Hi everyone, I have been babysitting for 4 years. Some of the few things I enjoy doing with children are playing games, coloring/drawing or being active and playing outdoors!
My name is Fernanda, and I am from Colombia. I am university trained and licensed as a teacher in Colombia where I taught children ages 4 years to 14 years old. I am fluent in English and Spanish and for the past 2 years have been employed as a nanny caring for children ages 6 months to 3 years old. I am a very patient, responsible, and dependable person who is about promoting the well-being and overall development of children.
“Maria (she goes by Fernanda) was great with my two year old. She got here right as I was in the middle of my daughter having just had an accident. Fernanda took over and handled it without complaint and helped change her. My toddler warmed up to her immediately and Fernanda took great care of her. Would definitely have her back!”
Hi! I’m Xeriz, a 23-year-old with a passion for caring for children. I’ve worked as a nanny in different cities over the years, and now, as an ABA behavior technician, I love supporting kids, especially those with special needs. I’m friendly, patient, and adaptable, always making sure to create a fun, safe, and loving environment for children. I also enjoy meal prepping and can easily tailor meals to your family’s needs, whether it’s keto, vegan, low-carb, or protein-focused. I’ve lived with families as their nanny before, so I’m used to adjusting to different routines and can do the same for you. Music is another big part of my life and something I’m truly passionate about :) I sing and play multiple instruments, and I’m always happy to share that with the kids through fun musical activities or even teaching them to play if they’re interested. Now that I’m back in NorCal, I’m excited to focus on what I love most which is helping children grow and making a positive impact on your family’s life!
Hi! My name is Julia, and I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic caregiver with experience caring for infants, toddlers, children, and pets. I currently work as a nanny in San Francisco and truly enjoy creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. I have a background in Veterinary Medicine, which has strengthened my attention to detail, patience, and ability to stay calm in any situation. Families describe me as dependable, kind, organized, and proactive. I love planning age-appropriate activities, spending time outdoors, reading, arts and crafts, and helping children reach developmental milestones. I’m also comfortable assisting with light household tasks related to the children, meal preparation, bedtime routines, transportation, and pet care. My goal is always to provide peace of mind for parents while making each day fun and enriching for the children in my care.
“Julia was wonderful with my two girls! She was on time, very sweet, and the girls warmed up to her quickly. I felt comfortable leaving them with her and everything went really well. I would definitely have her back!”

"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."
