I’m a credentialed middle school science teacher in San Francisco with 4+ years of classroom experience. I’m calm, reliable, and enjoy creating a safe, engaging environment for kids of all ages. I’ve also spent a lot of time caring for my young nephews and supporting family members through end-of-life care, which has deepened my patience and attentiveness. I have a near-perfect driving record and am happy to help with school pickup, homework, and outdoor activities.
“Asia has been a wonderful family member and occasional caregiver to my elementary age oldest kid. She also can take on the two younger ones, who are twins of preschool age. She was so sweet and helpful with them when they were infants and is great with kids at the toddler age as well. Asia is organized and good at rolling with kids’ curiosity and playfulness. She is also a thorough communicator and a great partner in babysitting. If you ask her to pay attention to a certain thing or leave you some information about how the day went, she will go above and beyond. She is great at checking her messages and staying in touch, as well. Highly recommend. Five stars. 😉”
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.”
"Every child you encounter is a divine appointment." —Wess Stafford Hi, I’m Tiffany! An optimistic, fun, and patient caregiver with a passion for working with children of all ages. I believe in fostering creativity, learning through play, and creating a nurturing environment filled with laughter and positivity. While we try to teach children about life, children teach us what life is all about. Why Choose Me? ✔Adult & Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certified ✔ Experienced & Trustworthy: As the eldest of three, caregiving has been second nature to me. With a 9-year age gap between my younger brother and me, I’ve helped guide him from toddlerhood through his teens—assisting with schoolwork, projects, activities, and transportation. My baby sister, now 3, keeps me on my toes, and I cherish every moment of it! ✔ Professional Childcare Background: Beyond babysitting for family and clients (ages 1.5+), I’ve worked as an after-school teacher’s assistant at Sunshine Learning Center (K-2) and Best Friends Learning Center (Grades 1-6). I also served as an administrative assistant at a children's art studio, where I helped kids (5+) explore their creativity. ✔ Pet Lover & Experienced Dog Walker: With over 12 years as a dedicated dog owner, I understand that pets are part of the family too! I also have hands-on experience dog-walking for clients, ensuring their furry companions receive the care, attention, and exercise they need. Education & Career: I studied at Arizona State University and currently work as a Realtor. While my professional path is in real estate, my love for working with children has remained a constant throughout my life. If you're looking for a reliable, engaging, and caring nanny who will treat your child like family, I’d love to connect! Let’s create wonderful memories together.
“We had a great experience with Tiffany. She was on time and very engaged. My son was shy at first, but he warmed to her quickly.”
Hello - My name is Thalia, a preschool teacher (graduate) with extensive experience in ages between 1-15. In Brazil, I worked as a preschool teacher and I also worked as a private tutor for children from bilingual schools. Originally from Brazil, I’m 27 years old and I have been working as a nanny here in San Francisco for +1.5 years and I love what I do! Ps: I have over 10 years of experience working with children in my home country as a nanny and a teacher. I’m kind, flexible, easygoing and very patient and people usually describe me as a calm and very proactive person. In my routine as a nanny I can cook, drive and help with everything related to the children. I also love going for walks, playgrounds and of course, teaching the little ones and helping them in their daily development. I don’t have any allergies and I love animals! I’m pretty much open to work with families that have pets! I speak both English and Portuguese! My English level is advanced and my native language is Portuguese! Want me to teach Portuguese to your kids? Let me know! CPR/FIRST AID CERTIFIED ✅ Any questions are welcome!

"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."
