Hi, my name is Oumaima. I'm 28 years old and I'm originally Italian. I consider myself a very reliable, patient and happy person. :) I truly enjoy spending time with kids so that makes my job a lot easier to do, I do love teaching them new things and be able to help them improve their skills. I have worked with children of all ages for the past 5years (newborns- 12/15yo) so I know how to handle a workload and be on top of the situation at all times. I am a very energetic and outgoing person who enjoys outdoors activities and sports. With the previous kids i worked with, we enjoyed going to the library together and read in italian/english; go to music classes, as well as gymnastic and yoga classes. If the situation allowed it we would spend the day at the museum or have playdates with our little friends at the park, of course, depending on the age of the children activities tend to vary but i'm sure we'll find something exciting and fun to do! Previous experiences also include -sleep training -introduction to solid food/finger food -potty training -laundry wash/fold No need to mention that maintaining some sort of order in the house at all times and help with light housekeeping/meal prep. if necessary is totally fine and understandable; obviously my goal as a nanny is to provide the best environment possible for both the children and the parents. My first language is italian but I also speak english, spanish and arabic. I would be very happy to introduce the kids to different languages but if not required english works perfectly fine. I hope i was able to tell you a little bit about myself, but if you'd like to learn more please don't hesitate to contact me. Looking forward to hearing from you soon! Wish you a great rest of your day Thank you -UMI
Hi! My name is Mayra. I’m 28 years old and currently living in the sunset area of San Francisco. I’m a Dominican University alum and have been working with children for over 14 years. I started babysitting at 12 years old for a family in my neighborhood, and from there I was referred to multiple families. Over time, I’ve cared for children from 3 months to 12 years old, including infants, toddlers, and early school-age kids. I also grew up helping raise my two younger brothers, so childcare has always felt natural to me. I’m a mom to a sweet 4-year-old and truly love working with kids. Families I’ve worked with describe me as patient, responsible, and easy to communicate with. Caring for children has always been a passion of mine. Every child I’ve cared for has taught me something new, and I love being able to support families in a meaningful way. I look forward to meeting yours!

I am a private school teachers aide for special needs children and have worked with kids aged 6 to 18 in this field. Before being a teacher, I was a respite care provider for special needs children. Overall, I have been in the field professionally for 4 years, but have done nannying since I was 15, for children as young as 3 months! (I am now 23 years old) Before this field, I worked in elderly assisted living. I had a variety of pets growing up and am comfortable caring for animals as well! I am passionate, energetic, and think quick on my feet. I can care for multiple children or pets at a time, and I do not tire easily. I also know a bit of conversational American Sign Language!
“Sita was great! On time, very attentive, and great communication. Went above and beyond our expectations!”

"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."
