Hello families! ¡Hola, Familias! I am Paula (or Pau). I was born and raised in Colombia; I moved to the US in 2014 as an Au Pair (live-in nanny). I worked with two families in two different cities and have remained a nanny ever since. Some of the things I love are music, spending time outdoors, animals, hiking, dancing, swimming, and reading. My experience with kids began when I was 10. I come from a huge family, so I've been around kids my whole life. I am very energetic and creative so I like to come up with different activities age-convenient outside and inside the house, I have worked with kids of all ages including twins, newborns and toddlers; I love to spend time with kids, I like to play with them and teach them new things (like Spanish) and I think that security is the key to proper development for the kids so my primary goal is to make kids feel safe to play and learn and have fun of course! If you have any questions/or you don't see availability in my calendar, please feel free to message me. Hablo español porque soy de Colombia. Si tiene dudas, preguntas o peticiones, por favor no dude en enviarme un mensaje, con mucho gusto le atiendo. Thank you for your interest. ****SITTER POLICY*** - By scheduling a booking with me, you're acknowledging that you've read and will abide by this policy. -PAYMENT: Cash only, please. -AVAILABILITY: Occasional and temporary part-time care. Pet and house sitting. -RATES: My rates are the same whether the child is awake or asleep and the rate per hour depends on the amount of chores and responsibilities I’ll be in charge of. I charge double time for the following holidays: New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, Valentine's Day, 4th of July, Thanksgiving Day, Day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and Day after Christmas. CANCELATIONS: I understand that plans change. However, I do recommend a 48-hour notice so I can try to fulfill my calendar with a new booking. BOOKINGS: I charge for the full time I was booked for , regardless if I get dismissed earlier than expected because I plan my time and my budget around my bookings. So please, give me a 48h notice if you need to cancel. Also, if you plan on arriving later than expected, please let me know at least 1 hour before the booking is supposed to end. I'm usually flexible with late arrivals, but sometimes I have more than one booking on the same day, and your late arrival can negatively affect the rest of my day. Thanks for reading! :)
“Paula was great! Very calm and a natural caregiver. Our kids want to know when she's coming back....”
Hello! I'm a dedicated and loving nanny with 20 years of experience caring for children aged 2 months to 12 years in the Bay Area. Originally from New Zealand, I hold a National Nanny Certificate (NZNNC) and am certified in Infant/Child CPR & First Aid. I'm also Trustline certified. In addition to my nanny experience, I've worked in preschools, taught swimming lessons, and lifeguarded. I'm passionate about providing top-notch care and creating fun, engaging activities for kids. I'm familiar with baby sign language and enjoy arts and crafts, baking, and outdoor adventures. *Currently Seeking:* - Evening and weekend babysitting hours (flexible schedule) - Families who value honesty about health and are COVID-cautious, no sick child care. - Easy parking available for SF jobs (I live in Daly City) *About Me:* - As a mom of two teenagers (16 and 17), I've honed my skills in supporting kids' growth and development. - I enjoy activities like arts and crafts, walks, and trips to the beach. If you're looking for a reliable, caring, and experienced nanny, I'd love to chat!
Hi! I’m a 29-year-old recent medical school graduate with a deep love for caring for others, especially kids. I graduated from the University of San Francisco and have spent time working at UCSF in cancer research, as well as building a nonprofit organization that I’m incredibly passionate about. I’ve had several years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages, including those with medical complexities. I’ve supervised up to 15 kids at a time while directing a summer science camp, provided consistent after-school care, and worked closely with families over multiple years. I also spent three years working at a tutoring center, so I’m very comfortable helping with homework and learning activities. I truly enjoy creating fun, engaging experiences for kids, whether that’s baking together, doing arts and crafts, playing sports, exploring parks, or organizing little “adventures” around the city like trips to museums, hikes, or the beach. I’ve also supported families during overnights, vacations, and special events like birthdays and weddings. I’m known for being extremely patient, dependable, and a strong communicator with parents. Most importantly, I genuinely love building meaningful connections with the children I care for and always put my whole heart into the families I work with. I’d love to connect and support your family however I can! :)
Hi, I’m Samara! I’m an experienced and caring nanny with a true passion for childcare. I volunteered for 8 years in a daycare in Brazil, caring for kids from 6 months to 7 years old, and I’ve been babysitting in the U.S. since 2016, including 2 years as an au pair. Families describe me as responsible, trustworthy, and always on time. I love helping children learn, develop, and have fun! I look forward to meeting you and your family! Sincerely, Samara
Hi! I’m Yuri, a recent graduate from San Francisco State University with a Master’s degree in Cell Biology. I’m currently looking for occasional babysitting opportunities, especially for date nights and weekend help! I’ve been babysitting professionally for about 12 years and also grew up helping care for my 6 younger siblings. As a San Francisco native, I love building strong connections with local families and creating fun, enriching experiences for kids. I especially enjoy nurturing children’s creativity and curiosity through arts and crafts, reading in silly voices, building forts, digging for “gems” in edible sand (blended cereal!), Legos, nature walks, museums, and play groups. I have a Montessori-inspired, gentle parenting approach and love encouraging children’s independence, imagination, and confidence in a warm and supportive environment. Working with children genuinely brings me so much joy, and I hope to continue babysitting while I work toward finding a permanent full-time position in research. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your little one(s)!

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
