Hi! I’m Priya, a San Francisco / Santa Clara based nanny with over 4 years of experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and twins. I’ve worked closely with families from the newborn stage into toddlerhood and am very comfortable with routines, feedings, diaper changes, sleep schedules, and helping little ones reach important milestones. I truly enjoy building strong bonds with the children I care for and creating a calm, loving environment where they feel safe and happy. I’m also happy to assist with light housekeeping and preparing meals for the children. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely passionate about childcare. I’d love to connect and see if we’re a good fit!

"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."
