Esra 3 reviews
$40 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in San Francisco, CA

Hi! I’m a loving, reliable, and energetic nanny with 6+ years of childcare experience. I’m originally from Istanbul, Turkey, and I first came to the U.S. as an au pair, which gave me the opportunity to become part of a family while caring for their children. I have a warm, playful personality that makes connecting with children come naturally to me. I love creating fun and engaging days through outdoor activities, walks, reading, creative play, and age-appropriate learning. One of the most rewarding parts of my job is watching children grow, reach new milestones, and develop their own unique personalities. I value building a strong relationship with the entire family, not just the children. Trust, communication, respect, and teamwork with parents are very important to me. I’ve been fortunate to build wonderful, long-term relationships with the families I’ve worked with, and I hope to find another family where I can become a trusted, caring, and valued part of their lives.

“👋 If anyone is in need of the most reliable, clean, energetic, positive, responsible, engaged nanny we’ve ever met, please pick Esra! Esra has been working for our family for 8 months and we hoped to work with her for a lifetime but are unexpectedly moving. Esra is our 14 mo old daughter’s best friend - she lights up our day when she walks in the door. She plays with our daughter every second of the day and takes her to the park to play with other children 2x per day. She is proactive in teaching our daughter new things and shares ideas with us for child development. She cooks and prepares all of our daughter’s meals which started with homemade purées and has evolved into full meals. She is tidy, and leaves the house as she found it every day. She is always on time, smart, driven, speaks good English, and communicates well. Our nanny partnership has been a great investment for our daughter - we couldn’t haven’t had life here in SF any other way. Our heart breaks leaving the city because it means we must leave Esra. We hope she finds an amazing new family.”

Davi 3 reviews
$35 per hour for 1 child

I am a trusted and experienced 31 year old nanny and have worked with kids of all ages since I was a teen. I have taught in Montessori classrooms and bring a child-centered and empowering approach to my work. I love to play and think it’s important to protect a child’s imagination. At the same time, I strive to provide the structure and clear boundaries that kids deserve. I am kind and communicative, and want to work with your parenting style while supporting your child’s growth. I am also able to help around the house with chores, cooking, etc. I cannot provide my own vehicle as I get around on bike, but can drive a provided vehicle. I have a clean driving record, am CPR certified, vaccinated and don’t smoke.

“I’m a public school teacher/homesteader and we hired Davi to watch our two young children as well as help in the garden. It was the best decision we could have made. She is reliable, honest, hardworking and best of all, loving. I can’t recommend her enough.”

Booked by 2 families in San Francisco, CA

My name is Marta!Love kids and enjoy spending time with them.I have a lots of experience working with different ages, started as an au pair, was taking care of twins, and then worked as a preschool teacher for 10 years,ages from 1 till 5 years old. Love doing activities with kids outside, different crafts and projects, visiting museums

“Before we relocated from San Francisco, Marta was our son’s nanny for over 2 years starting from when he was 6 months old. Marta looked after our son and another little boy during this time as part of a nanny share, and developed a close bond with both boys and their families. Marta is one of the kindest and most responsible people I have ever met. She has a gift with children and is a true carer and educator. She is incredibly dedicated to the children she cares for and she is always 100% focused on them. She understands children and knows how to build trust quickly. Marta was an incredible support to our family and was always there when we needed her. It has been a privilege having Marta in our lives. Knowing that such an amazing person was looking after our child was a huge blessing for us. We remain in contact with Marta since moving back home to Sydney, Australia and miss her dearly. I’m very happy to discuss any questions you might have, so please feel free to reach out to me.”

Catherine 2 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in San Francisco, CA

Hi families! My name is Catherine, and I’m currently a student at City College of San Francisco (CCSF), where I’m studying Community Healthcare. I have extensive experience working with children, both in Brazil and here in the U.S. I previously worked as an Au Pair for two wonderful families. With one family, I cared for two little ones under the age of 2, and with another, I cared for three boys school aged. Currently, I work part-time as a nanny for a 2 yo toddler, and one of my favorite parts of the job is spending our afternoons exploring San Francisco together! We love going to parks, libraries, playgrounds, and finding new activities around the city. These experiences helped me become very comfortable caring for children of different ages, managing daily routines, and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment.

"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."
