Sandra $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sandra, but I love being called Sandy! 😊 I’m 28 years old and originally from Mexico. I moved to the U.S. in 2019, and I’m fluent in Spanish and currently improving my English. I’ve been caring for kids since I was 12, starting by helping take care of my younger siblings and family members. I have experience with children from 3 months to 10 years old, and I truly enjoy creating a safe, loving, and fun environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for. I’m happy to help with more than just childcare, whether it’s preparing meals, tidying up after the kids, doing light household tasks, or keeping their routines on track. And I love to cook! I also have two dogs, so I’m very comfortable around pets and happy to help with them as well. 🐶❤️ I’m a caring, responsible, patient, and dependable person, and I would love the opportunity to become someone your family can trust and feel comfortable having around your children. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones! 😊

Ereste $40 per hour for 1 child

As a nurturing and experienced childcare provider with six years of experience, my passion lies in nurturing the growth and development of children. I am patient, calm, and possess a creative imagination that fuels engaging activities. My friendly and approachable nature allows me to build strong relationships with the children in my care. I prioritize open communication with parents, ensuring they receive regular updates about their child's day and any concerns that arise. I adapt to their preferred communication method, whether it's verbal communication at pickup, text messages, or phone calls. When it comes to household rules, I am very comfortable enforcing them while maintaining a positive and nurturing environment. My goal is to help children understand the importance of rules and boundaries while fostering a sense of respect and responsibility.

Ingrid $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Ingrid, and I currently work for the SFUSD. I have also worked at the Early Education School (EDD). I offer childcare, elder care, and housekeeping services. I love caring for young children and am very helpful. I have been caring for children since I was 14 because I have three younger siblings and two nieces. My responsibilities have included driving them to school, picking them up, feeding them, helping them with their homework, playing with them, exercising with them, and taking them to the park. I can also do grocery shopping and run errands, and I can walk dogs. I am very allergic to cats, but I am happy to work families who have dogs.

"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."
