland, CA

I'm Amy, a full-time nanny based in San Francisco with over 5 years of experience caring for infants and toddlers. Since January 2025, I've been working with two families in a nanny share (started when the children were 6 and 9 months old) and will be finishing with them in January 2026. I'm now looking for my next full-time position (40+ hrs/week) with one child, twins, or a nanny share in San Francisco. I'm known for being warm, dependable, and highly communicative, and for creating a calm, nurturing environment that supports early development through reading, music, and engaging routines. I'm also CPR/First Aid certified (July 2024), fully vaccinated, and hold a certification as a Pediatric Sleep Consultant, specializing in newborn care and gentle sleep foundations.

“Amy has been taking care of our 2 year old for the last half a year. Our daughter felt at ease and really enjoyed the time they shared. Amy is reliable, always on time and happy to think along in different situations. The daily schedule included a stroll and lunch at the park with lots of playing and interaction with other kids. At home Amy played creative and educative games and read books.”

"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."
