Booked by 1 family in San Francisco, CA

Hi! I’m Mara, 26 years old, an experienced and passionate nanny. With a background in Early Childhood Education, I bring warmth, structure, and creativity to each child’s daily routine. I have hands-on experience caring for infants and toddlers, providing nurturing support with feeding, burping, soothing, naps, tummy time, and sensory play. I love going on walks, visiting the library, reading books, and supporting early developmental milestones through play. With older children, I enjoy creating fun and meaningful experiences through games, dancing, storytelling, puzzles, and outings to parks, museums, and libraries. I focus on creating a safe, loving, and stimulating environment where children feel secure, seen, and encouraged to grow. In addition to childcare, I also offer pet sitting services. I have experience caring for cats and dogs and truly enjoy spending time with animals.

“Mara is fantastic! She is punctual, responsible, and very kind. She connects easily with our 5-year-old and keeps him engaged with fun activities while ensuring he is safe and well cared for. We truly appreciate her positive energy and would gladly recommend her to other families.”

Hi - My name is Mileide and I have extensive experience caring for children of various ages, including babies, 1 year old, 2-year-old, 5-year-old, and 7-year-old. My responsibilities have included getting them ready for the day, preparing and feeding meals, playing with them, taking them outside, going to the playground, managing nap time, doing laundry, and keeping everything related to the children clean and organized. I am passionate about taking care of kids and pride myself on being loving, energetic, and responsible. I enjoy teaching children colors, numbers, and letters, and I strive to encourage their curiosity and learning. Singing and reading books are also activities I love to do with them to foster creativity and language development. With a healthy lifestyle and a strong sense of organization, I am also a great cook and enjoy preparing nutritious meals for children.

“Mileide was punctual, spent quality time with our son and did a great job with his bedtime routine. She was also very communicative. Thanks, Mileide.”

Keianna 1 review
$35 per hour for 1 child

With experience spanning newborns to high schoolers, I bring a depth of care that’s rare to find in one caregiver. My background includes both public schools and Montessori-inspired private school,where I’ve learned to meet every child exactly where they are — nurturing independence, curiosity, and confidence along the way. I’ve had the privilege of supporting families in all kinds of seasons: working alongside night nurses during those tender early months, providing thoughtful care for children with disabilities and learning differences, and showing up as a steady, trusted presence for the whole family. Whether you need a helping hand at bedtime, after-school support, or something in between, I’m here for it.

“I cannot recommend Keianna enough! She has watched both my daughter and son multiple times, and my kids absolutely adore her. From the very beginning, she made them feel comfortable, safe, and excited to spend time with her. She is incredibly patient, trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely fun with kids. When I gave birth to my son, she stayed overnight with my daughter for two nights, and I honestly could not have asked for someone better to care for her during such an important time for our family. Knowing my daughter was safe, happy, and comfortable with someone she loves gave me so much peace of mind. She keeps the kids engaged, plays with them, and treats them with so much kindness and attention. My kids are always excited to see her, which says everything. I trust her completely and would recommend her to any family looking for an amazing babysitter.”

Booked by 2 families in San Francisco, CA

Hello! I'm a recent UCSB graduate and new SF resident! I studied Environmental Studies and Art History and have had a diverse range of jobs from waitressing to wetland field research. I am currently pursuing an online program in GIS & Geospatial Technology through UCLA. I’ve worked with kids through multiple channels such as being a teaching assistant to a planter-box construction class at a middle school, working as a camp counselor, in afterschool art programs, hosting kids gardening events, and babysitting. I’m most familiar working with the 3-12yr range. I love exploring and sharing my love of the environment and natural sciences with others. I am equally as passionate about art, and try to make art with everything I do. I’d love to share my interests in the outdoors and in art with your kids! From spending time with kids, I’ve learned they are the biggest blessing and strain life can give you. I am very fond of spending time with kids--listening to their hopes, dreams and complaints, building forts, coming up with new dances, and drawing pictures you can hang in your home until they go to college. Anything to distract them from their tablets. Let me work for you and this can all be yours! If you’d like to see my real resume, I’m more than happy to share!

Ryan 1 review
$36 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Ryan and I am a senior at Duke University graduating this May. I will be back in San Francisco for the summer and would love to help out with babysitting and childcare! I have been looking after children since I was 10 as the oldest of three siblings. In recent years I have worked primarily with children ages 5–7, though I am comfortable caring for kids of all ages. My experience includes camp pickup and drop-off, daytime childcare, pool and outdoor activity supervision, date night babysitting, and helping with light household tasks. I also enjoy helping with homework, summer reading, and other academic support when helpful. As a Duke student with tutoring experience, I am eager to help kids stay engaged with learning over the summer. I love planning fun and engaging activities for kids—whether that’s arts and crafts, baking, reading together, or outdoor adventures. My personal interests include the performing arts (a cappella, dance, acting, and filmmaking), being outdoors, cooking and baking, and reading (I am a huge Harry Potter fan!). I also love animals and am very happy to help with pets or house-sitting. I would be delighted to spend time with your kids and help make your summer a little easier!

“Ryan has babysat for us several times. She is fantastic with my daughters(now 9 and 7) and has babysat them at younger ages as well over the years. Ryan is responsible, reliable, engaging, and fun. She will play with your kids and be present with them. They will love her!”

"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."
