Hello my name is Xoe I have lived in SF for almost 6 years. I originally moved to work with kids and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and transitioned into the teen mental health space. Prior to this I worked as a nanny short term with different families ages ranging from 5 months to 12 yo. Over the last 5+ years I have worked with numerous kids of various ages and abilities. I have experience and knowledge working with children with ADHD, behavioral issues, ASD, and mental health struggles. I have experience with Montessori style teaching, Feber method, and solid introduction. I recently completed my first year of my masters in social work program with an emphasis on early childhood education. I am CPR and first aid certified for infants, children, and adults via the Red Cross.

“Xoe took care of my 3.5 year old son for a week and did a fantastic job. My son opened up to her quickly and enjoyed spending time with her. She is attentive and keeps kids engaged and active. I would highly recommend Xoe for any childcare position.”

I’m 25 years old, I grew up in the Bay Area, I was born in Oakland and raised in San Francisco. Both my parents are from Guatemala so I am open to speaking Spanish!

I love working with kids and seeing their potential and I believe they deserve patience to learn and grow.

“Amarilis was super friendly, approachable, and punctual. Our daughter warmed right up to her and had a blast drawing and playing games while we were out. Will definitely hire again!”

"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."
