Muluken $30 per hour for 1 child

My name is Muluken Andarge, and I am a caring, dependable, and responsible childcare provider with more than 20 years of experience as a mother, along with hands-on experience in babysitting, childcare, family assistance, household support, and driving.

Alsu $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi - my name is Ally, and I studied education at university, giving me a strong foundation in child development and age-appropriate learning. I love working with kids and have cared for three toddlers at once, keeping them engaged, safe, and having fun throughout the day. I’m patient, attentive, and great at turning everyday moments into hands-on learning opportunities. I’m also bilingual in English and Russian, so I can bring some language exposure into playtime if that’s ever useful for a family. Families can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and genuinely invested in their child’s wellbeing.

Rosario $36 per hour for 1 child

August/September) Our amazing nanny, Rosario, is looking for her next family (or nanny share) as our youngest and her nanny share buddy head off to preschool at the end of August. Rosario has been with us since our daughter was 6 months old, and she has truly become part of our family. She is caring, resourceful, and communicative. She has 7+ years of experience with both single-family care and nanny shares, and shes been incredible with the girls. She helped get them on a great nap schedule, guided them through potty training, and is always sending pictures and updates throughout the day. She keeps them busy with trips to the park, library, music class, the California Academy of Sciences, Children's Creative Museum, and lots of neighborhood adventures. She also speaks Spanish with the girls and always packs an extra home-made pupusa for our kids. And she also manages to do her hair in the morning in the most adorable way. Rosario is looking for either one family or a nanny share starting at the end of August or in September. She's looking for full-time work and is open to new neighborhoods (our current nanny share is located in Noe Valley). We're so grateful for the love and care she's given our daughter over the past few years. We're going to miss her so much and can't recommend her enough. I'm happy to answer any questions or share more about our experience. (just send a dm!)

"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."
