Lauryn $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Lauryn and I recently graduated from Arizona State University with 2 Bachelor degrees in Psychology and Criminal Justice! While being a student at ASU I was a full time nanny for child for 2 years. I watched him grow and develop from 2 months old all the way to 2 years old! When I had free time on the weekends I often would watch other children as well, and build close bonds with them. In my free time I enjoy doing hot yoga, watching reality TV, and hanging out with friends! I’m also CPR certified!

Sienna $45 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sienna and I've been nannying for over ten years. I grew up in Boston, where I worked in the infant room at Epiphany School caring for babies from one month up to eighteen months, so bottles, naps, diapers, and tummy time are all second nature to me by now! I've also spent plenty of time with older kids over the years, so siblings are always welcome company. I moved out to San Francisco about a year ago and live in Pacific Heights. I recently transitioned out of a role in private equity, which means I have a lot more free time and flexibility than I used to - I'm excited to put it toward something I've always loved doing. I'm patient, warm, and a big communicator; you'll hear from me during the day and get the full rundown at pickup. I went to Dartmouth College and I'm starting business school at Stanford in fall 2027, so I'm in the Bay Area for the long haul and would love to find one family to get to know and help whenever I can. Outside of work, you'll usually find me biking, hiking, or trying new restaurants around the city. Infants are my favorite age, and I feel lucky that this is the work I get to do. I'd love to meet your family!

Booked by 3 families in Oakland, CA

Hi, I’m Gabby! I’m currently in school working toward becoming a registered nurse, with hopes of specializing in pediatrics. I’ve been working with kids for several years through childcare agencies and private families, caring for children from newborns to school age. I’m comfortable with pickups and drop-offs, making meals and snacks, diapering, bedtime, homework, and taking kids to their activities. I also love doing arts and crafts, playing outside, going to the park, and keeping kids active and entertained. I’m patient, reliable, and really flexible with my availability and schedule.

“I highly recommend Gabriela. She is warm, communicative, and very responsible and reliable. I'm always nervous about introducing my kids to a new babysitter but they bonded with her instantly. She really has a way to putting kids at ease and quickly building rapport. That, combined with her great communication skills and professionalism, makes her a rare find!”

"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."
