Hi, I’m Lisa! I have over six years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to teens. I’ve worked as a preschool teacher, a special education aide, and a babysitter for many families. My experience includes preparing meals, driving to appointments and extracurriculars, helping with homework, bedtime routines, and providing support with daily needs like feeding, bathing, and toileting. I value compassion, patience, and play in every interaction. I love pretend play, building, dolls, reading stories, arts and crafts, and exploring nature with kids. I’m not afraid to get silly and believe children thrive when they feel safe, seen, and joyful. I’m also experienced with pet care! I currently help care for two cats and an elderly dog by giving medication, going for walks, and providing lots of affection. I grew up with both large and small dogs, so I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes. Families can count on me to be dependable, nurturing, and fun while keeping your little ones safe and happy.
Hi! I’m Maira, and I have over five years of experience caring for children between the ages of 3 month and 13 years old. I’d describe myself as kind, responsible, and patient. I genuinely enjoy working with kids because I love watching them learn, grow, and explore the world. I’m looking for a nanny position where open communication is valued, and I can create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for the children. In my free time, I enjoy yoga and exercise, which help me stay active and energized. One thing you should know about me is that I have experience as an assistant teacher at a Montessori school, which has given me valuable skills in child development and hands-on learning approaches. I’d love the opportunity to bring my experience and care to your family!
“Maira was great with our 3 month old! Helped us with playtime and putting her down for a nap! Will definitely use her again!”
I have worked in early childhood education for over 8 years. I am a mother of two children. I love working with children, I have BA degree in Early Childhood Education, teacher's permit and CPR and first aid certification. I am committed to creating a safe, healthy, inclusive, and multicultural learning environment. I focus on teamwork and building good relationships with children and parents, becoming an indispensable partner in children's learning and growth and a trustworthy partner for families. I can speak Mandarin, Cantonese, and English. I am a new member of UrbanSitter and look forward to working with you and your child.
“We feel fortunate for our children to be under the care of Angel. She is truly a professional and my toddler immediately took to her. I’ve never seen anything like it. Every time she comes to our house she brings something new and interesting. I feel like her time with our children isn’t just about watching them but is also about enriching and educating them. On top of that she’s prompt and an excellent communicator. I sincerely appreciate her so much and think any family would be lucky to work with her. ”
Having just completed my master's degree in Global Health, I have recently moved to San Francisco and am looking to work in childcare while I get settled. I have steadily watched children of all ages (anywhere from 4 months to 11 years) since I was a young teenager. I last worked as an after-school nanny to a five-year-old boy while I was getting my undergraduate degree in Washington, DC. I have also worked as an English literacy tutor for kindergarteners. I genuinely adore children, and would love to help your family out! I am also happy to provide references. In my free time, I love to practice yoga, rock climb, cook, and explore the city's parks and museums.
Hello! My name is Neha and I just moved to the area from Washington, DC! In DC, I served as a part time nanny of 2 children (ages 6 and 9) for 4 years. I also was the part time nanny of a 2 year old girl for 2 years. Additionally I have done many occasional babysitting gigs for a range of ages from infants to 14 year olds. I am passionate about childcare and am a very caring and kind nanny. I am willing to help with homework and am conscious of any rules that need to be maintained. I love to play and am always suggesting playing with toys, or playing outside to keep kids off screens! I have played everything from barbie to hide and seek to legos with kids and truly love it. I prioritize the safety of your children and am always available for communication on my phone. I like to keep parents updated with check-ins. I have a valid drivers license and am happy to drive but do not have a car. Overall, I truly love taking care of children and have extensive experience!

"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."
