I started nannying after leaving my job as a TV producer when my son was born in 2004. Since then I've cared for numerous newborns, babies, and toddlers, including several sets of twins. The last few years I've had the joy of nannying my niece's twin boys who just turned 4. As preemies, they required specialized round-the-clock care that I was privileged to be part of. Now they're healthy, happy, and enjoying preschool, so my time has freed up and I'd love to share it with other babies and little ones. Most recently I’ve cared for a new set of twin boys, in addition to two separate 4 month old girls. Because I’m not looking for full time work, my schedule is often flexible. One of my hobbies is photography, so you can expect plenty of photos of your little one throughout our time together.
“Bonita is so wonderful! She watched our daughter Olive starting from when she was just three months old—we were nervous to have someone besides us take care of her so young, but Bonita is so good with babies and made us feel comfortable immediately. She’s incredibly reliable, flexible, and just a really kind and warm person. Can’t recommend her enough!”
Hello! I'm Mariana. I'm currently a babysitter of a family with 3 lovely boys (6 years, 4 years, 5 month baby). I'm offering child care, and looking for a part-time job in the weekends. I have a preschool degree, and I had worked as a preschool teacher in Mexico for 7 years. I moved to US in 2023. I had worked with 3 different families (Oregon & California). In Oregon I volunteered in my host kids kindergarten. I'm open to take care of kids of any age! But I love to take care of kids between 2 and 5 years. I also love doing craft projects, experiments, fun activites like cooking, hikes, going to the beach, etc. I can prepare basic meals, snacks, or dinner. Help with baths, morning and bedtime routines and keep the house clean and tidy. I speak spanish so I'd enjoy to encourage your children to learn some of it! I'm a pet lover as well, dogs & cats are the sweetest and I'd enjoy taking care of them too! Thanks for reading my profile and open to chat if you are interested ☺️
“Mariana was great! Arrived early, and even put dishes in the dishwasher after the baby went to bed.”
Hi, my name is Maryanne! I’m a local college student working towards my degree in Marine Biology. I worked at the Randall Museum, I got to take care of the museum animals and also teach field trip classes! I’m currently working as a Vet Tech at Veterinary Hospital in the Marina part time! I have about 7 years of babysitting/nannying experience, I’ve worked with children from 2 months-13 years old. Caretaking and teaching is something I truly love doing. I am also CPR/First Aid Certified! I enjoy activities that include arts, crafts, nature, and music! Growing up in San Francisco has given me so much love for the arts as well as the beautiful parks in the area
“Maryanne is great! She arrived early and immediately jumped into play with my preschooler. He usually freaks out when we leave, but he was having so much fun with Maryanne already that he didn’t even want to pause to say goodbye 😂 ”
I’m a caring and reliable babysitter with experience working with children of many different ages. I currently work with special needs kids, which has helped me develop strong patience, communication skills, and a calm, supportive approach. I truly love working with children and plan to go into education after college. I enjoy creating a safe, fun environment where kids feel comfortable, engaged, and encouraged to be themselves.
Hello! My name is Anna, I'm a proud Filipino and I’m a single mom of two beautiful adult daughters who continue to be my greatest joy and inspiration. I’m a U.S. citizen, a naturally jolly and positive person, and I do my best to keep negativity far away from my life and the people around me. I absolutely love kids and enjoy creating a fun, safe, and caring environment for them. I also work in a senior housing building, which has taught me patience, compassion, and the value of meaningful connections. I’m someone you can truly trust, responsible, and kind-hearted. I'm happy to work part-time with a family, and I’d really love to find a family I can stay with long-term. If we’re a good fit, I’d be more than happy to commit to the family for the long run and build a great relationship with them❤️

"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."
