Natalie $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Natalie, I'm 27, and I’m an experienced educator and caregiver who genuinely loves spending time with kids. I recently moved from Colorado to SF. Prior to moving, I worked with children from toddler age through middle school as a preschool teacher, elementary and middle school teacher, literacy interventionist, substitute teacher, and youth sports coach. I would be happy to provide references from any or all of these roles! I’m warm, patient, dependable, and love getting to know each child’s unique personality and interests. I’m always happy to read, do crafts, play games, get outside, help with homework, or just be silly and have fun! I’m also comfortable helping with meals/meal prep, transportation, household tasks, and pets. I strive to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves!

Booked by 1 family in Oakland, CA

Hello Families, I have over 7 years of experience caring for children from 6 months to 9 years old. I love creating fun, safe, and engaging days for children through reading books, arts and crafts, acrylic painting, music time, baking simple recipes together, outdoor play, and visits to parks, playgrounds, libraries, and museums. I also enjoy supporting early learning by helping children develop language, social, and problem solving skills through play and daily activities. I am patient, caring, reliable, and organized, and I truly enjoy building warm and loving relationships with the children and families I work with. My goal is always to create a positive environment where children feel safe, happy, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. Best, Nagihan

“Nagihan was amazing! She was so attentive and helpful. Our kids were happy and clean (and so was our house!) when we got home. it’s nice to find good ppl like this on the app. My daughter wants Nagihan to braid her hair again. (She never lets me, her mom, do it.) Thanks Nagihan!”

"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."
