Hi! My name is Karina, I am a part time nanny, part time elementary school art teacher, and a part time musician. I’ve been nannying the same kids for 6 years now, and it’s my biggest joy. However; I’m looking for some occasional extra hours. Would love to help your family out and watch your kids so you can go out and enjoy a date night, or even give you just sometime to yourself. I have been babysitting and nannying kids for 15 years now, and nothing really makes me happier.

Hi there! I'm Brittany- a third generation San Francisco native and USF graduate with a degree in Sociology. Growing up in a big family, I know firsthand how busy life can get, and am always happy to jump in and lend a helping hand wherever I can :) I’ve been working with children for over a decade through childcare, tutoring, and volunteer work. I’m experienced with all ages (infants to preteens), and love engaging with kids through arts & crafts, music, outdoor play, and creative activities. In recent years, I stepped away from UrbanSitter to care for an aging relative, but am excited to connect with more wonderful families. My schedule is fairly flexible, so feel free to reach out- I’d love to hear from you!

Brittany took care of our 2 year old daughter while we were out. She was prompt, friendly, and got along well with our daughter. She put her to bed with no problem. We would definitely hire Brittany again!

Booked by 9 families in Brisbane, CA

Hi- my name is Danielle! I am a public school teacher of 4 years (3rd grade for 3, 2nd grade for 1). I’m looking to make some extra money on the side with house sitting, pet sitting, babysitting, or tutoring. I have a bachelors degree in Childhood Development, i have worked in a preschool as the head teacher and also in an after-school program with elementary aged kiddos, and also spent two years as a full time nanny to twins (3 yrs). I’m mostly looking for evening care jobs or weekends when my schedule permits. I have experience with tutoring elementary school aged kids as well as experience with special needs kids. I have a lot of pet sitting experience and have owned dogs/cats my entire life. I don’t have a ton of free time during weekdays but would be willing to work out check ins or walks if necessary. House sitting would be ideal for my schedule. I have housesat numerous times for family and friends in the past and would feel very comfortable if pets were there too!

Danielle was great, super friendly and took care of our daughter. She did not shy away from toddler behaviors and jumped right in!

Booked by 5 families in Brisbane, CA

I'm a career nanny currently looking for weekend opportunities to work with newborns to fulfill requirements for my Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula certifications. I taught elementary school for 3 years prior to being a nanny, and have been a full time nanny for 4 years. I approach child care (and most things in life) with calmness and understanding. I love building relationships with kids and watching them grow. Please reach out if you’d like a few hours of additional support with the newest member of your family!

It is with both gratitude and sadness that we share this recommendation for Amanda, who has been not just our nanny for the past year and a half, but truly a part of our family. We are relocating, and while we are excited for what’s ahead, leaving Amanda behind is one of the hardest parts of our move. When Amanda first came into our lives, we were coming off of a less-than-ideal experience with another nanny. From the start, she completely changed how we viewed having someone care for our children. Her calm, steady presence and the gentle, loving way she interacts with our kids put us at ease right away. She meets each child where they are and connects with them in a genuine, heartfelt way. Our children bonded with Amanda quickly, and it’s clear how much they love her. She is endlessly creative—whether it’s researching new activities, planning fun outings, or setting up thoughtful crafts, she always brings fresh ideas that are engaging and age-appropriate. She has been such a gift in helping our kids learn, play, and explore the world around them. She’s the one who got our son hooked on books, happily reading with him for hours. One of the things we appreciate most is Amanda’s calm and grounded nature—we have never seen her lose her cool. She is never distracted or on her phone; when she is with our kids, she is fully present and engaged. On a practical level, Amanda is everything you’d hope for in a caregiver: punctual, professional, dependable, and communicative. She always checked in with us and approached everything as a true teammate. We trusted her completely and relied on her every day, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s impossible to overstate how much we’ll miss Amanda, and we wish she could come with us. Any family lucky enough to work with her will quickly realize just how special she is. While we may be moving, Amanda will always be a part of our lives and our children’s lives—her impact on our family is lasting.
