Booked by 28 families in South San Francisco, CA

Hello families!! My name is Esthefania, and I am looking for full time role (split schedule accepted, ROTA position more than welcome), or two part time roles. I am currently doing a ROTA nanny backup care for 6 amazing children, but I’m looking for a long term role where I can bring my love and passion for taking care of others. I have been doing this for 8 years, amazing years with rewards and challenges, but always open to learn and accept feedback. I have work authorization, so a W-2 position is welcomed. I honor the family’s rules, but I am also proactive and comfortable taking initiative. I believe being a nanny is about more than just taking care of the children. It’s about becoming a trusted and reliable part of the household. I am open to step in whatever is needed in the household, from light tidying up to laundry, grocery shopping and meal prep! Let’s connect. I can’t wait to meet you!

“Esthefania is an amazing caretaker! She watched our twins for a week while their regular nanny was away and dropped right into our routine. She is warm and capable and kind. ”

Booked by 216 families in South San Francisco, CA

My name is Michelle, and I’ve been working as a career nanny for the past 10 years. I hold a degree in Psychology with an emphasis in Child Psychology, and caring for children has always been my passion. I recently moved back home to continue my work with families and absolutely love babysitting whenever I get the chance or when I’m home visiting family. As for my experience, I’ve been caring for children since I was about 10 years old. Over the years, I’ve worked with kids of all ages — from newborns and toddlers to teenagers — and have supported families in a wide variety of ways, including: • Tutoring and assisting in after-school programs (ages 8–12) • Nannying for several families with children ranging from infants to teens • Providing on-call babysitting for multiple families as needed • Transporting children to school, practices, games, and outings • Working as a “mother’s helper,” assisting with errands, laundry, dishes, cleaning, and organizing the home In addition to my professional background, I’m also a mom to two young children (ages 2 and 4), which has deepened my understanding of children’s emotional and developmental needs. I’ve cared for groups as small as two and as large as fifteen, so I’m very comfortable managing multiple children and adapting to busy schedules. I’m upbeat, friendly, responsible, and always happy to help wherever needed. I truly believe I have a natural way with kids, and I’d love the opportunity to support your family!

“Michelle was extremely competent, kind, and low-key. I am so grateful to have found her.”

Hi, my name is Melissa! I’m a caring and responsible person with experience working with both children and pets. I enjoy building positive connections, whether it’s supporting kids with schoolwork, engaging them in fun activities, or making sure pets get the exercise and attention they need. I’ve mentored students and worked with children of different ages, helping with homework, planning activities, and encouraging their growth. I’m also a dog owner myself, so I understand the importance of regular walks, playtime, and keeping pets safe and happy. I’m comfortable with kids of all ages as well as pets of different sizes and breeds, and I always bring patience, energy, and reliability to the families I work with.

“Melissa was reliable and easy to work with. My daughter enjoyed her company and the outing went smoothly. Would book 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."
