Esra 3 reviews
$40 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Oakland, CA

Hi! I’m a loving, reliable, and energetic nanny with 6+ years of childcare experience. I’m originally from Istanbul, Turkey, and I first came to the U.S. as an au pair, which gave me the opportunity to become part of a family while caring for their children. I have a warm, playful personality that makes connecting with children come naturally to me. I love creating fun and engaging days through outdoor activities, walks, reading, creative play, and age-appropriate learning. One of the most rewarding parts of my job is watching children grow, reach new milestones, and develop their own unique personalities. I value building a strong relationship with the entire family, not just the children. Trust, communication, respect, and teamwork with parents are very important to me. I’ve been fortunate to build wonderful, long-term relationships with the families I’ve worked with, and I hope to find another family where I can become a trusted, caring, and valued part of their lives.

“👋 If anyone is in need of the most reliable, clean, energetic, positive, responsible, engaged nanny we’ve ever met, please pick Esra! Esra has been working for our family for 8 months and we hoped to work with her for a lifetime but are unexpectedly moving. Esra is our 14 mo old daughter’s best friend - she lights up our day when she walks in the door. She plays with our daughter every second of the day and takes her to the park to play with other children 2x per day. She is proactive in teaching our daughter new things and shares ideas with us for child development. She cooks and prepares all of our daughter’s meals which started with homemade purées and has evolved into full meals. She is tidy, and leaves the house as she found it every day. She is always on time, smart, driven, speaks good English, and communicates well. Our nanny partnership has been a great investment for our daughter - we couldn’t haven’t had life here in SF any other way. Our heart breaks leaving the city because it means we must leave Esra. We hope she finds an amazing new family.”

Catherine 2 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Oakland, CA

Hi families! My name is Catherine, and I’m currently a student at City College of San Francisco (CCSF), where I’m studying Community Healthcare. I have extensive experience working with children, both in Brazil and here in the U.S. I previously worked as an Au Pair for two wonderful families. With one family, I cared for two little ones under the age of 2, and with another, I cared for three boys school aged. Currently, I work part-time as a nanny for a 2 yo toddler, and one of my favorite parts of the job is spending our afternoons exploring San Francisco together! We love going to parks, libraries, playgrounds, and finding new activities around the city. These experiences helped me become very comfortable caring for children of different ages, managing daily routines, and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment.

Hi! I’m Maria I’m 24, bilingual in Spanish and English, and I’ve been babysitting and nannying since I was 14. I’ve cared for children of all ages, from newborns to school-aged kids, and I truly enjoy being someone families can rely on. Growing up in a big family, I’m comfortable in busy households and know how to keep kids engaged while making sure their routines stay on track. I love doing crafts, playing games, going on walks or outings, helping with homework, preparing meals, and simply making everyday moments fun and positive. I’m also happy to help with meal prep, children’s laundry, light housekeeping, organizing, errands, and pet care when needed. I’d describe myself as reliable, patient, caring, responsible, and easy to communicate with. I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident in the person caring for their children, and I always do my best to create a safe, positive, and welcoming environment. I’m happy to provide references and would love to connect and see if I’d be a good fit for your family!

"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."
